"You may say you attained some stage in your practice. But that is just a
trivial event in your long life. It is like saying the ocean is round, or like
a jewel, or palace. For a hungry ghost the ocean is a pool of blood; for a
dragon the ocean is a palace; for a fish it is his house; for a human being it
is water. There must be various understandings. When the ocean is a palace, it
is a palace. You cannot say it is not a palace. For a dragon it is actually a
palace. If you laugh at a fish who says it is a palace, Buddha will laugh at
you who say it is two o'clock, three o'clock. It is the same thing."
- Shunryu Suzuki
