An ancient Zen master said: 'Being-time stands on the topmost peak and in the utmost depths of the sea, being-time is three heads and eight elbows, being-time is a height of sixteen or eighteen feet, being-time is a monk's staff, being time is a hossu (a fly whisk), being-time is a stone lantern, being-time is Tom and Dick, being-time is Harry, being-time is earth, being-time is sky.'Loosely from Dogen, "Being-Time," Shobogenzo, quoted in Kapleau's Three Pillars.
