After discourse Osho leads No-Mind Meditation.
- The sutra
- There was a monk who had stayed with Yakusan for three years and served as the head cook. Once, Yakusan asked him, "How long have you been here?"
- "Three years," the monk replied.
- "I don't know your face at all," said Yakusan.
- The monk did not understand what Yakusan meant, and, out of resentment, left the monastery.
- Another monk once said to Yakusan, "I have a doubt. Please, master, clear it away."
- Yakusan said, "Then come to me at the regular discourse."
- That night, seated for discourse, Yakusan addressed the assembly of monks in front of him, saying, "Tonight a monk will clear his doubt away. Where are you? Come up here!"
- The monk arose and came forward. No sooner had he reached the master than Yakusan knocked him down and immediately returned to his room.
- Question 1
- Cannot we disagree with you? Cannot we criticize you?
- Question 2
- Our Beloved Master, is it because of a refusal to encounter the reality of death that there is a reluctance to meditate?
