Delving into “Sansuikyō,” we can encounter the mountains and waters with a freshness of the heart that is beyond the human-centered mind.
That is the world of “mountains are mountains, waters are waters,” as the old buddha in the text says, unfolded through practicing zazen.
Through zazen, we can eventually realize with our own bodies what is written in “Sansuikyō.” Issho Fujita
