Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo, Vo. 2:
484 . Ananda asked Kasyapa, “The World Honored One transmitted the golden sleeved vestment; other than that, what teaching did he transmit?” Kasyapa called, “Ananda!” Ananda responded. Kasyapa said, “Take down the flagpole in front of the gate.”
Fenyang said, “If he didn’t ask, how would he know?”
Wuzu Jie said, “Evident.”
Cuiyan Zhi said, “The thousand year shadowless tree, the present day bottomless shoes.”

(Welcome link) (ewkwho?) note: Because of the loss of records and the general lack of scholarship encouraged by religious apologetics, we often miss the flavor of the cacophony of dissent and blibber blabber.
There have been a couple of Cases lately about calling out somebody's name and what the significance of that is. If we take my argument that dhyana means "Reigning Awareness", then calling out somebody's name makes sense as the sole transmission of Buddha's teaching: dhyana.
Anybody want to take up the shadowless tree or the bottomless shoes?
