- Reader of the sutras and questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
- The sutra 1
- Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma, "What is the first principle of the holy teachings?"
- Bodhidharma said, "Emptiness, no holiness."
- "Who is this standing before me?"
- "No knowing."
- The emperor did not grasp his meaning. Thereupon Bodhidharma crossed the river and went to the land of Wei.
- The emperor later spoke of this to Shiko who said, "Do you in fact know who this person is?"
- The emperor said, "No knowing."
- Shiko said, "This is the Bodhisattva Kannon, the bearer of the Buddha's heart seal."
- The emperor was full of regret and wanted to send for Bodhidharma, but Shiko said, "It is no good sending a messenger to fetch him back. Even if all the people went, he would not turn back."
- Setcho put it like this:
- The holy teaching? "Emptiness!"
- What is the secret here?
- Again, "Who stands before me?"
- "No knowing!"
- Inevitable, the thorns and briars springing up;
- Secretly, by night, he crossed the river.
- All the people could not bring him back.
- Now, so many years gone by.
- Still Bodhidharma fills your mind -- in vain.
- Stop thinking of him!
- A gentle breeze pervades the universe.
- The master looks around:
- "Is the patriarch there? -- yes! Bring him to me, and he can wash my feet."
- Question 1
- Osho, this verse seems to contain the essence of Zen -- "no knowing." Is this why you have called Zen the only living religion?
- The sutra 2
- Bokushu asked a monk, "Where are you from?" the monk gave a `katsu' shout.
- Bokushu said, "This old monk is shouted down by you."
- The monk shouted again.
- Bokushu said, "What about the third and fourth shouts?"
- The monk stayed silent.
- Bokushu hit the monk and said, "You empty-headed fool!"
- Setcho put it like this:
- Two shouts, three shouts;
- The knowing one knows well;
- If going hell-bent,
- Both are blind.
- Who is blind? Fetch him!
- Expose him to the world!
- Question 2
- Osho, I also am an empty-headed fool -- I don't understand this sutra at all! Could you give the fifth shout?
