This chapter opens with a discussion between the Governess and the Buddha. The Governess asks the Buddha if he would like to visit the place where he was killed by his master. The Buddha replies that he would expect to visit that place in this life. He says that he has been riding through the countryside and that he expects to arrive at that place one day. He wants to know what he should do. He asks for guidance. He feels that he is in a state of shock. He wonders if he has gotten stuck in a "real" illusion. He questions the Buddha about the mole between his eyebrows. The woman says that she has seen the mole, but that she did not do anything wrong. He then asks her if she is afraid of him. She replies that she is. She then asks him if he is okay. He tells her to talk to him.
