    How foolish you are,
    grasping the letter of the text and ignoring its intention!

If you have the true faith to the Lotus Sutra, the eternal Buddha Shakyamuni, the main body of Buddha Shakyamauni, is guiding you to the enlightenment anytime. Because the eternal Buddha Shakyamuni lives with you in your mind forever.

Aha, I know Scottsdale, was at Orme for a summer, the desert is incredible. Must be wonderful to meditate there...I love the quiet myself, unfortunately in the video the pinky character never stopped.

Nagarjuna!
Hence Nagarjuna writes: "There is nothing whatever which differentiates samsara from nirvana; and there is nothing whatever which differentiates nirvana from samsara. The extreme limit of nirvana is also the extreme limit of samsara; there is not the slightest bit of difference between these two" (M 25: 19-20

Seems like the long way round. Why take the long way round unless he was trying to avoid something.

Beautiful, thank you!
I live in the Mojave desert northeast from the city of Mojave in a place called California City. I can see the Sierras from my back yard.
The Desert does have its great beauty and solitude...
Best Wishes! di
