- The sutra
- When Hyakujo was a young boy, his mother took him to a temple, and entering, she bowed to the Buddhist statue.
- Pointing to the statue, Hyakujo asked his mother, "What's that?"
- "That's a buddha," she replied.
- Hyakujo said, "He looks like a man. I want to become a buddha afterwards."
- Many years later, Hyakujo became a monk. One day, as attendant to Baso, he went wandering in the mountains. On his return he suddenly began to weep.
- One of his fellow monks said, "Are you thinking of your father and mother?"
- "No," said Hyakujo.
- "Did somebody slander you?" asked the monk.
- "No," answered Hyakujo.
- "Then what are you weeping for?" persisted the monk.
- "Go and ask the master," said Hyakujo.
- The monk went and asked Baso, who said, "Go and ask Hyakujo."
- The monk came back to the room and found Hyakujo laughing.
- "You were weeping a little while ago; why are you laughing now?" he asked.
- Hyakujo said, "I was weeping a little while ago, and now I am laughing."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, I have just remembered that we are not human thinkings or human feelings -- we are human beings. We are meant just to be, aren't we?
- It is not a luxury that only some people can afford -- it is really okay just to be, isn't it?
