Case 40: Nansen and the Flower

Minister Rikuko talked with Nansen.
Rikuko said,
   "Dharma-teacher Jo said, 'Heaven and earth and I have one and the
   same root; all things and I are one single body.' How wonderful this is!"

Nansen pointed at the flowers in the garden, called to Rikuko and said,
   "People of our time [1] see these flowers as in a dream."


[1]: I.e. "you."
