The sutra
When Hyakujo was a young boy, his mother took him to a temple, and entering, she bowed to the Buddhist statue.
Pointing to the statue, Hyakujo asked his mother, "What's that?"
"That's a buddha," she replied.
Hyakujo said, "He looks like a man. I want to become a buddha afterwards."
Many years later, Hyakujo became a monk. One day, as attendant to Baso, he went wandering in the mountains. On his return he suddenly began to weep.
One of his fellow monks said, "Are you thinking of your father and mother?"
"No," said Hyakujo.
"Did somebody slander you?" asked the monk.
"No," answered Hyakujo.
"Then what are you weeping for?" persisted the monk.
"Go and ask the master," said Hyakujo.
The monk went and asked Baso, who said, "Go and ask Hyakujo."
The monk came back to the room and found Hyakujo laughing.
"You were weeping a little while ago; why are you laughing now?" he asked.
Hyakujo said, "I was weeping a little while ago, and now I am laughing."


Question 1
Beloved Osho, I have just remembered that we are not human thinkings or human feelings -- we are human beings. We are meant just to be, aren't we?
It is not a luxury that only some people can afford -- it is really okay just to be, isn't it?
