The beat.
(DRUMBEAT)
Everybody relaxes into death.
Let the body breathe, don't bother.
You don't have to stop breathing.
You have to stop being out;
be in.
And take the quantum leap
from mind into no-mind.
Feel the silent fragrance within.
This moment is a divine moment.
This moment you are a buddha.
Pin down your consciousness to this moment. No head, no heart but just pure consciousness.
Rupesh...
(DRUMBEAT)
You can come back to life,
to new life,
with new light,
with new joy,
with new eyes to see,
with new senses to feel,
with new intelligence to understand.
Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Osho.
Can we celebrate now?
YES!

OBAKU ROARED LIKE A TIGER. HYAKUJO LIFTED UP HIS AXE AND MADE AS IF TO CHOP HIM DOWN. OBAKU GAVE HYAKUJO A SLAP.
HYAKUJO SANG OUT AND LAUGHED, AND WENT BACK TO HIS SEAT. TO THE MONKS HE SAID, "AT THE FOOT OF MOUNT DAIYU THERE IS A TIGER WHICH YOU POSITIVELY MUST SEE. YOUR OLD HYAKUJO HAS JUST HAD A WORD WITH HIM."
ON ANOTHER OCCASION, IT WAS SNOWING, AND THE MONK IN CHARGE ASKED HYAKUJO TO GIVE A SERMON.
HYAKUJO SAID, "FALLING IN FLAKES, THE COLOR SCHEME AND PATTERN ARE COMPLETE. WHY MUST I GO TO THE HALL AND PREACH?"
Life has never been taken with such ecstasy, joy and bliss as Zen has done. The common religions of the world, Hinduism or Christianity, Mohammedanism or Jainism, are all too serious. And their
