The sutras
Once Nansen said to the assembled monks, "The way is not outside things; outside things there is no way."
Joshu asked, "What is the way which is outside things?"
Nansen immediately struck him. Joshu caught hold of the stick and said, "From now on, don't strike somebody by mistake!"
Nansen said, "It's easy to speak of a dragon, but difficult to please me!" and throwing down his stick, he went back to his room.
At another time, Joshu asked Nansen, "When one realizes that 'there is,' where should he go from there?"
Nansen replied, "He should go down the hill to become a buffalo in the village below!"
Joshu thanked Nansen for having led him to his full enlightenment.
In response, Nansen commented, "Last night, at the third watch, the moon shone through the window."


Question 1
Beloved Osho, will we recognize our original face, when we encounter it?
