- 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
- A warrior came to the Zen Master Hakuin and asked "Is there such a thing as heaven and hell?"
- Hakuin said "Who are you?"
- The warrior replied "I am chief samurai to the emperor."
- Hakuin said "You, a samurai? With a face like that, you look more like a beggar."
- At this the warrior became so angry he drew his sword.
- Standing calmly in front of him, Hakuin said "Here open the gates of hell."
- Perceiving the master's composure, the soldier sheathed his sword and bowed.
- Hakuin then said "And here open the gates of heaven."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, how does what you said about heaven and hell tie in with what you've been saying about roots and wings? When you say roots into this earth and wings into that heaven, I've got a feeling of being infinitely stretched -- that this earth is close and that heaven is far away. What is the significance of "this" and "that"?
