"Thirty years ago, before I began the study of Zen, I said, "Mountains are mountains, waters are waters." After I got an insight into the truth of Zen through the instruction of a good master, I said, "Mountains are not mountains, waters are not waters." But now, having attained the abode of final rest [i.e., Awakening], I say, "Mountains are really mountains, waters are really waters."

Ch'ing-yuan Wei-hsin. Quoted by Masao Abe:"God, Emptiness, and Ethics"
