Discovering the Footprints
Hoofprints in mud beside a stream. The figure bends down, examining them with growing recognition.
Along the riverbank under the trees, he discovers footprints! Even under the fragrant grass he sees his traces. Deep in remote mountains they are found.
Through study and teaching, the seeker discovers traces — the sutras are the footprints. Understanding dawns that all vessels are wrought of gold, and that the objective world is a reflection of the self.
