synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha. Questions are being read by Osho himself.
After discourse Osho leads No-Mind Meditation.
The sutra:
On a rainy day, monk Gao visited Yakusan, who commented, "Today it's quite humid."
"I will beat this drum," said Gao.
Ungan said, "There is no leather -- what drum do you beat?"
Dogo added, "There is no drum -- what leather do you beat?"
And Yakusan commented, "Today, the melody is very good."
Once, at the mealtime, Yakusan himself beat the drum, and monk Gao entered the hall, dancing. Yakusan dropped the drumstick and asked, "Which piece is that?"
"This is the second piece," said Gao.
Yakusan asked, "What is the first piece?"
Gao took the seat, helped himself to some rice, took the bowl of rice with him and left.
On another occasion, a monk came to Yakusan for guidance.
"Who are you?" Yakusan asked him.
"Jotan," replied the monk.
Yakusan shouted, "Last time it was Jotan and this time, too, it is Jotan!"


Question 1
The Christian church defends truth, honesty, and loyalty....
Question 2
Our Beloved Master, could you talk about the difference between a workaholic and someone who is total in their work?
