“Do not think flowing is like wind and rain moving from east to west. The entire world is not unchangeable, not immovable. It flows. Flowing is like spring. Spring with all its numerous aspects is called flowing. When spring flows, there is nothing outside of spring. Study this in detail. Spring always flows through spring. Although flowing itself is not spring, flowing occurs throughout spring. Thus, flowing is complete as just this moment of spring.” — Dogen, “Uji,” Shobogenzo, Kaz Tanahashi edition
