Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
Question 1
Beloved Osho, I have carried this sutra you spoke on in Poona with me for many years. It reads:
The Buddha said,
It is better to feed one good man
Than to feed one hundred bad men.
It is better to feed one who observes
The five precepts of Buddha
Than to feed one thousand good men.
It is better to feed one srotapanna
Than to feed ten thousand of those
Who observe the five precepts of Buddha.
It is better to feed one skridagamin
Than to feed one million of srotapannas.
It is better to feed one anagamin
Than to feed ten millions of skridagamins.
It is better to feed one arhat
Than to feed one hundred millions of anagamins.
It is better to feed one pratyak buddha
Than to feed one billion of arhats.
It is better to feed one of the buddhas
Either of the present or of the past or of the future
Than to feed ten billions of pratyak buddhas.
It is better to feed one who is above
Knowledge, one-sidedness, discipline, and
Enlightenment than to feed one hundred billions of
Buddhas of past, present, or future.
It says so much about your height and our darkness, and has produced two feelings in me: The blessing and joy of being in your magnificence, and the arduousness of how far we have to travel just to have a taste of your consciousness.
Would you please speak on this again?
