- The sutra
- On one occasion, Nansen said to Joshu, "Nowadays, it is best to live and work among members of a different species from us."
- Joshu replied, "Leaving aside the question of 'different' let me ask you, what do you mean by 'species'?"
- Nansen put his hands on the ground. Joshu walked towards Nansen from behind, trampling him into the ground, and then ran into the Nirvana hall, crying, "I repent! I repent!"
- Nansen sent his attendant to ask Joshu what he was repenting for. Joshu replied, "I repent that I did not trample him twice over."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, are you not committed even to truth, to freedom? If you are not is that because truth and freedom are such an intrinsic part of you that there is no possibility of a relationship -- which a commitment is -- with them?
