After discourse Osho leads No-Mind Meditation.
- The sutra
- A monk asked Choro, who had been a disciple of Tanka, "The Buddhas of the past, present and future turn the great wheel of dharma in flames of fire -- is it correct or not?"
- Choro said, laughing, "I have doubts, after all."
- The monk asked, "Why do you doubt?"
- Choro said, "The fragrance of wildflowers fills the pathways, but the hidden birds don't know it is spring. Is there anyone who is not defiled by mystic wonder?" After a long silence, Choro concluded, "This one spot could not be washed away even if you dumped the waters of the ocean on it."
- Question 1
- These Zen sutras seem to come from a time when there were many enlightened ones in this world. What broke the chain of enlightenment, and left our planet with a single precious and unhidden flame of Buddha nature?
- How is it we have evolved into such an unenlightened planet when we were once blessed with so many masters?
- Question 2
- Listening to you, I understand that all those beautiful Zen masters just help us open up for the bliss and ordinariness around the corner.
- It's easy here, where miracles happen before breakfast and then never stop, but how to make it work the same way in everyday life and in society?
- Question 3
- The other night you pierced the onion to the core; then new protective layers sprang up.
- It seems one step forward is followed by two steps backwards; a moment's light makes the ensuing darkness deepen.
- Is this part of the process?
- Question 4
- Beloved Osho, in her book, 'The world of Zen,' Nancy Wilson Ross says of Zen -- in particular, when working on a koan -- "again and again it is emphasized that one cannot take hold of the truth merely by abandoning the false."
- Isn't truth what is left when the false is recognized for what it is? Or is there more to it?
