- notes
- Since 1992, first for re-mastered audios, this series is known as A Bird on the Wing.
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Nansen found two groups of monks squabbling over the ownership of a cat.
- Nansen went to the kitchen and brought back a chopper. He picked up the cat and said to the monks, "If any of you can say a good word, you can save the cat."
- Not a word was said, so Nansen cut the cat in two and gave half to each group.
- When Joshu returned that evening, Nansen told him what had happened. Joshu said nothing. He just put his sandals on his head and walked out.
- Nansen said, "If you had been there, you could have saved the cat."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, in place of the ten commandments, with which I was brought up, I have given myself a new set of rules -- be alert, be patient, be spontaneous, accept myself.
