The sutras
Kinzan, Ganto and Seppo were doing zazen when Tozan came in with the tea. Kinzan shut his eyes. Tozan asked, "Where are you going?"
Kinzan replied, "I am entering dhyana."
Tozan said, "Dhyana has no gate; how can you enter into it?"
A monk asked Joshu, "What is the way without mistakes?"
Joshu said, "Knowing one's mind, seeing into one's nature, is the way without mistakes."
A monk asked Ganto, "When the three worlds are attacking us, what shall we do?"
"Sit still!" said Ganto.
The monk was surprised and said, "Please explain a little more."
"Bring me mount Ro," said Ganto, "and I will tell you."
On another occasion, Zuigan asked Ganto, "What is the eternal and fundamental principle of things?"
Ganto replied, "Movement."
Zuigan asked, "What is this movement?"
Ganto said, "When you see things move, can't you see this eternal and fundamental principle of things?"
Zuigan was lost in thought, and Ganto said, "If you agree to this, you are still in the dust of this world; if you disagree, you will be always sunk in life and death."


Question 1
Beloved Osho, the story of Zuigan seems to hit the nail on the head, doesn't it?
Is it not so, that we are literally "lost in thought" and found again in meditation?
