- The sutras
- A monk said to Tozan, "You always tell learners to take the way of the birds. What is this way of the birds?"
- Tozan said, "You meet nobody on it."
- The monk then asked, "How can we go on this way?"
- Tozan answered, "By egolessness, attending to each step as it comes."
- The monk said, "Isn't the birds' way the same as one's original nature?"
- Tozan said, "O monk, why do you get everything upside-down?"
- The monk asked, "What is this place where people get things upside-down?"
- Tozan said, "If there were no topsy-turviness how could a servant become a lord?"
- The monk asked, "What is our original nature?"
- Tozan answered, "Not taking the way of the birds."
- When a monk asked Kassan, "What is the way?" he answered, "The sun overflows our eyes; for ten thousand leagues not a cloud hangs in the sky."
- "What is the real form of the universe?" asked the monk.
- "The fishes at play in the clear-flowing water make their mistakes," replied Kassan.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, is it not true that, paradoxically, those who are at home in silence can use sound -- music or words -- most potently?
- Question 2
- I hear the gossip has spread in the garden -- the bamboos have told the birds -- that you dedicated one of these Zen discourse series to the bamboos.
- Is that why the birds were singing so fervently last night?
