嘉州黑水和尚。初參黃龍問曰。雪覆蘆華時如何。黃龍曰。猛烈。師曰。不猛烈。黃龍又曰。猛烈。師又曰。不猛烈。黃龍便打。師因而惺覺。自爾契緣化行黑水。

Upādhyāya Heishui of Jiazhou. When he first visited Huanglong, he asked, "What is it like when snow covers the reed blossoms?" Huanglong said, "Fierce!" The Master said, "Not fierce." Huanglong said again, "Fierce!" The Master said again, "Not fierce." Huanglong then struck him. The Master thereby awakened. From then on, his conditions accorded [with the Dharma], and his teaching was carried out at Heishui.
