Osho Video - Bodhidharma - The Greatest Zen Master 08 - Everybody has the right to be wrong

BELOVED OSHO,
AMONG SHAKYAMUNI'S TEN GREATEST DISCIPLES, ANANDA WAS
FOREMOST IN LEARNING. BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW THE BUDDHA. ALL HE
DID WAS STUDY AND MEMORIZE. ARHATS DON'T KNOW THE BUDDHA.
ALL THEY KNOW ARE SO MANY PRACTICES FOR REALIZATION, AND
THEY BECOME TRAPPED BY CAUSE AND EFFECT. SUCH IS A MORTAL'S
KARMA: NO ESCAPE FROM BIRTH AND DEATH. BY DOING THE
OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE INTENDED, SUCH PEOPLE BLASPHEME THE
BUDDHA. KILLING THEM WOULD NOT BE WRONG. THE SUTRAS SAY,
"SINCE ICCHANTIKAS ARE INCAPABLE OF BELIEF, KILLING THEM
WOULD BE BLAMELESS, WHILE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE REACH THE
STATE OF BUDDHAHOOD." ...PEOPLE WHO SEE THAT THEIR MINDS
ARE THE BUDDHA DON'T NEED TO SHAVE THEIR HEADS. LAYMEN ARE
BUDDHAS TOO. UNLESS THEY SEE THEIR NATURE, PEOPLE WHO SHAVE
THEIR HEADS ARE SIMPLY FANATICS.
BUT SINCE MARRIED LAYMEN DON'T GIVE UP SEX, HOW CAN THEY
BECOME BUDDHAS?
I ONLY TALK ABOUT SEEING YOUR NATURE. I DON'T TALK ABOUT SEX
SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE YOUR NATURE. ONCE YOU SEE YOUR
NATURE, SEX IS BASICALLY IMMATERIAL. IT ENDS ALONG WITH YOUR
DELIGHT IN IT. EVEN IF SOME HABITS REMAIN, THEY CAN'T HARM YOU.
BECAUSE YOUR NATURE IS ESSENTIALLY PURE. DESPITE DWELLING IN
A MATERIAL BODY OF FIVE AGGREGATES, YOUR NATURE IS BASICALLY
PURE. IT CAN'T BE CORRUPTED. ...ONCE YOU STOP CLINGING AND
LET THINGS BE, YOU'LL BE FREE, EVEN OF BIRTH AND DEATH. YOU'LL
TRANSFORM EVERYTHING. YOU'LL POSSESS SPIRITUAL POWERS THAT
CAN'T BE OBSTRUCTED. AND YOU'LL BE AT PEACE WHEREVER YOU
ARE. IF YOU DOUBT THIS, YOU'LL NEVER SEE THROUGH ANYTHING.
YOU'RE BETTER OFF DOING NOTHING. ONCE YOU ACT, YOU CAN'T
AVOID THE CYCLE OF BIRTH AND DEATH. BUT ONCE YOU SEE YOUR
NATURE, YOU'RE A BUDDHA, EVEN IF YOU WORK AS A BUTCHER.
BUT BUTCHERS CREATE KARMA BY SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS. HOW
CAN THEY BE BUDDHAS?
I ONLY TALK ABOUT SEEING YOUR NATURE. I DON'T TALK ABOUT
CREATING KARMA. REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DO, OUR KARMA HAS
NO HOLD ON US. ...IN INDIA, THE TWENTY-SEVEN PATRIARCHS ONLY
TRANSMITTED THE IMPRINT OF THE MIND. AND THE ONLY REASON
I'VE COME TO CHINA IS TO TRANSMIT THE INSTANTANEOUS
TEACHING OF THE MAHAYANA: THIS MIND IS THE BUDDHA. I DON'T
TALK ABOUT PRECEPTS, DEVOTIONS OR ASCETIC PRACTICES ....
LANGUAGE AND BEHAVIOR, PERCEPTION AND CONCEPTION ARE ALL
FUNCTIONS OF THE MOVING MIND. ALL MOTION IS THE MIND'S
MOTION .... THE MIND NEITHER MOVES NOR FUNCTIONS. BECAUSE THE
ESSENCE OF ITS FUNCTIONS IS EMPTINESS. AND EMPTINESS IS
ESSENTIALLY MOTIONLESS.
HENCE, THE SUTRAS TELL US TO MOVE WITHOUT MOVING, TO TRAVEL
WITHOUT TRAVELING, TO SEE WITHOUT SEEING, TO LAUGH WITHOUT
LAUGHING, TO HEAR WITHOUT HEARING, TO KNOW WITHOUT
KNOWING, TO BE HAPPY WITHOUT BEING HAPPY, TO WALK WITHOUT
WALKING, TO STAND WITHOUT STANDING. AND THE SUTRAS SAY, "GO
BEYOND LANGUAGE. GO BEYOND THOUGHT." ...I COULD GO ON, BUT
THIS BRIEF SERMON WILL HAVE TO DO
