- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras and questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
After discourse Osho leads Let-Go Meditation.
- The sutra
- A monk said to Kyosei, "I want to peck from the inside. Would you please tap from the outside?"
- Kyosei said, "Could you attain life or not?"
- The monk said, "If I could not attain life I would become a laughingstock."
- Kyosei said, "You too are a fellow in the weeds."
- Setcho put it like this:
- Old Buddha had his way of teaching,
- The monk's answer won no praise.
- Strangers to each other, hen and chick,
- Who can peck when the tapping comes?
- Outside, the tap was given;
- Inside, the chick remained.
- Once again the tap was given;
- Monks throughout the world attempt the trick in vain.
- Question 1
- Osho, this anecdote evokes such a beautiful image of what transpires between master and disciple.
- Can you talk about the peck and tap that we call our relationship with you?
