At Shoin-ji after 1717:
My own mind, mountains and rivers, the great earth seemed
serene and bottomless.... After this, when I looked at all things,
it was as though I was seeing my own face. For the
first time i understood the meaning of the saying, “The
[enlightened spirit] sees the Buddha-nature within the eye.”
[bold, Kinseth]
