China #1481: Winter Landscape by Sung Artist (960-1126) (issued May 20, 1966)

Mountains Are Mountains See the mountains are mountains—     the mountains are no more. See the mountains are mountains—     my feet are off the floor! Some say mountains are outside—    when inside, they're no more. Neither outside nor inside—     gone to the other shore! Know the mountains as mountains—     the mountains as the mind. Drink from the upper fountains—     mountains and mind are mine!     First viewpoint is physical,         the second's mystical,     the third's philosophical,         the fouth's a miracle!     Thus ego-self has sight,     Witness-self has insight,     The Overself has light,     The Pure Self in delight!       Peter Y. Chou       Corseaux, 10-26-1978
