- The sutra
- On one occasion, as Joshu was receiving new arrivals in his monastery, he asked one of them, "Have you been here before?"
- "Yes," the monk replied.
- "Help yourself to a cup of tea!" Joshu said to him. Then he turned to another new arrival and said, "Have you been here before?"
- "No, your reverence," the visitor replied. "This is my first visit here."
- Joshu said to him, "Help yourself to a cup of tea!"
- The prior of the monastery took Joshu aside and said, "One had been here before, and you gave him a cup of tea. The other had not been here, and you also gave him a cup of tea. What is the meaning of this?"
- Joshu called out loudly, "Prior!"
- "Yes?" the prior replied.
- "Help yourself to a cup of tea!" instructed Joshu.
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, I heard you say during our meditation that the intensity of our effort would pull us towards our center. I have also heard you say that potential disciples are pulled magnetically towards the master. Is there a similarity and connection between these two things?
