Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo, Vo. 2:
488 . Master Lohan Nan said to an assembly, The Buddhas did not emerge in the world, Bodhidharma didn’t come from the West. The mind seal of the founding teachers is like the works of the iron ox. Therefore, if it stamps the sky, sun and moon lose their light, heaven and earth are plunged into darkness. If it stamps water, it compresses the breakers and disturbs the waves, fish and dragons lose their lives. If it stamps mud, the whole earth melts, the roads of the holy and the ordinary are cut off. As for that other seal, who would dare stare at it? Nevertheless everywhere they make descriptions and likenesses; if it comes into my hand, I’ll simply make it shatter.
