revealed effectively. A poem of that story would

Since religions such as Buddhism and Christianity
have fundamentally different grammars, how can
they have anything to say to each other? 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 [that is, Awakening], I say, "Mountains

From the mountains, you can see it coming. Time
sits on the horizon like rain clouds, holding out.
In the cities you carry it around in your pocket.
Time is organized around where you have to be. You
