Blue Cliff Record (Forty-First Case)

Translated by Thomas and J.C. Cleary:

Chao Chou asked T'ou Tzu, "How is it when a man who has died the great death returns to life?"

T'ou Tzu said, "He must not go by night: he must get there in daylight."

kphoover: What is the great death Chao speaks of? It must be other than the death of the body, since a dead body does not return to life. But then T'ou Tzu's enigmatic reply casts even this into doubt. He acknowledges the possibility of such a return.
