CHAPTER 7The last milestone2 October 1988 pm in Gautam the Buddha AuditoriumHYAKUJO: THE EVEREST OF ZEN, WITH BASHO’S HAIKUS Discourse 7 Title: October, 02, 1988,PMgautam the buddha auditorium, osho commune international, poona, indiaBELOVED OSHO,ON ONE OCCASION, YUN KUANG ASKED HYAKUJO, ”MASTER, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUWILL BE REBORN?”HYAKUJO REPLIED, ”WE HAVE NOT DIED YET, SO WHAT IS THE USE OF DISCUSSING OURREBIRTHS? THAT WHICH KNOWS BIRTH IS THE UNBORN. WE CANNOT STRAY FROM BIRTHTO SPEAK OF THE UNBORN. THE PATRIARCH ONCE SAID, ‘THAT WHICH UNDERGOESBIRTH IS REALLY UNBORN.’”YUN KUANG ASKED, ”DOES THIS APPLY EVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO PERCEIVETHEIR OWN NATURE?”HYAKUJO SAID, ”YOUR NOT HAVING PERCEIVED YOUR OWN NATURE DOES NOT IMPLYTHAT YOU LACK THAT NATURE. WHY SO? BECAUSE PERCEPTION ITSELF IS THAT NATURE...”THAT WHICH CAN PRODUCE THE MYRIAD PHENOMENA OF THE UNIVERSE IS CALLED THEDHARMA NATURE, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE DHARMAKAYA.98
CHAPTER 7. THE LAST MILESTONE”THE PATRIARCH, ASVAGOSHA, DECLARED:‘IN SPEAKING OF PHENOMENA, WE REALLYREFER TO THE MINDS OF SENTIENT BEINGS, FOR, WHEN MENTAL PROCESSES OCCUR,ALL SORTS OF PHENOMENA TAKE BIRTH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEM. WHEN MENTALPROCESSES DO NOT OCCUR, PHENOMENA HAVE NOTHING IN WHICH TO ARISE – THEREARE NOT EVEN NAMES FOR THEM.’”Maneesha, these dialogues between Zen masters and their disciples almost appear to be of anotherworld. You will not hear anything alike anywhere else. They lived in a totally different dimension andthey talked about things which don’t matter to you. But to them, those things mattered the most.What matters to you, is immaterial to them, as if we belong to two different worlds. Their world is ofimmense beauty and of great blissfulness. Our world is of anxiety and anguish and angst. It is theworld of mortality. We are here only just for a few years. We don’t know from where we have come.We don’t know where we go. We don’t know even who we are.These questions have been put aside by the technological progress of science, and people’s mindshave become absolutely materialistic. They have forgotten one thing: their own consciousness.These dialogues are about your own consciousness and its inner secrets. Without experiencingthese secrets of your inner life, your life is not much of a life. It is very superficial.The deeper you go inwards, everything in your life starts getting depth – it may be love, it may becreativity, it may be singing, it may be dancing. You can dance very superficially just making themovements of the dance, but you can dance so deeply that the dancer disappears and only thedance remains. When the dance remains, then only is the essential left. All non-essentials havegone. You are also gone. You are a non-essential.Something in you is of the essential, and all these dialogues are in search of that essential – fromdifferent angles, different viewpoints. So you must remember never to get confused between yourlanguage and the language of these dialogues. It is the same language, but used by very differentpeople, by very different experiences, to be expressed.ON ONE OCCASION YUN KUANG ASKED HYAKUJO, ”MASTER, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUWILL BE REBORN?”HYAKUJO REPLIED, ”WE HAVE NOT DIED YET; SO WHAT IS THE USE OF DISCUSSING OURREBIRTHS? THAT WHICH KNOWS BIRTH IS UNBORN.”But very few people are born unconsciously, and very few people die consciously. It is a naturalarrangement of anaesthesia. Before you die your whole biology releases all that makes youabsolutely unconscious. It is the greatest surgery; nature has made a prearrangement for it. Only avery deep meditator, who has reached to samadhi will be able to avoid this poisoning, this oncomingcloud of unconsciousness. He will keep his light alive, his eyes open. Death will come and go. Thebody will be gone, the mind will be gone, but this essential awareness will enter another womb.Hyakujo is saying, ”That which knows birth is the unborn.” That one which knows the death, doesnot die. How can it die and know death at the same time?Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen, with Basho’s Haikus 99 Osho
