+Sometimes it seems as if the mind is outside someplace.  We see all these
+things outside.  We see mountains or we hear echoes off of cliffs.  We have
+all these different thoughts of different places, and the mind seems to go to
+those places when we think about them.  But it only seems that way; the mind
+is not really outside of us either.  It dwells neither in external objects nor
+someplace in the body--we cannot find any place in the body where it is.  You
+might then think that since it is not in the body and it is not outside the
+body, it must be in the empty space in between.  But if you look, you cannot
+find it.  We need to look and become certain that the mind has no dwelling
+place--we must be certain that there is no real place that we can we can
+point to and say, “Aha!  That’s where it is!”
