- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras and questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
- The sutra
- Kasan said, "Learning by study is called hearing; learning no more is called nearness; transcending these two is true passing."
- A monk asked, "What is true passing?"
- Kasan said, "Beating the drum."
- The monk asked again, "What is the true teaching of the Buddha?"
- Kasan said, "Beating the drum."
- The monk asked once more, "I would not ask you about this very mind is the Buddha, but what is no mind, no Buddha?"
- Kasan said, "Beating the drum."
- The monk still continued to ask: "When an enlightened one comes, how do you treat him?"
- Kasan said, "Beating the drum."
- Setcho put it like this:
- Dragging a stone, carrying earth,
- Use the spiritual power of a thousand-ton bow.
- Zokotsu Roshi rolled out three wooden balls;
- How could they surpass Kasan's beating the drum?
- I will tell you, what is sweet is sweet,
- What is bitter, bitter.
- Question 1
- Osho, would you agree with Kasan that there is a state beyond learning?
- Question 2
- Is it possible to hear through the eyes and see with the ears? That's what feels to be happening during these discourses.
- Would you please comment?
- Question 3
- What did the monk mean by his last question? To speak of how to treat a buddha sounds as if one has some control over how one will be in his presence, as if there might be a certain protocol to be observed.
- Would you please explain?
