Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
432 . When master Xuansha wanted to travel around to call on teachers, he took his bag to leave the mountain. He stubbed his toe, drawing blood and causing intense pain. He lamented, “This body is not existent; where does the pain come from?” So he then returned to Xuefeng.
One day Xuefeng asked him, “What are you?” He said, “I’ll never dare deceive people.”
Another day Xuefeng called him and said, “Why don’t you travel around to study?” He said, “Bodhidharma didn’t come to China, the second patriarch didn’t go to India.” Xuefeng approved of this.
Xuansha also read the Heroic Progress scripture and discovered the ground of mind. Henceforth his response to potentials was swift, in subtle accord with the scripture. Xuefeng praised him, calling him a reincarnation.

(Welcome link) (ewkwho?) note: It's charming how they are so silly and all the time they are plotting murders and betrayals and stuff. Reincarnation of who, exactly? Cancel the pilgrimage, I hurt my toe. Why did Xuefeng approve of Bodhidharma not coming to China?
