Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:57
The phrase “high mountains” refers to those in positions of power and authority. The trees growing in the high mountains and those growing in the low valleys—the latter referring to people struggling on the lower rungs of the social ladder—are all the same in the eyes of God.
