Nanyuan's "Naked Flesh"

From Case 261 of Dahui's Treasury of the Eye of the True Teaching

Master Nanyuan said to an assembly, "In the mass of naked flesh stand like a wall a mile high."

A monk asked, "In the mass of naked flesh stand like a wall a mile high--isn't this a saying of yours?"

He said, "Yes."

The monk then overturned the Chan seat.

Nanyuan said, "Look at this blind fellow acting rebelliously"

The monk hesitated; Nanyuan hit him and drove him out.

Dahui said, "I now guarantee you this matter is ultimately not in vain."

Couple of Q's for the OP-reading public:

Where's the citation from?

Which matter was ultimately not in vain?

How do you make the mass of naked flesh stand like a wall a mile high?
