The sutras

Baso said to his master, Nangaku, "The way is formless. How can we see it well?"

Nangaku answered, "It is like the eye of the law, possessed by the ground of mind seeing clearly the way, the samadhi of no-form."

Baso said, "Can it progress or decay?"

Nangaku replied, "If it is seen as progressing and decaying, becoming firm and dispersing, it is not seen."

Another master, Enkei, was asked by a monk, "It is said that if we see the form of things, we see the mind. If we take a lantern as form, what is the mind?"

Enkei said, "You don't understand the meaning of the ancients."

The monk asked, "What is the meaning of the ancients?"

Enkei said, "The lantern is the mind."

In another incident, the master, Hogen, pointed to some bamboos, and said to a monk, "Do you see them?"

"I see them," replied the monk.

"Do they come to the eye, or does the eye go to them?" asked Hogen.

"I have no idea at all," said the monk.

Hogen gave up and went away.

Question 1

Beloved Osho, thank you -- thank existence -- thank you -- that you don't give up as easily as Hogen.
