After discourse Osho leads No-Mind Meditation.
The sutra
Followers of the Tao, said Rinzai, this mountain monk's view does not differ from that of Sakyamuni Buddha. In all the variety of our daily activities, is there anything lacking? The spiritual light manifesting through the six senses has never been interrupted. He who is able to perceive it in this manner can be an unconcerned man for the rest of his life.
Virtuous ones, there is no peace in the three worlds which are like a house on fire. It is not a place for a long stay because the murderous demon of impermanence will, in an instant, make no choice between the noble and the humble, and between the old and the young. If you do not want to differ from the patriarch and the Buddha, it will suffice for you to seek nothing outside.
If, in the time of a thought, your pure and clean no-mind shines, this is your own dharmakaya buddha. If, in the time of a thought, your passionless no-mind shines, this is your own sambhogakaya buddha. If, in the time of a thought, your non-differentiating no-mind shines, this is your own nirmanakaya buddha.
This threefold body is the one who is now listening to my expounding of the dharma. This can only be achieved if nothing is sought from without.


Question 1
Our Beloved Master, when you talk about nirvana, or anything else that our minds do not know, it is easy enough to listen without the mind -- just allowing your words to filter through our consciousness, to use your words to meditate. However, when you speak on an issue that might affect our daily life, it is more difficult to listen without engaging the mind.
For example, apparently, the other night some of us heard you endorse drugs; some of us heard you say they were of no help for seekers.
If we use our mind at all in listening to you, have we missed the point of sitting here?
Question 2
Our Beloved Master, sometimes during meditation there is the sensation of consciousness arising and expanding. Is that the same phenomenon that is involved in watching?
