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<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>He went on to ask, “Do you think these three understandings are the same or different<\/span>?”<\/span>

Sitting in balance in the mountain-still state,<\/span> “Think the concrete state of not thinking.” “How can the state of not thinking be thought?” “It is different from thinking.”<\/span> This is the secret of sitting-Zen.<\/span> [NISHIJIMA]
