There is no one path of cultivation, rather the world of cultivators is a trackless wilderness, in which we wander alone. Occasionally we find the footprints of those who have gone before us, and we can follow those for a time. In the sutras and texts of our elders, much wisdom can be found. Beyond those trails, blazed by our fore-bearers, lies deeper knowledge.  How far will Billiam Quackenbusch go to seek that wisdom?
