The sutras
A monk had come to see Kisu and after a very brief stay was making his departure.
Kisu said, "Where are you going?"
The monk replied, "I'm going all over the place learning the five flavors of Zen."
Kisu said, "Yes, there are the five flavors of Zen in various places, but here I have only one."
The monk asked, "And what may be your one-flavored Zen?"
Kisu struck him.
The monk said, "I understand! I understand!"
Kisu said, "Tell me what! Tell me what!" and as the monk began to speak, Kisu struck him again.
At another time, a monk asked Kisu, "What is the Buddha?"
"If I tell you," said Kisu, "will you believe me?"
The monk replied, "The master's words are so momentous, how could I not believe them?"
Kisu said, "Simply, you are it."
The monk asked, "How can we maintain this state?"
Kisu said, "If your eye is just a little clouded, flowery illusions are rampant."
The monk was enlightened at this.


Question 1
Beloved Osho, I wonder, have I understood your words? Have I understood your silence? I only know that your words sound less like words, these days; and that your silence feels like our silence -- and that silence feels like the most familiar, the most natural of spaces.
