When a fish swims, no matter how far it swims, it does not reach the end of the water. When a bird flies, no matter how high it flies, it cannot reach the end of the sky. If there are fish that would swim, or birds that would fly, only after investigating the entire ocean or sky, they would find neither path nor place. When we make this very place our own, our practice becomes the actualization of reality.- -This path, this place, is neither big nor small, neither self nor others. -Genjokoan
