Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
353. Master Huayao Ying, teaching an assembly, held forth his staff and said, I now guarantee this matter for you—it is ultimately not in vain. The great enlightened World Honored One was a speaker of truth, who told of reality, who told it like it is, not fooling, not contradicting, not cheating you people. But can you actually believe?

Over ten thousand miles, the eighth and ninth months; on one body, the northwest wind. (he planted the staff)
