After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
- The sutra
- When Basho was out walking with Hyakujo he saw a wild duck fly past.
- Basho said, "What is it?"
- Hyakujo said, "It is a wild duck."
- Basho said, "Where is it?"
- Hyakujo said, "It has flown away."
- Basho at last gave Hyakujo's nose a sharp pinch. Hyakujo cried out with pain.
- Basho said, "There, how can it fly away?"
- Setcho says:
- The wild duck! What, how and where?
- Basho has seen, talked, taught and exhausted the meaning of mountain clouds and moonlit seas.
- But Jo doesn't understand -- "Has flown away."
- Flown away? No, he is brought back! Say! Say!
- Question 1
- Osho, Basho is said to have been the first Zen master to use hits, pinches, shouts and pushes to bring a disciple to the present. But such methods leave themselves open to abuse and to becoming simply a tradition.
- You seem to devise a different method every day to outsmart us.
- You are always at least one step ahead of us!
- What do you say?
