synopsis
Reader of the sutras and questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
The sutra
A monk said to Kyosei, "I want to peck from the inside. Would you please tap from the outside?"
Kyosei said, "Could you attain life or not?"
The monk said, "If I could not attain life I would become a laughingstock."
Kyosei said, "You too are a fellow in the weeds."
Setcho put it like this:
Old Buddha had his way of teaching,
The monk's answer won no praise.
Strangers to each other, hen and chick,
Who can peck when the tapping comes?
Outside, the tap was given;
Inside, the chick remained.
Once again the tap was given;
Monks throughout the world attempt the trick in vain.


Question 1
Osho, this anecdote evokes such a beautiful image of what transpires between master and disciple.
Can you talk about the peck and tap that we call our relationship with you?
