• 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.
