The sutra
When Tosu was in Tojo province, Joshu asked him, "Aren't you the master of Tosu hermitage?"
Tosu said, "Give me some tea, salt, and cash!"
Joshu went back to the hermitage, and that evening saw Tosu coming back with some oil. Joshu said to him, "I heard much of Tosu, but all I find is an old man selling oil."
Tosu said, "You see the old oil-seller, but you don't know Tosu."
Joshu said, "Well, how about Tosu?"
Tosu held up the bottle and said, "Oil! Oil!"
At the funeral of one of his monks, Joshu joined in the procession and commented, "What a long procession of dead bodies follows in the wake of a single living person!"


Question 1
Beloved Osho, we were told that our total participation in the yaa-hoo is needed for your work on us. Is it that a crescendo of sound in the yaa-hoo, and the intense experience of silence in the last stage of meditation, lead to exactly the same space --F the "sea of consciousness"?
