The sutras

Ryuge was asked by a monk, "What is the meaning of Bodhidharma coming from the West?"

Ryuge said, "Wait till the stone turtle speaks words of explanation and I will tell you."

The monk said, "The stone turtle has spoken!"

Ryuge said, "What did it say to you?"

The monk was silent.

One of Daibai's monks asked his master the same question, to which Daibai replied, "His coming has no meaning."

The monk brought this question up to Enkan, who said, "Two dead men in one coffin."

Gensha, hearing of this, said, "Enkan is a clever chap."

The same question -- the meaning of Bodhidharma coming from the West -- was brought to Sekito, or "stonehead", as he was also known.

"Go and ask the outside post of the hall!" he exclaimed.

The monk said, "I don't know what you mean."

"Nor do I," said Sekito.

When Suiyro put the question to his master, Baso, Baso kicked him in the chest and knocked him down. Suiyro was enlightened. He stood up and, clapping his hands and laughing aloud, said, "A miracle! A miracle! The hundred samadhis and the countless mysterious truths are profoundly known to me now in the tip of one hair."

He made his bows and departed.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, last night was a truly existential discourse: the beast behind me, the Buddha before me, and I danced with both!
