Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
The monk asked, “I’ve heard there’s an old saying ‘Ever since seeing peach blossoms, I’ve never had a doubt’—what does this mean?” Shoushan said, “Two people carry a three-foot staff.”
The monk said, “Am I allowed to carry it?” Shoushan said, “Put it down.”
The monk asked, “What is the substance of reality as such?” Shoushan said, “Knocking brick, hitting tile.”
The monk asked, “What does this mean?” Shoushan said, “Avoid stepping on it.”
The monk asked, “What is the student’s original body?” Shoushan said, “Not leading an ox into town.”
