Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
354. Datian was asked by Shitou, “What is your mind?” He said, “What manifests speech.” Shitou then shouted him out. After ten days Datian asked, “If what I said earlier was not right, other than this what is mind?” Shitou said, “Excluding raising the eyebrows and blinking the eyes, bring forth mind.” He said, “I have no mind—how can I bring it forth?” Shitou said, “You’ve always had a mind—how can you say you’ve no mind? Negating mind is just the same as slander.” At these words Datian awakened.
Dahui said, “Tell me, what did Datian realize?”
