Practicing Zen - Blog Posts

8 years ago

In Zen circles, people say: "Before I became a practitioner, I saw mountain as mountains and rivers as rivers. When I began to practice, I no longer saw mountain as mountains and rivers as rivers; I began to see their interbeing nature. After I atttained the Path, I again saw mountain as mountains and rivers as rivers, but now my view is clearer, my understanding is brighter. I'm no longer caught in the view that the mountain is only the mountain and the river is only the river. Now I really see them, I see their true nature."
