A valid point, but you need to take on board the following:Sozan asked Elder Toku,
''The true Dharma-body of Buddha is like the empty sky. It manifests its
form corresponding to things -- just like the moon on the water.'
How do you explain the principle of this corresponding?'
Toku said 'It is like a donkey looking into a well.'
Sozan said 'You put it in a nice way, but you were able to say only eighty percent.'
Toku said 'How about you, Master?'
Sozan said 'It is like a well looking at a donkey.'
