Strehlow - L'amour Bootleg (Grim Reapmix)

From Oxford Bibliographies,

“The concept of the path or the way (mārga) is without a doubt one of the most important Buddhist concepts, and beyond Buddhism, of many Asian traditions. The Sanskrit word seems to play on the metaphor of the hunt: mārga comes from the verbal root mr̥g, to seek or to chase. Hence mr̥ga is what is being chased, that is, the game, and the mārga is what is used for the chase, namely, the track which the hunter follows to catch the game. Mārga, in Sanskrit and in Indic Buddhist literature in general, is not just “a way of doing something”; it is a path one takes to get to the object of one’s desire. As such, it embraces the notions of destination, of departure, of travel, and of seeker. The concept thus offers a “totalizing” aspect. When the concept arrives in China and gets translated as the dao, it starts to oscillate between two meanings, path and way: the dao is not just an instrument to get to awakening (bodhi), it might be the way the Buddha is and acts, which means that it is not something to practice for an external goal; the path becomes the goal.”
