Gift
from Buddha is not only water but also mountain is a gift. So that mountain is
not always mountain. To us it is mountain but to a bird it is their home. There
may be various merits or virtues of the mountain, so (Fuyo Dokei zenji?) says,
‘The east mountain is flowing and the river stays.’ Water stays and mountain
flows. We think mountain is something which is always staying in some certain
place, but there may be
some person who sees the mountain flowing and water staying. -------------------------------------------------- " Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 67-12-014 as found on shunryusuzuki.com. Edited by DC
