Pico Iyer, ‘The Long Road to Sitting Still’

“The Buddha found what he had to see by sitting still, but even he had to travel to get to that point, to see through the other roads that would lead nowhere and come finally to the understanding that the truth we’re looking for is no further than the hair on our arms. The lives of each of us, the Buddha was saying on his path, are a journey toward recognizing where we’ve been all along.”
