CD 8: Continuation of Tathagata’s Meditation along the Forest Path
As he tries to find the way, where he may meet the beauty he is searching, he steps in a dreamy world of the Muses and the goddesses, who inspire great artists, writers and musicians. As he attempts to approach this beauty as a man of flesh and blood, the search for the beauty ends in blindness. He looses his sight, while the hunter of flesh and blood ravishes the mortal beauty, who, too, has been searching the love of the male counterpart. After this loss of vision and ravishment of the beauty in a dreamy treacherous realm, he receives the power of the mind to see beauty beyond the perceptive world. Receiving this power he moves to the next part of the journey which proceeds through the realm of intellectual contemplation.
