We can understand the path to awakening as a journey upriver, out of the mass of men and their lives of quiet desperation and into the heart of darkness where everything comes into perfect clarity, like a diamond bullet to the forehead. I’ve made the journey — or so I say and you seem to believe — and now, like the guide on a sightseeing tour, I’m sharing some points of interest; where bunnies dance and where tigers lurk, where the waves break just right and where arrows rain from the sky, where you can catch a tan and where your once-human heart burns to a crisp. Ultimately, you may complete your mission and kill the Buddha, but only if the Buddha allows it, almost as if you were not sent but summoned.
