Come spiegare un'arancia a chi non ne ha mai assaggiata una? Come raccontarne il gusto zuccherino e acidulo, il profumo dolce e fiorito, la sua consistenza fresca e succosa che al morso oppone una tenera resistenza? Per quanto si provi è impossibile, come lo è presentare i concetti fondamentali di una tradizione potente e trasformativa pari a quella del buddhismo, per la quale sono fondamentali guide sicure e prudenti, maestri che sappiano puntare il dito nella direzione giusta.
