This is a pretty commonly seen quote:
Before I had studied Zen for thirty years, I saw mountains as mountains, and waters as waters. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters. 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 waters once again as waters. - 青原惟信 Qingyuan Weixin
Essentially Qingyuan states he had 3 stages to understanding the dharma. Most literature concerns stage 1, stage 2. Are there any that talk mostly about stage 3?
