“我开悟之前，

砍柴时惦念着担水，

担水时惦念着做饭，

做饭时又想着砍柴；

开悟之后，砍柴即砍柴，

担水即担水，做饭即做饭。”

—— 禅宗五祖弘忍

“Before enlightenment, while chopping wood I kept thinking about carrying water. While carrying water, I was thinking about cooking. And while cooking, I worried about chopping wood. After enlightenment, chopping wood is simply chopping wood,

carrying water is just carrying water, and cooking is only cooking.”
