The color of the mountains is Buddha's body; the sound of running water is his great speech.
Quotes added by Daikan
"To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion.
That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening."
~Dogen, "Actualizing the Fundamental Point"
From "Teachings of the Buddha," edited by Jack Kornfield
Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma see no Dharma in everyday actions; they have not discovered that there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma.
Mountains and rivers at this very moment are the actualization of the world of the ancient Buddhas. Each, abiding in its phenomenal expression, realizes completeness.
The true person is
Not anyone in particular;
But like the deep blue color
Of the limitless sky,
It is everyone,
Everywhere in the world.
When we discover that the truth is already in us, we are all at once around original selves.
Studying the Buddha way is studying oneself.
Studying oneself is forgetting oneself.
Forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things.
Being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others.
No trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment
continues endlessly.
