Lady You Need Love!

Question 1:

I HAVE TOO MUCH SEXUAL ENERGY BURNING WITHIN MY BODY. WHEN I
DANCE, SOMETIMES I FEEL I AM GOING TO KILL THE WHOLE WORLD AND

AT SOME STAGES SO MUCH ANGER AND VIOLENCE BUBBLES WITHIN MY
BODY THAT I CAN'T CHANNELISE THE ENERGY INTO MEDITATION
TECHNIQUES AND IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. I DON'T FEEL TO GO INTO THE
SEX ACT BUT VIOLENT ENERGY IS STILL BURNING LIKE VOLCANIC FIRE. I
CAN'T BEAR IT AND IT MAKES, ME SOMETIMES SUICIDAL. PLEASE
EXPLAIN HOW TO GIVE A CREATIVE OUTLET TO THIS ENERGY.

HO-SHAN USED TO GIVE THE FOLLOWING SERMON: 'TO DISCIPLINE
OURSELVES IN LEARNING, IS CALLED HEARING; TO REACH A POINT

WHERE ANY MORE LEARNING NO MORE AVAILS, IS CALLED
APPROACHING. WHEN ONE GOES BEYOND THESE TWO STAGES HE IS SAID
TO HAVE TRULY TRANSCENDED.'

ONCE A MONK ASKED: 'WHAT THEN IS TRULY TRANSCENDING?'

WITHOUT UTTERING A WORD HO-SHAN MOTIONED AS IF BEATING A
DRUM, SAYING: 'DANG, DANG, DOKO DANG, DOKO DANG.'

TO ALL SUCH QUESTIONS HO-SHAN'S ANSWER WAS ALWAYS THE SAME:

'DANG, DANG, DOKO DANG, DOKO DANG.'

WHAT IS truth?

Another Sunday

The first question:

Question 1:

AS A CHILD, SUNDAYS HAVE BEEN SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO ME.

NOW, SINCE A FEW DAYS, I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND GO OUT, SEE

THE SUN SHINING THROUGH THE TREES, HEAR THE BIRDS SINGING AND
GET THIS FEELING, 'AH, ANOTHER SUNDAY.' I PUT ON MY BEST CLOTHES
AND HAVE SUNDAY FOR THE WHOLE DAY. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?

Be A Light Unto Yourself

LONG AGO, IN JAPAN, A BLIND MAN VISITING A FRIEND ONE NIGHT, WAS
OFFERED A PAPER-AND-BAMBOO LANTERN TO CARRY HOME WITH HIM.

'I DO NOT NEED A LANTERN,' HE SAID, 'DARKNESS OR LIGHT IS ALL THE
SAME TO ME.'

'I KNOW YOU DO NOT NEED A LANTERN TO FIND YOUR WAY, HIS FRIEND
REPLIED, 'BUT YOU MUST TAKE IT BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE
SOMEONE ELSE MAY RUN INTO YOU.'

THE BLIND MAN STARTED OFF WITH THE LANTERN AND BEFORE HE HAD
WALKED VERY FAR SOMEONE RAN SQUARELY INTO HIM. 'LOOK OUT
WHERE YOU ARE GOING!' HE EXCLAIMED TO THE STRANGER. 'CAN'T YOU
SEE THIS LANTERN?'

Joy Is The Criterion

The first question:

Question 1:

HOW CAN I KNOW IF DETACHMENT OR INDIFFERENCE IS GROWING WITHIN?

It is not difficult to know. How do you know when you have a headache and how do you know

when you don't have a headache? It is simply clear. When you are growing in detachment you will become healthier, happier; your life will become a life of joy. That is the criterion of all that is good. Joy is the criterion. If you are growing in joy, you are growing, and you are getting towards home.

Two Ladies And A Monk

THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN IN CHINA WHO HAD SUPPORTED A MONK
FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS. SHE HAD BUILT A HUT FOR HIM, AND SHE FED
HIM WHILE HE WAS MEDITATING.

ONE DAY SHE DECIDED TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT PROGRESS HE HAD MADE
IN ALL THIS TIME.

SHE OBTAINED THE HELP OF A GIRL RICH IN DESIRE, AND SAID TO HER:

'GO AND EMBRACE HIM, AND THEN ASK HIM SUDDENLY, "WHAT NOW?"'

THE GIRL CALLED UPON THE MONK AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED
CARESSING HIM, AND ASKING HIM WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.

When Grapes Are Sour

The first question:

'HAPPINESS IS NOT BEING SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT TO WORRY
ABOUT.' PLEASE COMMENT.

This must have been said by a very unhappy man, and yet a very

egoistic one. He cannot recognise the fact that unhappiness is created by being unintelligent. He is trying to save his ego. He is saying that the grapes are sour.

To be unhappy no intelligence is needed. Everybody is capable of being unhappy but happiness is very, very rare. Great talent is needed. Not only intellect, intelligence is needed. Only rarely does a Buddha, a Krishna, become happy. It is almost impossible to be happy.

'As within, so without'

AFTER BANKEI HAD PASSED AWAY, A BLIND MAN WHO LIVED NEAR THE
MASTER'S TEMPLE SAID TO A FRIEND: 'SINCE I AM BLIND I CANNOT
WATCH A PERSON'S FACE, SO I MUST JUDGE HIS CHARACTER BY THE
SOUND OF HIS VOICE.

ORDINARILY WHEN I HEAR SOMEONE CONGRATULATE ANOTHER UPON
HIS HAPPINESS OR SUCCESS, I ALSO HEAR A SECRET TONE OF ENVY.

WHEN CONDOLENCE IS EXPRESSED FOR THE MISFORTUNE OF ANOTHER, I

Magicless Magic

Question 1:

YESTERDAY WHILE SITTING IN ZAZEN I FELT MYSELF GET HIT WITH A
STICK ON MY HEAD. BUT PRADEEPA THAT TIME HAD NOT HIT ME. ALSO
TODAY DURING THE LECTURE I GOT HIT TWICE ON THE HEAD BUT NO
STICK-HITTER WAS AROUND. IS THIS MAGICLESS MAGIC?

It is sheer imagination, and on the path of meditation imagination is the greatest pitfall.

Be aware of it. You can imagine so deeply and you can believe in your imagination so intensely that it can appear more real than the real.

Never Pretend, Even About Skulls

THE MASTER FUGAI WAS CONSIDERED VERY WISE AND GENEROUS, YET
HE WAS MOST SEVERE BOTH WITH HIMSELF AND HIS DISCIPLES.

HE WENT TO THE MOUNTAINS TO SIT IN ZEN. HE LIVED IN A CAVE,

AND
WHEN HE WAS HUNGRY HE WENT TO THE VILLAGE FOR SCRAPS.

ONE DAY A MONK CALLED BUNDO, ATTRACTED BY FUGAI'S AUSTERITIES,
CALLED AT THE CAVE AND ASKED TO STAY THE NIGHT.

You have chosen with me a path not ordinarily travelled by people, not travelled by the majority, by the crowd, by the mass. It is going to make a great difference, but it i just a beginning. Never for a single moment forget it that this is just a beginning. And the end is very far and much effort, much discipline, much inner transformation will be needed.

And nobody else can do it for you. You have to be born for yourself, nobody else can be born for you. You have to live for yourself, nobody else can live in your
