Today's Tao
They are like stone. (Ch.39)
"Be like dust", says Lao Tzu.
In the chapter of Mountain Water Sutra 山水経 [san sui kyo] in his «Shobogenzo» 正法眼蔵, Dogen 道元 quotes Fuyo Dokai (Fu-jung Tao-k'ai) 芙蓉道楷:
"Blue mountains walk constantly. A stone woman gives birth to a child at night." 青山常運歩、 石女夜生児。
Dogen tells us not to doubt if mountains walk.
"While you are doubting mountains' walk, you don't know anything about your own walk", he says.
"Mountains" and "stone" as well as your own self are part of your hologram.
A stone woman gives birth to her child, and the child gives birth to the stone woman.
This is the Yin Yang cycle.
Nature and people are our prayer wheel.

-Monaco is well-known for its Casino de Monte Carlo and Formula 1 Grand Prix. Some may associate the principality with off-shore banking. But, believe it or not, it enjoys a beautiful Japanese garden in its territory. The garden was conceived and built by a Japanese master from Kyushu. He didn't like to bring in all the rocks and mosses from Far East. He believed that the materials must be related to the land there. Surely, the garden is authentic both in style and in spirit. Princess Grace must be quite content.
