If you understand nature in its full sense,
we are also a part of nature. We have something to do with nature, and we
cannot be satisfied without doing something. We should participate in the nature.
So even in Zen picture -- Zen painting or drawing or picture maybe --
sansui, we say - sansui means “mountain and river” - we paint one or two people--
fisherman or woodcutter or farmer. ---------------------------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-12-04-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC - Many Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. Going slowly through Suzuki transcripts featuring whatever is next that seems okay.
