CHAPTER 5Don’t be idiot buddhas30 September 1988 pm in Gautam the Buddha AuditoriumBELOVED OSHO,ONCE, HYAKUJO WAS OUT IN THE FIELDS WORKING ALONGSIDE HIS DISCIPLES. JUSTAS A CERTAIN MONK LIFTED UP HIS HOE, THE SOUND OF THE DINNER DRUM COULD BEHEARD.WITH THIS, THE MONK LAUGHED LOUDLY, DROPPED HIS HOE AND WENT TO THE TEMPLE.”WONDERFUL!” EXCLAIMED HYAKUJO. ”THIS IS THE GATE TO THE ENTERING OF THEBODHISATTVA KANNON.”HYAKUJO FOLLOWED AFTER THE MONK, AND ARRIVING AT THE TEMPLE, ASKED THEMONK, ”WHAT TRUTH DID YOU PERCEIVE WHEN YOU HEARD THE DINNER DRUM?”THE MONK SAID, ”JUST NOW I WAS TERRIBLY HUNGRY, AND WHEN I HEARD THE SOUNDOF THE DRUM, I WENT BACK AND HAD MY MEAL.”ON HEARING THIS, HYAKUJO HIMSELF LAUGHED.ON ANOTHER OCCASION, ISAN, HEARING THE WOODEN GONG SOUNDING, RUBBED HISHANDS AND GAVE A GREAT LAUGH.WHEN HYAKUJO SAW AND HEARD THIS, HE ASKED ISAN THE SAME QUESTION AS HE HADASKED THE OTHER MONK IN A SIMILAR SITUATION, AND RECEIVED A SIMILAR RESPONSE.74
CHAPTER 5. DON’T BE IDIOT BUDDHASAT ANOTHER TIME, A MASTER OF THE VINAYA SECT NAMED FA MING REMARKED, ”YOUZEN MASTERS DO A LOT OF TUMBLING ABOUT IN THE EMPTINESS OF THE VOID.”HYAKUJO REPLIED, ”ON THE CONTRARY, VENERABLE SIR, IT IS YOU WHO TUMBLE A LOTIN THE EMPTINESS OF THE VOID.”THE VINAYA MASTER ASKED, ”HOW CAN THAT BE?””THE SCRIPTURES,” CONTINUED HYAKUJO, ”ARE JUST WORDS – MERE INK AND PAPER –AND EVERYTHING OF THAT SORT IS JUST AN EMPTY DEVICE. ALL THOSE WORDS ANDPHRASES ARE BASED ON SOMETHING PEOPLE ONCE HEARD – THEY ARE NOTHING BUTEMPTINESS. YOU, VENERABLE SIR, CLING TO THE MERE LETTER OF THE DOCTRINE, SOOF COURSE YOU TUMBLE ABOUT IN THE VOID.””AND DO YOU ZEN MASTERS NOT TUMBLE IN THE VOID?” ASKED THE VINAYA MASTER.HYAKUJO SAID, ”WE DO NOT.”THE VINAYA MASTER RESPONDED ”HOW NOT?”AT THIS, HYAKUJO SAID, ”ALL THOSE WRITINGS ARE THE PRODUCTS OF WISDOM, ANDWHERE WISDOM’S MIGHTY FUNCTION OPERATES, HOW CAN THERE BE TUMBLING ABOUTIN THE VOID?”Maneesha, before I introduce Hyakujo’s sutras, and their meaning to me, I have to make you allunderstand that you must act intelligently.Just the other day, because I told Hasya not to unnecessarily struggle with dropping cigarettes –her whole life she has been smoking – many others who had already dropped, they immediatelyjumped! And many who had never smoked, they started smoking, perhaps thinking that this is adevice towards buddhahood.You are all buddhas, but don’t be idiot buddhas.Today the whole place is full of tobacco smell. I don’t want this place to be filled with tobacco smell.It has been so clean, and if you, many of you start smoking, you will bring the smell here. Sothose who have never smoked, simply stop. Those who have stopped and already were out of thewithdrawal symptoms, should not start again.It was specially meant for Hasya and Chitten, who have been going through withdrawal symptoms.When I entered yesterday and looked at Chitten, he was looking so sad, so dead. I wondered whatwas the matter, because I was not aware that he was also following Hasya. And when I said thatHasya can smoke, and there is no need to be worried... What does it matter if you live two yearslonger, or two years lesser? You will never know the difference. Nobody will know the difference,that Hasya lived two years less.So except Chitten and Hasya, everybody has to come back. Use your own intelligence.Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 75 Osho
