Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho's Haikus - Oshorajneesh.com

CHAPTER 5. DON’T BE IDIOT BUDDHASVery few people have reached to their own center, even in millions of lives. Hence I say you arefortunate.This evening is blessed.This place is holy. Where ten thousand buddhas are just melting in their consciousness into eachother – it has become a lake of consciousness, without any ripples.Gather as much life juice, collect all the wild flowers, before you return back.Slowly, slowly your circumference and center will come closer. And one day, suddenly, thecircumference will disappear and only the center will remain. That will be your realization of thebuddha. One step more beyond that, and your center also disappears.This nothingness beyond the center is not empty, it is the greatest benediction; it makes you thewhole universe.Nivedano...(Drumbeat)Come back, all the buddhas, carrying as much experience. Sit down, and recollect the space youhave been in.Every day, inch by inch, you have to grow into a buddha.Okay, Maneesha?Yes, Osho.Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas?Yes, Osho!Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 88 Osho
