The tree of life vision is, according to the Book of Mormon, a vision received in a dream by the prophet Lehi, and later in vision by his son Nephi, who wrote about it in the First Book of Nephi. The vision includes a path leading to a tree symbolizing salvation[citation needed], with an iron rod along the path whereby followers of Jesus[clarification needed] may hold to the rod[clarification needed] and avoid wandering off the path into pits or waters[tone], symbolizing the ways of sin[citation needed]. The vision also includes a large building where the wicked look down on the righteous and mock them.
The vision is said to symbolize the spiritual plight of humanity and is a well-known and cited story among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Corbin T. Volluz, a Latter-day Saint lawyer, reflected a common belief of church members that the vision is "one of the richest, most flexible, and far-reaching pieces of symbolic prophecy contained in the standard works [scriptures]."[1]: 30 [2]
