The sutra

Once, when Obaku was sitting in Nansen's reception room, Nansen asked him, "It is said that the Buddha nature can be clearly seen by those who study both samadhi and prajna equally. What does this mean?"

Obaku answered, "It means that we should not depend on anything at any time."

Nansen then asked, "I wonder whether the opinion you have just expressed is really your own."

"Of course not!" said Obaku.

Nansen then said, "Setting aside the question of payment for the drinking water for the moment, let me ask whom you intend to have the money for the straw sandals returned to?"

To this question, Obaku made no reply.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, is your axe of wisdom finding wings in us?
