great grace and abundance of life, great benediction you can shower all over the world. But this is only the beginning -- buddha as a shadow. Soon, buddha will be ahead of you, and you will become the shadow. That is the second step.
And the third step... you merge into the buddha; even the shadow disappears, only buddha is, only pure awareness is.
You have entered into the cosmic womb.
Nivedano...
Come back, but come as a buddha, with the same grace, with the same silence, with the same bliss.
Sit down for a few moments just to recollect the golden path that you have followed.
And feel -- the presence of buddha is just behind you.
Remember -- in every activity, howsoever ordinary, the buddha is present behind you. His presence transforms every ordinary action into an extraordinary act. Every word becomes so rich and so full of poetry, so full of truth, so full of silence. Every silence is as deep as the Pacific Ocean. Every moment in your life you are just moving upward in consciousness, as if you are moving on the greatest peak of the Himalayas, the Everest.
I teach you this Fire of Zen.
I teach you this Wind of Zen.
That is going to burn everything that is wrong, that is going to take away everything that is wrong in you and leave only the truth, the ultimate truth.
That ultimate truth brings freedom.
This is the only spirituality,
the only religion.
It is individual -- it has nothing to do with any church, with any organized religion. It has nothing to do with any scripture. It has to do only with your inner search and finding your authentic nature -- what Zen people call "the original face."
The buddha is your original face.
