A single buddha can make the whole world afire
with a new consciousness and a new humanity.
You are the very hope of a world which is in great despair, in great anguish.
It is not only a question of your individuality, becoming a buddha,
it is a question of saving this whole planet.
ZEN HAS INFINITE POTENTIAL
In Osho′s understanding Zen is the approach to religion that has not put fetters on mankind. These four talks pay homage to Zen′s reverence for life and its celebration of the everyday. He sees in Zen a seed, pregnant with infinite potential. Interspersed with his comments on anecdotes about the Zen masters Rinzai and Fuketsu, Osho addresses current issues.
With characteristic forthrightness he shows how society diverges from what it preaches and how it lives. This beautifully designed volume of talks also features commentaries on haikus, and a great selection of jokes! The Earth suffers accelerated destruction.
Osho considers that environmental proposals aren’t sufficient to transform the world and prevent the destruction of the planet. For Osho, the solution to this is found in Zen.
One Seed Makes the Whole Earth Green
het volgende inhoudt. Een enkele Boeddha kan de hele wereld in vuur en vlam zetten met een nieuw bewustzijn en een nieuwe mensheid. “Julie zijn precies de hoop van een wereld die in grote wanhoop verkeert, in grote benauwdheid. Het is niet alleen een kwestie van jullie individualiteit, om een boeddha te worden, het is een kwestie van het redden van deze hele planeet. Deze planeet kan alleen gered worden door mensen die begrijpen dat ieder levend wezen goddelijk is. Iets vernietigen, is lelijk en barbaars. Vooral om leven te vernietigen, is absoluut walgelijk, omdat als je je geen leven kunt creëren, je ook niet het recht hebt om het te vernietigen. Eem zaadje maakt de hele wereld groen.” OshoZen heeft de Mensheid Nooit Belemmerd

Excerpt from: One Seed Can Make the Whole Earth Green, Chapter 1
THREE BODIES
“When you die only your physical body dies. The astral body takes your innermost being to another womb, unless you have become enlightened. If you become enlightened, then except your innermost center everything dies, and the center is for the first time released from the prison of the three bodies. It simply melts like ice in the oceanic consciousness of the universe. That is the ultimate freedom.
bondage of body and action, of mind and thinking, of feeling and emotions.”
