5)OSHO最期のZENシリーズ、入手するのに最後まで困難だったのは、このI celebrate myself: God is no where--life is now here OSHOであった。本文そのものは、ネット時代の今、簡単に読むことは出来るが 、やはり本としても手元に欲しい。そうしてようやく見つけたのが 、配本先の在庫最後の一冊だった。しかも正価のまま。早速依頼したのだった。
January 1987: He returns to the ashram in Pune, India, which is renamed Rajneeshdham.
July 1988: Osho begins, for the first time in 14 years, to personally lead the meditation at the end of each evening’s discourse. He also introduces a revolutionary new meditation technique called The Mystic Rose.
January-February 1989: He stops using the name “Bhagwan,” retaining only the name Rajneesh. However, His disciples ask to call Him ‘Osho’ and He accepts this form of address. Osho explains that His name is derived from William James’ word ‘oceanic’ which means dissolving into the ocean. Oceanic describes the experience, He says, but what about the experiencer?For that we use the word ‘Osho.’ At the same time, He came to find out that ‘Osho’ has also been used historically in the Far East, meaning “The Blessed One, on Whom the Sky Showers Flowers.”
YAKUSAN HAD NOT GIVEN A DISCOURSE FOR SOME TIME WHEN, ONE DAY, THE HEAD MONK CAME AND SAID, "THE CONGREGATION OF MONKS ARE THINKING ABOUT YOUR PREACHING A SERMON."
YAKUSAN SAID, "RING THE BELL!"
THE SUPERIOR BANGED AWAY AT THE BELL, BUT WHEN ALL THE MONKS GATHERED, YAKUSAN WENT BACK TO HIS ROOM. THE HEAD MONK FOLLOWED HIM AND SAID, "THE MASTER WAS GOING TO GIVE A TALK, AND THE MONKS ARE ALL READY; WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING TO THEM?"
YAKUSAN SAID, "THERE ARE SUTRA PRIESTS FOR THE SUTRAS, SHASTRA PRIESTS FOR THE SHASTRAS; WHY DO YOU QUESTION MY GOINGS-ON?" p46 ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 1)どこぞの語録か問答集にこの箇所がないか探したが、すぐにはでてこないので、ネットでの自動翻訳を貼り付けておく ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
3)当ブログにおいては、OSHO-ZENは規定路線である。これ以上外れようがない。ここが突破口ではあるが、これではもひとつ物足らない。ENLIGHTMENTが足らない。そもそも日本文化のよくも悪くも影響下にある当ブログとしては、悟るとか覚醒する、あるいは仏になるなどという言葉は、極めて重要なタブーに属する言語で、一般的には軽々しく使ってはならない言語だとされている。されど、今回はそれでいかんだろう。Straight to the Point of Enlightenment、のような強いメッセージが必要となろう。
Kyozan was a very simple man - not the philosophic kind, not a poet, nor a sculptor. Nothing can be said about him except that he was absolutely authentic, honest. If he does not know a thing he will say so, even at the risk of people thinking that he has fallen from his enlightenment. But this makes him a unique master.
Zen is full of unique masters, but Kyozan's uniqueness is his simplicity. He is just like a child. It took Isan, his master, forty years of hard work to make Kyozan enlightened. He was determined, and he said he would not leave the body until Kyozan became enlightened - though he was old enough.
Kyozan did everything that Isan said, but nothing penetrated to his very being. He was a very ordinary man. Heaven and hell, God and the beyond had never worried him. He was not a seeker in the sense every seeker is - a seeker of truth.
No, he was not seeking truth, because he is reported to have said that, "If you are seeking the truth you have certainly accepted that truth exists, and I will not accept anything on belief. So I am just seeking, searching in all directions, trying to come in tune with the universe. It may be just my fallacy, my fantasy, but I want to go without any prejudice."
Even the prejudice may prove right, but when a prejudice proves right, you will never know the truth.
You will go on projecting your prejudice. And you can create a whole paraphernalia of prejudices, a system of beliefs - rational, logical, appealing, presentable - but if belief is the base stone on which you are creating the whole palace, you are working unnecessarily hard.
Nobody can come to know the truth by any preconceived idea. His preconceived idea will give a certain shape, a certain color to the experience. The experience will not be pure. It will be as polluted as Poona's air!
But Isan, it seems, took it as a challenge: if an ordinary man like Kyozan cannot be transformed into a buddha, how can you allow others to trust in the existence of the buddha?
All the religions have done just the contrary. Krishna is God's incarnation, so is Rama, so is Parasurama. They have made them sit on such a high pedestal that you can only worship, you can only pray; you cannot conceive that you yourself can also experience what these people on the heights are experiencing.
And the creation of hierarchies makes it difficult for almost anyone to be unprejudiced. When the child is born, we have good intentions, but good intentions do not mean that they are going to lead you to the truth. Everybody is burdened with good intentions - with Shrimad Bhagavadgita, with the Holy Koran, with the Holy Bible. Continuously repeating anything, slowly slowly it becomes a truth to you. And for centuries these religions have been repeating.
Isan chose Kyozan to be his successor. It took forty years of tremendous work on him, because he was a simple man, and in the first place he was not in search of truth. Just think of some man who is not in search of truth, and you go on knocking on his door every day.
Look at the Witnesses of Jehovah! Whether you want to listen to them or not - that is immaterial - you have to listen, you have to confess. And now Pope the Polack has made it a sin... He is a discoverer of a new sin - all old sinners who are dead must be tossing and turning in their graves that they missed - he has declared that to confess to God directly is a sin; you should go through the right channel. You should go to the priest, confess to him, receive the punishment, and the priest will take care of you, so that on the Judgment Day when God opens all the graves, the priest will be a witness that, "This fellow is good; as punishment he has given five dollars to you."
But God is going to be in a difficulty, particularly in India. Most of the population believe in fire and burn the dead body. When he opens the Hindu graves, he himself may freak out - just skeletons, and not even a passport! But I always think how you will look, something similar to the photo that you are carrying in your passport but without the skin.
And I cannot conceive that the judgment is going to be over in one day. In the millions of years, trillions of people have lived on the earth. Some researcher has calculated that, wherever you are sitting, you are sitting on ten dead men's skeletons. Don't be afraid, they are very good people! And remember also that the judgment is not only for men. Women will also be there. And women will be chattering so much: "What is the news? Who are the new arrivals?"
I don't think God will be able to manage, and perhaps that is the reason Jesus says, "The Judgment Day is coming soon - in your life," but it has not even come up to now, though two thousand years have passed. I can say to you the judgment will never come, because it is not feasible.
And there will be on Judgment Day a tremendous bloodless fight amongst the skeletons; because one man has been a husband in his hundreds of lives to hundreds of women, one woman has been a wife to hundreds of men in her past lives. And everybody will be pulling at each other. Somebody is pulling at your leg, "Where are you going?" The whole world will be such a mess that I say unto you definitively that the idea of judgment has been postponed forever.
Choosing Kyozan as his successor, and waiting for forty years - what patience! - almost transforming a stone into a diamond. But Isan was determined to make one point absolutely clear to humanity: if Kyozan, a simple and ordinary person, not belonging to any speciality, any category, without any talent, any genius - if he can become enlightened, it will be a proof. To give this proof to humanity he chose Kyozan and worked hard on him. And the day Kyozan became enlightened, the day Isan transferred his enlightenment and the two flames became one, Isan disappeared from the world of matter, body, mind.
Kyozan was so radiant now. He was not only once enlightened, he was twice enlightened. His master has given him richer experiences, far deeper spaces, far clearer skies. P3
Ole from German OTI talked to Niskriya (aka Stonehead Niskriya) – famous ‘First German Zen Master’, about his relationship with Osho and his gratitudes in life.
Niskriya, 2019
How did you come to Osho?
It must have been 1978 – I was reading an article about Osho which made me very curious. Especially this free sex sounded very tempting! Since then I wanted to go to Poona. But it still took until 1982 for it to become concrete for me. The trigger was Satyananda’s book,Ganz entspannt im Hier und Jetzt (The Cosmic Madhouse). I was especially touched by the passages from Osho. When I finished it, I immediately called the ‘Bhagwans’ at Vihan, the Berlin Center – I remember it was a Sunday, and yet someone answered the phone – and I asked if I could buy a book. They only hadCome Follow Me[new title:Come Follow to You] – a book about Jesus. They had 13 copies. I bought them all.
All 13 copies?
Yes! I was absolutely sure that I had found just the right thing for my mother and a few friends who were also interested in Jesus. But I was very much mistaken. I really could not understand that the book left them cold. Never before had I read anything so fantastic about Jesus. And it was poetic too – even in German. This lack of understanding in society has always been a mystery to me. Even the journalists didn’t want to understand.
Later I was determined to make a film about Osho because the sannyasins looked pretty stupid in the public eye. From their parents came mainly insults or lack of understanding: “How can you chase after such a charlatan!” or “Why did you join this sect?” Some young people were even disinherited. So I wanted to make a film that they could give to their parents as a gift, as a kind of explanation.
And did you make this film?
Yes, but it all turned out very differently than I had imagined. In this process I was allowed to come to the conviction that everything is right as it IS – even if I think it is wrong or unfair. I believe in an all-encompassing, existential intelligence. I feel constantly challenged to trust this intelligence. The many coincidences in my life help me in this respect.
Give me an example…
A very remarkable coincidence happened on December 25, 1991, the day of the Soviet President’s farewell speech on TV. On this very day the third part of my film,Freedom Is Your Nature, was being broadcast. In it Osho says: “Comrade Gorbachev, it is a mistake to introduce capitalism in your country. Rather, you should introduce meditation!” This personal address to Gorbachev happened to be running across the screen on the very day of his resignation!
As a writer and producer I had offered the four-and-a-half-hour three-part film to Soviet TV. It was broadcast at prime time from 23 to 25 December 1991. Those were the last three days of the Soviet Union.
This happened thanks to this big coincidence: The programme director, in order to decide if he wanted to purchase the broadcasting rights, took a VHS copy home. Because his wife was also watching it, he did not stop the cassette during a toilet break. Much later, after a repeat broadcast in 1992, he told me that while he was away, Osho had raised his voice and become quite loud!, and because of that he would not have bought the film. An enlightened one never raises his voice – as if Osho was not enlightened! Admittedly, he didn’t stick to this view, but without the lucky coincidence of a pee break at the right moment, the film would have escaped the Russian audience, and there would be significantly fewer Russian sannyasins today.
Unfortunately, I have not kept a ‘coincidence diary’. That would have been so interesting! The thing is: many coincidences are so mysterious that you can hardly believe it. But the most beautiful and momentous series of coincidences led me to Osho and made me ‘his’ cameraman overnight.
Probably there are also coincidences that you don’t even register as such at the very moment. But you should! Because I think coincidence is playful – it wants to be noticed and appreciated! A divine existential force that keeps telling me: “Look how little you really understand.” For me the whole spirituality – or the search for God, or whatever you want to call it – is not knowable.
When I use the word God I mean ‘the unknowable’. Not the unknown, but the unknowable! This is not exciting, but tremendously relaxing. Because, if something is unknowable I don’t have to try to understand it.
Do you get recognition in sannyas circles for having recorded so many of Osho’s discourses?
Yes, I do. These dialogues often go like this:
“Niskriya, we owe you so much for what you have done. Thank you!”
“If I hadn’t done it, someone else would have.”
“Yes, but not as nicely.”
And there may be something to that. The awareness for quality among the sannyasins was not always very pronounced.
And this is how I became Osho’s cameraman:
I had just cobbled together a 3D camera and was thrilled when I saw the first shoots I had taken with it in Berlin’s Grunewald. Then I pondered about what I would like to film with this technology – and quickly came up with: Osho!
So, my girlfriend, Lokita, and I went to Kathmandu. We knocked at a door on the third floor of the Oberoi Hotel where we suspected the team was to be found. The door opened and we looked into the grim faces of Osho’s closest circle. We were disturbing, and were turned away; we were supposed to come back tomorrow.
I then hurriedly pulled out my camera: “Just wanted to ask…” Suddenly the faces lit up and everybody said: “Come in!” The reason for their bad mood was a problem they had with the cameraman. The pictures were out of focus and the sound was bad. Osho was “not amused” about it and had said that if it wouldn’t work he would stop talking.
The next morning I sat one metre in front of him and filmed in 3D. I was totally happy; I stayed on and filmed about 1000 discourses from then until Osho stopped speaking .
Niskriya with Sekito
What kind of relationship developed between you and Osho?
My feeling was that Osho was amused by me and my perfectionism. He mentioned me very often in his lectures and made fun of me. He called me Stonehead Niskriya, the First German Zenmaster. This is also the reason why I’ve been shaving my head ever since. At the time I had a buzz cut, which apparently was not short enough. Osho said, “Off with it.” Then the next morning: “Very good, Niskriya. But the beard has to go too.” Osho ‘styled’ me, so to speak. Later I stood in front of the mirror and asked myself, “Why didn’t I think of it myself? This is much better – this bald head really suits me.”
Osho was unbelievably sensitive and noticed how tense I often was. For example in Uruguay: I could not buy a good microphone and suffered extremely because of the poor quality of the audio. I was annoyed about the long wait for a good microphone from Germany, promised but not coming, and this disturbed my joy in listening. Osho knew that I had a passion for archiving his words in the best possible quality, for in his legacy I saw the hope for the world – and I really considered him the most dangerous man on the globe.
Ronald Reagan and his German advisor Ratzinger, the later Pope, saw in him a danger that had to be stopped at all costs! Osho’s potential to help all people worldwide to a loving, intelligent life was a massive threat to established religions, criminals and environmental sinners. But hardly anyone took Osho’s potential seriously. So his words never got the attention they deserved.
It doesn’t just concern me – it is THE great human problem. We all know what threatens us! And yet we are sawing off the branch on which we are sitting. Insight and action are in stark contrast with each other. The supposedly most intelligent being on earth is acting dumber than any donkey. If that isn’t absurd? I once heard him say, if man perishes, nothing much is lost. Would that really be a ‘tragedy’ that would kill his gratitude to existence? Not for Osho, I guess. He was too surrendered to what IS.
Why did he keep joking with me in discourse? Hypothesis: The absurdity I saw in myself, Osho saw also.
Especially during the hypnosis stage, as I call it, in which everyone fell back flat but me and I stood out from the stretched-out mass of 1000 Buddhas. I was a crouching image of normal madness behind a tripod… I think it amused him.
In 1986-1987, Osho travelled across the world, because no country would accept him. Did you always accompany him?
Mostly – I took only a few short trips to Germany. When Osho arrived in Uruguay, I was just then doing a group with Rajen in Hamburg. There was a lot of sex and I really enjoyed it. At the best moment of the group I got a call: “Niskriya, you have to come to Uruguay, to film Osho!”
At first I was far from grateful, but then I was happy to leave and bought new equipment because new video technology had just come out. (And he only started talking after I arrived… ) Whether Jamaica, Portugal, Crete or Bombay – the equipment always travelled with me. For Poona I bought, together with Raiyaj, truly professional equipment. That was a real adventure. Because the Betacams carried a 300% import tax in India, we camouflaged everything as flight recorders and – thanks to Pradipo! – transported it all in a single-engined Cessna. It was totally overloaded, but with a lot of luck it made the flight to India.
What does your sannyas name mean?
Shunyam Niskriya was translated as ‘If you are not, God is’. But in Sanskrit it means ’emptiness’ and ‘doing nothing’. It was a shock when I heard that – because ultimately I’m lazy. Nobody feels that about me – but I do. It’s my nature. Just as I have the feeling of being completely empty in my head. Not in the positive sense of ‘God can flow in’, but in the sense of missing, forgetting and getting lost. It has always been so.
When I was 16, I made a documentary about my banking apprenticeship. Title:Leerling(Apprenticeship) – so even then I felt like a hollow head. (In German there is a play on words. Apprenticeship would need to be spelt with an ‘h’{Lehring}as it refers to ‘lehren‘, learning, but he writes it with two ‘ee’s as a hint to emptiness, ‘Leere‘.)
Is there anything that happened this year for which you are grateful?
Oh yes – again and again! I recently had an accident with my bicycle. The front wheel blocked while I was accelerating to make it through the next green traffic light. Someone told me later they had seen a branch caught in my spokes. I only remember the view of the tire as I flew over the handlebars. Then everything went black.
That nothing happened to me is a real miracle. I hit the asphalt with my head full force without a helmet. My glasses were broken. Except scratches on my knees and one eye nothing happened. I literally got off with a black eye. Then I realized again how quickly everything can end.
A sense of guardian angels runs through my whole life. When I regained consciousness after the accident, my first feeling was one of great gratitude for the mild course of events. I should apologize to the guardian angels for needing them too often.
Would you describe yourself as religious?
Not with a God up there. But to live gratefully as awake as possible, trusting in the guidance from within.
Gratitude makes you happy.
The doctor recently told me I have polyneuropathy – the communication between nerves and muscles is impaired. I can no longer feel my feet properly and my walk is slightly unsteady. This can cause a lot of pain. So far I have been spared from that, so every day is a good reason for happiness.
I could complain now: “Shit! I was neither a drunk nor a diabetic and still have PNP.” No! Acceptance is better. Only by being relaxed can you be open to pleasure, creativity and growth.

4)そして1989/02/27には、OSHO、と呼ばれることになる。それは、日本においてつかわれ、また慧可によって達磨が呼ばれた言葉だとされる。Oは尊敬であり、SHOは大きな意識、程度の意味であろうか? それは、89/02/20 89/04/10 The Zen Manifesto: Freedom From Oneself 「禅宣言」 の期間に含まれていることになる。
I am neither a savior nor a prophet. I am simply a man amongst you. I am not talking to you from a high peak, from the point of view that I know and you don't know. I am talking to you man to man. All that I am saying to you is that there was a time when I was asleep, just as you are asleep, and there is nothing wrong in it. It is perfectly okay with existenceーyou can sleep for eternity;but it is not good for you. What you are seeing in your sleep is only dreams, hallucinations. If you want to know the reality and its beauty you have to wake up. And only you can do it,nobody can help you in any way. I can go on shouting till my last breath. That will not help unless you are ready to hear and be recep- tive. And even if you hear, you are receptive, then too you have to walk the path from the circumfer- ence of your life to the center of your being. Nobody can do it on your behalf.(fornt flap)
I teach the individual. Jesus tries to convince the masses; I don't care about the masses at all. Religion is the greatest creative art, in which you create yourself again. You become the womb and you give birth from the mother's womb is only once more. The birth from the mother's womb is only physical. You have to give yourself a birth which is going to bring your spirituality with all its flowers, with all its mysteries, with all its roses, with all its freedom, its truth, its beauty, its godliness. But you have to do it! (back flap)
Communism and Zen fire. zen wind.<1> Osho (著), 1989/07 出版社 : Osho Intl 言語 : 英語 ハードカバー No.4467★★★★★ Osho最後のZENシリーズ目次
Communism is one of the greatest experiments in human evolution.It has laid the foundation of a new temple for humanity.But it has only laid the foundation ; the pillars are missing the roof is missing. That can be done only by people who are fully awakened, people whom I am calling the buddhas - not Buddhists. Buddhists are as superstitious as any other organized religion. But the awakened people should be invited from all over the world .There are a few people still,in the same space as Gautam Buddha. They should be invited to teach meditation in the universities,to teach meditation in the colleges,to teach meditation to the public - and meditation has nothing against communism. Meditation will use communism as the base, and will put the pillars and the roof on the base.(front flap)
You can give equal opportunity for growth, but thee growth will bring unequal persons. Somebody will become a scientist and somebody will become a shoemaker;somebody will become a great novelist like Tolstoy, or turgenev, or Gorky, ana somebody may become just a flutist. Everybody needs equal opportunity to grow unequal! But as far as spirituarity is cocerned, everybody can be equqlly a buddha. That is true communism - deeper, higher, more authentic. And if we can create a situation, an education for people to understand their inner being, they will come out of it ith great compassion, with love for every being. They will have a tremendous reverence fot life. They cannot exploit. In fact, spiritual communism should be first; only then can the economic communism follow it as a shadow. (back flap)
I am talking about Zen simpiy to make the point that all religious are now out of date. Zen has no clingings with the past. It is not a by-products of the past, but rather an opening towards the future. I am not unnecessarily wasting my time and your time. It is not just by chance that I have chosen to speak on Zen. We have come to a point of departure from the society in which we have lived, a moment of tremendous departure for consciousness.
Look inwards, as deep as possible. It is your own space. At th very end you will find the empty heart.(front flap)
The empty heart is a door to eternity. It is a connection between you and existence. It is not something physical or material. It is not something mental or psychological. It is something beyond both, transcendiing both. It is your spirituality. Remenber,the empty heart makes you a buddha.(back flap)
Zen has nothing to give to you, but has something to take away- your personality, your mask, your false identities. Zen has to rip you away, so that only the existence, pure existence, remains unpolluted in you. Zen does not bother about philosophizing. Its concern is existencing, its concern is existential. That's why I hope called it "the language of existence." (front flap)
The Zen master, or buddha, does not speak, he only allows existence to sing its song. The buddha is just a flute, a bamboo with holes. Existence can sing any song that it wants; the flute does not interfere. The flute allows existence to commune with those who are capable of listening to the music that is flowing through it.(back flap)
I watted to move around the world for the remainder of my life, but every country believes that I am a dangerous man. I will not say that they are wrong - I am a dangerous man. But it does not motter whether i go anywhere or not, I can remain here in my room, and those who have the potential of becoming buddhas will reach me from every nook and corner of the world. They will carry the fire around the world, spreading it.
This time is a very ripe time. Either the buddhas are going to win or the ugly politicians are going to destroy the whole earth, the whole of life.(front flap)
The whole contribution of all the poets, painters, sculptors, dancers,mystics, they are ready to destroy at any moment. Only one thing can prevent them from destroying the world; making the whole of life a celebration, a continuous ongoing festival.(back flap)
It is very strange that just by silently sitting, watching your thoughts moving here and there as if they do not belong to you- you don't have to do anything about them, not even make a judgment- just sitting silently not doing anything and door open.
Your ultimate reality is not something to be sought in the outside world; it is hidden in the seeker himself.
The moment you start locking for it here and there, you are going for away, for away from yourself. There is no need to go anywhere. just sit down,settle down.(front flap)
The mind is just like dust in water. If you are paitent enough, the dust will setlle and the crystal-clear woter will be there reflecting the full moon.(back flap)
Have you ever seen night going? Very few people even become aware of things which are happening every day. Have you ever seen the evening coming? The midnight and its song? The sunrise and its beauty? We are behaving almost like blind people. In such a beautiful world we are living in small ponds of our own misery. It is familiar, so even if somebody wants to pull you out, you struggle. You don't want to be pulled out of your misery, of your suffering. Otherwise there is so much joy all around, you have just to be aware of it and to become a participant, not a spectator. (front flap)
Philosophy is speculation, Zen in participation. Participate in the night leaving, participate in the stars and participate in the clouds; make participation your lifestyle and the whole existence become such a joy, such an ecstasy. You could not have dreamt of a better universe.(back flap)
1)I Celebrate Myself: God Is No Where, Life Is Now HereはOSHO最晩年の一冊である。I Celebrate Myselfなんて、いかにもOSHOらしいポエジーだなぁ、と思っていたが、実は、この単語で検索すると、いくつかの別人の作品などがヒットする。少なくとも二つ。
2)ひとつはウォルト・ホイットマン。
Song of Myself, 1 [I Celebrate myself] Walt Whitman - 1819-1892
I Celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death.
Creeds and schools in abeyance, Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten, I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy.
Rinzai would shout at his disciples to give them a first experience of their centering. You are both a circumference and a center. You live on the circumference; the shout simply pushes you to the center.
Once you experience being at the center you suddenly see the whole world changing. Your eyes are no more the same.....back flap
4)そしてさらに思う。邦訳本の翻訳者であるモンジュ氏は、OSHOの姿勢を「89/02/13 I Celebrate Myself: God Is No Where, Life Is Now Here」から引用している。この本はOSHOの「禅宣言」の直前の一冊である。つまり、OSHO晩年の最後から二冊目に位置する重要な一冊である。
5)実はこの「 I Celebrate Myself」、今回の当ブログの最後の禅シリーズにおけるミッシングリンクの最後の一冊になっているのだ。ちょっと価格が高止まりしている。諦めかけていたが、やっぱり入手するのが、道かな。
1)At the time of MaTzu, there was another great Zen master in China; his name was Sekito.
You are perfectly well acquainted with Sekito; he is reborn here.
Sekito means stonehead, and this time he is born as Swami Niskriya; I call him Sekito, stonehead.
And I had to send himi back to Germany, just for a few weeks, because only stoneheads can hit against other stoneheads in Germany, you cannot send anybody else.
So he goes, and hits his head against other heads for a few days.
When he gets tired of enlightening other people, he comes back to rest.
Right now he is in Germany. p111 MA TZU, the Empty Mirror to the sorce
