人生三重界
南宋‧青原行思禪師（生卒年不詳）

參禪前，
看山是山，看水是水；
參禪中，
看山不是山，看水不是水；
悟道後，
看山仍是山，看水仍是水。

──《指月錄》卷二十八

Three Statuses of Mind
Qingyuan Weixin (Years unknown, Southern Song Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang

Before Chan,
    a mountain is a mountain, water is water;

During Chan,
    a mountain is no longer a mountain, water is no longer water;

After Chan and enlightenment,
    a mountain is once again a mountain, and water once again water.
