Christian, that was my understanding as well, but I had trouble with the metaphor. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. So far, I think the trascript is word-for-word with the mp3, but we miss the translation and the conversations between our Teacher and his Translator - in Tibetan. If you enjoy this, I must tell you that FPMT has a Basic Course (homestudy) called "Engaging in the Bodhisattva Deeds." It is fantastic, contains prayers and retreat materials, even preparation for taking Refuge and Vows. The two go together beautifully. The DM module gives us a chance to talk - and to talk to a Teacher. It's always nice to get two different takes on the same material. And most of the materials and Suggested Additional Readings are available online in mp3 format.
Again, thanks for clarification. I do tend to mix things up. There is a place where the Elephant and Rabbit are compared for speed of reaching enlightenment, as if speed were important. Sorry if I caused confusion.
