Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
361... Master Yunmen said to a newcomer, “Master Xuefeng said, ‘Clear the way—Bodhidharma’s coming!’ I ask you what you make of this.”
The monk said, “Bumping into the master’s nose.”
Yunmen said, “The earth spirit explodes, taking the polar mountain, leaps to the Brahma heaven, and smacks the emperor of gods in the nose; why do you hide your body in Japan?”
The monk said, “Better not fool people, master.”
Yunmen said, “What about bumping into my nose?”
The monk had no reply.
Yunmen said, “I knew you were just a literalist.”

(Welcome link) Meet ewk link note: Who can blame him? Who can even follow the conversation? Xuefeng taught Yunmen that? My question is, where does the nose enter into it?
