“If you see the signlessness of signs, you see the Tathagata.” This is a sentence from the Diamond Sutra. Tathagata means “the wondrous nature of reality.”4 To see the wondrous nature of water, you need to look beyond the sign (appearance) of the water, and see that it is made of non-water elements. If you think that water is only water, that it cannot be the sun, the earth, or the flower, you are not correct.
