Shoyoroku - Case 91: Nansen and the Peonies [1] Minister Rikuko said to Nansen, "Dharma-teacher Jo is wonderful. He truly knows what he is talking about: 'Heaven and earth and I have one and the same root; all things and I are one single body.'" Nansen pointed at the peonies in the garden and said, "Minister, people of our time [2] see these flowers as in a dream." [1]: see case 40 of Hekiganroku, which has a slightly different wording. [2]: I.e. "you".
