Re: Doka with Pine, Bamboo, Plum, Water, Fire
I believe that "pine, bamboo, and plum" are considerd the "three friends of winter"...You can look it up for more detail.......
"Fire and Water" within onesself refers, I believe, to the internal alchemy that needs to take place when they are combined in order to anchieve some level of enlightenment.
Could be wrong....
