- The sutras
- Baso said to his master, Nangaku, "The way is formless. How can we see it well?"
- Nangaku answered, "It is like the eye of the law, possessed by the ground of mind seeing clearly the way, the samadhi of no-form."
- Baso said, "Can it progress or decay?"
- Nangaku replied, "If it is seen as progressing and decaying, becoming firm and dispersing, it is not seen."
- Another master, Enkei, was asked by a monk, "It is said that if we see the form of things, we see the mind. If we take a lantern as form, what is the mind?"
- Enkei said, "You don't understand the meaning of the ancients."
- The monk asked, "What is the meaning of the ancients?"
- Enkei said, "The lantern is the mind."
- In another incident, the master, Hogen, pointed to some bamboos, and said to a monk, "Do you see them?"
- "I see them," replied the monk.
- "Do they come to the eye, or does the eye go to them?" asked Hogen.
- "I have no idea at all," said the monk.
- Hogen gave up and went away.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, thank you -- thank existence -- thank you -- that you don't give up as easily as Hogen.
