( .. then there is no mountain then there is .." )
" .. Before I had studied Chan (Zen) for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and rivers as rivers. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and rivers are not rivers. But now that I have got its very substance I am at rest. For it's just that I see mountains once again as mountains, and rivers once again as rivers." (link)
Fig 1. The Holy Mountain - Mount Kailash (alt view) (remind you of anywhere?) with Everest (slightly tilted) in the background. Both being pointy and steep show them once to have been higher. [So are these mountains ("tossed high by the collision of plates") .. or valleys due to erosion? [Crust crumpling /"building" up due to 'tectonics'? Or wearing down due to erosion?] (Source : google images)
