Yakusan: Straight to the Point of Enlightenment
Ch #1: Whatever the Cost Enlightenment Is Cheap
17 January 1989 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
One of five talks given on stories of the Zen master, Yakusan. Osho uses these anecdotes and a diversity of subjects as a springboard into the reality of the Zen approach to truth, it is not so much "about" Zen, but instead a Zen look at the world around us.
From a crescendo of laughter and gibberish, He takes us straight to the place where the inner buddha resides: Straight to the Point of Enlightenment.

Here he starts talking about the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, who has made a statement to an international conference. The statement says that the earth is one. All national boundaries should be dissolved. all differences of caste and race and color should be dissolved. All divisions of organized religions should be dissolved.....
Osho said: "I have been saying the same thing for almost twenty years, and my every meeting is an international conference. But I don't have the power; I am not a politician.
Perhaps Rajiv Gandhi has not looked into the implications, and I am wondering why nobody stood up at that international conference and asked him, "If this is your idea then start it. Take the risk."......
Question 2: Maneesha has asked a question:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
IT IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED THAT EVOLUTION IS FOR THE BETTER, THAT IT IS A PROCESS
OF IMPROVEMENT, OF REFINING. BUT FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE MAINTAINS THAT SPECIES
DON'T GROW MORE PERFECT, BECAUSE THE WEAKER - WHO ARE IN THE MAJORITY -
DEFEAT THE STRONG. WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING?

Maneesha, I agree with Friedrich Nietzsche totally......
Question:
EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, FOR SOME SUPPORT OR TO NEGATE SOMETHING, PEOPLE
ARE ASKED TO RAISE ONE OF THEIR HANDS. WHY DO YOU ASK US ALWAYS TO RAISE
BOTH OUR HANDS?"
Listen to how Osho points our need to wake up, often lovingly and with humor .
