- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha. Questions are being read by Osho himself.
After discourse Osho leads No-Mind Meditation.
- The sutra
- One night Isan Reiyu was in attendance on Hyakujo, sitting till late in the quietness of the mountain temple.
- "Who are you?" Hyakujo asked.
- "Reiyu," replied Isan.
- "Rake in the fireplace," said Hyakujo.
- Isan did as he was told and said, "I find no embers left."
- Hyakujo took up the tongs and, raking deep down, brought up a tiny burning ember, which he showed to Isan, and said, "Just this, you see!"
- Isan was suddenly enlightened. He made deep bows and presented his views to Hyakujo, who said:
- "You have reached a crossroads on the journey. It is said in the sutra, 'If you want to see Buddha nature, you should observe time and causation.
- When the time comes you will realize it, just like remembering something you have forgotten. It is not obtained from others.
- Therefore, when you are enlightened it is just like when you were not enlightened -- no mind, no dharma.
- If only you have no delusion, and no discrimination between the Buddha and the unenlightened, your original nature manifests itself.
- Now you have attained it. Mindfully cultivate it.'"
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, when one talks to someone it is with the assumption that the other person can hear. One would not speak to a deaf person. But you are only talking to us until we begin to hear you. Aren't you?
- Question 2
- Beloved Osho, I remember you speaking some time ago about Zen in comparison with J. Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff's work, saying -- if I understood correctly -- that where J. Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff worked with the active mind, Zen worked with the inactive mind. Your work, I heard you say, was to help us to go beyond both active and inactive minds, to find the transcendental, that is: consciousness.
- Question 3
- When we do gibberish, followed by silence, are we experiencing the active, then the inactive mind? And is it possible that we can experience the transcendental during the let-go? Can one have moments of consciousness before being totally and irrevocably conscious?
