- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras and questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
- The sutra
- Kyosei asked a monk, "What is the noise outside?"
- The monk said, "That is the voice of the raindrops."
- Kyosei said, "Men's thinking is topsy-turvy. Deluded by their own selves, they pursue things."
- The monk asked, "What about yourself?"
- Kyosei said, "I was near it but am not deluded."
- The monk asked, "What do you mean by 'near it but not deluded'?"
- Kyosei said, "To say it in the sphere of realization may be easy, but to say it in the sphere of transcendence is difficult."
- Setcho put it like this:
- The empty hall resounds with the voice of the raindrops.
- Even a master fails to answer.
- If you say you have turned the current,
- You have no true understanding.
- Understanding? No understanding?
- Misty with rain, the Northern and Southern mountains.
- Question 1
- Osho, I wish I could tell Setcho that in our assembly, "An empty hall resounding with the voice of raindrops," is our master's answer.
- Question 2
- You have never failed to answer -- or at least whenever I have listened for it, I have always heard a response. What is your comment?
- Question 3
- When one's own voice becomes the voice of the raindrops -- is that your constant milieu?
