Yakusan: Straight to the Point of Enlightenment

“A tidal wave arises in the ocean – from where is it coming? And soon it disperses back in the ocean. The source of your coming and the source of your going are absolutely the same.” Yakusan experienced his awakening with the master Sekito and later “When so many people became enlightened under Yakusan the whole mountain where he was collecting all these seekers must have become a paradise. So many enlightened people…the whole mountain must have been rejoicing and dancing.” In this series of talks Osho uses small anecdotes about the Zen masters to gently take us on the search for the inner buddha. “My concern is somehow to bring you to an awakening.” Osho says: “My effort is so totally different and diametrically opposite to all the founders of religions that there is no way to compare me with anybody. I am a majority of a single individual and I want all of you to be a majority of single individuals. “You are enough unto yourself. You don’t need anything. You need only a deep inner search.”
