Man emulates earth
Earth emulates heaven
Heaven emulates the Way
The way emulates nature.

    “You should know that without mountain colors and valley sounds, Shakyamuni Buddha’s taking up the flower and Huike’s attaining the marrow would not have taken place. Because of the power of valley sounds and mountain colors, the great earth and sentient beings simultaneously attain the way, and there are countless buddhas who are enlightened upon seeing the morning star.”
    –From Dogen-Zenji, RAISING SAGES
