Osho - Bodhidharma - The Greatest Zen Master 13 - Mind is the bondage

BELOVED OSHO,
WITHOUT THE MIND THERE'S NO BUDDHA MEANS THAT THE BUDDHA
COMES FROM THE MIND .... WHOEVER WANTS TO SEE A BUDDHA SEES
THE MIND BEFORE HE SEES THE BUDDHA ...ONCE YOU'VE SEEN THE
BUDDHA, YOU FORGET ABOUT THE MIND. IF YOU DON'T FORGET
ABOUT THE MIND, THE MIND WILL CONFUSE YOU ....
MORTALITY AND BUDDHAHOOD ARE LIKE WATER AND ICE. TO BE
AFFLICTED BY THE THREE POISONS IS MORTALITY. TO BE PURIFIED BY
THE THREE RELEASES IS BUDDHAHOOD. THAT WHICH FREEZES INTO
ICE IN WINTER MELTS INTO WATER IN SUMMER. ELIMINATE ICE, AND
THERE'S NO MORE WATER. GET RID OF MORTALITY, AND THERE'S NO
MORE BUDDHAHOOD. CLEARLY, THE NATURE OF ICE IS THE NATURE
OF WATER ....
MORTALS LIBERATE BUDDHAS AND BUDDHAS LIBERATE MORTALS.
THIS IS WHAT'S MEANT BY IMPARTIALITY. MORTALS LIBERATE
BUDDHAS BECAUSE AFFLICTION CREATES AWARENESS. AND BUDDHAS
LIBERATE MORTALS BECAUSE AWARENESS NEGATES AFFLICTION.
THERE CAN'T HELP BUT BE AFFLICTION. AND THERE CAN'T HELP BUT
BE AWARENESS. IF NOT FOR AFFLICTION, THERE WOULD BE NOTHING
TO CREATE AWARENESS. AND IF NOT FOR AWARENESS, THERE WOULD
BE NOTHING TO NEGATE AFFLICTION. WHEN YOU'RE DELUDED,
BUDDHAS LIBERATE MORTALS. WHEN YOU'RE AWARE, MORTALS
LIBERATE BUDDHAS. BUDDHAS DON'T BECOME BUDDHAS ON THEIR
OWN. THEY'RE LIBERATED BY MORTALS. BUDDHAS REGARD DELUSION
AS THEIR FATHER AND GREED AS THEIR MOTHER. DELUSION AND
GREED ARE DIFFERENT NAMES FOR MORTALITY ....
WHEN YOU'RE DELUDED, YOU'RE ON THIS SHORE. WHEN YOU'RE
AWARE, YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SHORE. BUT ONCE YOU KNOW YOUR
MIND IS EMPTY AND YOU SEE NO APPEARANCES, YOU'RE BEYOND
DELUSION AND AWARENESS. AND ONCE YOU'RE BEYOND DELUSION
AND AWARENESS, THE OTHER SHORE DOESN'T EXIST. THE TATHAGATA
ISN'T ON THIS SHORE OR THE OTHER SHORE. AND HE ISN'T IN
MIDSTREAM. ARHATS ARE IN MIDSTREAM, AND MORTALS ARE ON THIS
SHORE. ON THE OTHER SHORE IS BUDDHAHOOD.
