In some ways the Buddhist teachings are all about being on a journey • in order to get anywhere, we have to have a sense of the lay of the land, and a sense of where we're trying to go • the first thing you look for is an arrow saying "you are here" • where are you starting from? where are you trying to go, and how are you going to get there? • treasure maps place an "x" where there is buried treasure; in our case, we're looking for buried treasure deep within us • the process of the journey itself becomes the teaching • there is a transformation from looking ahead, like a donkey with a carrot in front of its nose, to letting each step reveal the whole essence
