  • Before I had studied Zen for thirty years,
    I saw mountains as mountains,
    and waters as waters.
    When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains,
    and waters are not waters.
    But now that I have got its very substance
    I am at rest.
    For it's just that
    I see mountains once again as mountains,
    and waters once again as waters.
