An ancient buddha said, “Mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” These words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.

There are those who, attracted by grass, flowers, mountains, and waters, flow into the Buddha Way.

Clearly I know, the mind is mountains, rivers, and the great earth; sun, moon, and stars.

There are myriads of forms and hundreds of grasses throughout the entire earth, yet each grass and each form itself is the entire earth.

Although its light is wide and great, the Moon is reflected in a puddle one inch wide. The whole Moon and the entire sky is reflected in one dew drop on the grass.

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?
