福朗上座因僧問。如何是透法身句。師云。北斗裏藏身。朗罔測其旨。遂造焉。師一見便把住云。道道朗擬議。師托開有偈云。雲門聳剔白雲低。水急遊魚不敢棲。人戶已知來見解。何勞再舉轢中泥。朗大悟(出廣燈錄)。

Because a monk asked, "What is the phrase that penetrates the Dharmakāya?"
the master said, "Hiding one's body within the Northern Dipper."
Senior Monk Fulang could not fathom its meaning, so he went to see him.
As soon as the master saw him, he seized him and said, "Speak! Speak!"
As Lang was about to deliberate, the master pushed him away and gave a gāthā, saying:
"Yunmen towers steep, the white clouds hang low;
The current is swift, swimming fish dare not abide.
Knowing well the views you brought as you entered the gate,
Why trouble to raise again the mud between the ruts?"
Lang had a great awakening. (From Guangdeng lu).
