`Zen is the only religious phenomenon in the world, which has no doctrine, no scripture, which has no God, no belief system, no organized church. It is an individual phenomenon, just like love. You don't have a church of love. You don't have a political party for love. It is an individual freedom.’ 

‘At this moment you are the buddha.
Take care of the buddha twenty-four hours; cultivate the buddha twenty-four hours.
Not for a single moment forget to remember your buddhahood.
As your remembrance deepens, as your awareness becomes clear, as you dissolve into your witnessing, the buddha spontaneously arises - in your actions, in your words, in your silences.
He becomes your whole life, and a life of great joy, a life of blessings, a life which is pure poetry, essential music,
an eternal dance.’
Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas?  Yes, Beloved Master.

Religion is non-philosophic, anti-philosophic, and Zen is the purest form of religion. Zen is the very essence of religion. Hence it is irrational, it is absurd. If you try to understand it logically you will be bewildered. It can only be understood illogically. It has to be approached in deep sympathy and love. YOU CANNOT approach Zen through empirical, scientific, objective concepts. They all have to be dropped.
It is a heart phenomenon. You have to feel it rather than think it. You have to BE it to know it. Being is knowing. And there is no other knowing.
That's why religion has to choose a different kind of language. Religion has to talk in parables, in poetry, in metaphors, in myth. Those are indirect ways of hinting at the truth -- only hinting at the truth, no direct pointing; just whispering, not shouting. It comes to you in a deep rapport."

Osho takes it on and is very successful in letting the Zen stories come to live full of fragrance... and with the creation of the Zen meditation NO Mind he proves to be a contemporary Zen master.
In the discourses from the Zen Manifesto, Osho uses laughter and gibberish to lead the listener and the participant to a taste of the relaxing moments of NO Mind.

It is time for Sardar Gurudayal Singh.
Put the lights on! I love to see my people laughing. I am absolutely against seriousness, but unfortunately I have to discuss serious things. But it is good to make you first serious, then laughter comes more easily. Then it gives a great relaxation.

Little Albert comes running into the village store and races up to the counter. "Hey, mister," he cries to old Jock, the owner. "My dad was fixing the roof when the ladder slipped from under him! Now he is hanging by his fingers from an upstairs window ledge!"
"Well, son," says old Jock, "you have come to the wrong place!
You want the police station across the road - and hurry!"
"No," says Albert, "you don't understand. I want some more film for my camera!"

One Sunday morning at the Loony Tunes Funny Farm, old Father Fungus is the guest preacher in the lunatic asylum's small chapel. He is ranting and raving in the pulpit, screaming all about damnation and hellfire, God's sweet love and the nocturnal emissions of the Holy Ghost, when suddenly, Mad Melvin jumps up out of his seat, raises both arms high in the air and shouts, "Bullshit! Do we have to listen to this idiot?"
Then Mad Melvin smiles and sits back down.
There is pindrop silence. Father Fungus is extremely embarrassed, and turns to the
hospital director Doctor Dumshit.
"Oh dear!" stammers the priest. "Shall I stop speaking?"
"No need for that, Father," sighs Dumshit, yawning. "It won't happen again. Mad Melvin only
makes a true statement once every seven years."

Two famous music lovers, Cardinal Catsass and Pope the Polack, are sipping wine and having an intimate chat in the pope's private Vatican chambers. "Did you know," says Catsass, confiding in the old papal fruitcake, "that I have a very special musical friend?"
"Really?" says the pope.
"Yes," continues Catsass. "I treat her just like a guitar -- I finger the top and play the bottom and get beautiful music!"
"Well," says Pope the Polack, "I must confess that I have a very special musical friend, too."
"Really?" exclaims Catsass.
"Yes," continues the Polack pope. "I treat mine more like a pop record. I place her on the deck and we make beautiful music. And then three minutes later, I turn her over!"

Be silent...
Close your eyes... and feel your body to be completely frozen.
This is the right moment to look inwards.
Gather your energies and your total consciousness, and rush towards your very center of being. It is just below the navel, exactly two inches below, inside you.
But only those will succeed who rush with an urgency and intensity, as if this is the last moment of life. You have to make it now or never.
Faster and faster... Deeper and deeper...
You are coming closer to the center of your being.
A great silence is descending over you like soft rain. You can feel the coolness. With you, the whole night has become silent.
A little closer to your center, and a great peace surrounds you, engulfs you. You are drowned in it. It is the peace that mystics have called "the peace that passeth understanding."
A little closer... and blossoms, flowers start showering over you, of bliss, of ecstasy. You are starting to feel like a drunk -- but this is not an ordinary drunkenness, it is divine drunkenness. And only in this divine drunkenness can you take the last step. Enter into your center.
This is the opening into the beyond, this is the place where you are joined with the cosmos. You will meet here your original face. The face of Gautam the Buddha has been accepted in the East as a symbol of everybody's original face.
Meeting the buddha is a very strange experience, because you start disappearing, fading away. And as you fade away, the buddha becomes more and more solid and strong. It is your very essential being.
The only quality the buddha has is witnessing. You have to get more and more attuned with this quality, because only this quality can bring your buddha from the center to the circumference. He can become your whole life. He is the ultimate dance.
Gautam the Buddha is the Zen Manifesto.
Witnessing, you start disappearing.
That's what I have called freedom from the self.
Witness that you are not the body.
Witness that you are not the mind.
Witness that you are only a witness, and everything starts settling.

To make this witnessing more clear and deeper,
Nivedano...

Relax...
It is only a question of relaxing, it is not an effort. It is just falling deep into your own depth, resting at the very center of your life source.
This life source, this juice that is flowing all around you, will start a tremendous metamorphosis within you. You will feel you are melting, melting, melting...
Gautama the Buddha Auditorium is becoming an ocean of consciousness. Ten thousand buddhas have disappeared into one oceanic experience.
This is the Zen Manifesto: freedom from oneself.
Gather all these experiences, the grace, the beauty, the truth, the blissfulness. You have to bring them with you. They have to become your day-to-day life. I don't teach any other morality. I teach spontaneity, and the morality follows like a shadow. And because it comes from your very sources you never feel you are being commanded, you never feel you are being dominated, you never feel you are being a slave, you never feel you are being a sheep. You start being a lion.
Your morality, your response to existence becomes a lion's roar.
The beauty and the power -- and the power that is harmless...
The love that simply overflows you, unconditional, just a gift, a blessing to the whole existence... And a grace that changes not only your consciousness but even your body.
Your gestures become so meaningful, so significant, so beautiful -- like roses.
Your eyes become like stars.
Your heart starts beating in tune with the universal heart.
This synchronicity is the Zen Manifesto.
And don't forget to persuade Gautam Buddha to come with you.
These are the three steps of enlightenment....
The first, Gautam Buddha comes behind you just as a shadow -- but the shadow is not dark, it is luminous. There is no person in it but only presence, a tremendous presence. It is warm, you feel for the first time loved by existence itself. It is calm and cool at the same time. That's the miracle of Zen.
On the second step, you become the shadow. Your shadow is certainly dark; it is false, it has been your prison. Gautam Buddha comes in front. It is a great revolution, because your shadow immediately starts disappearing.
And the third step comes spontaneously in: freedom from oneself. You are no more, only existence is, life is, awareness is.
All these are represented by the presence of Gautam the Buddha. He was the first man in history to bring this breakthrough, to turn the horizontal consciousness into a vertical consciousness. Your roots go deep into the earth, and your branches and your flowers blossom into the sky.
This is meeting with the universe, merging into existence. A great celebration arises, and not only in you, the whole existence participates.

Nivedano...

(Drumbeat)

Come back... but come back as Gautam the Buddha, with the same grace, the same beauty, the same silence, the same divine drunkenness, and sit for a few moments to remind yourself of the golden path you have traveled, the beautiful, the blissful, the ecstatic experience of reaching to the center of your being, which opens into the cosmos.
Zen is nothing but an opening into the cosmos.
You disappear, only existence remains.
This is the ultimate freedom: freedom from oneself.
This freedom becomes a great celebration. You dance with the stars, you dance with the ocean, you dance with the trees, you dance under the sky, under the stars. Suddenly the whole cosmos has become your home. You are not a foreigner, you are not a stranger, you are not an outsider. You belong to this existence. This existence belongs to you.
This is the revolution that Zen brings to humanity. This is Zen's great contribution to the world.
It is the right time for you to start celebrating life, dancing in deep synchronicity with existence -- and spread this fire of Zen around the world. This is the only possibility to save humanity from committing suicide.

Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Osho.
