IN SPAIN, ELEGANT 5Star INDIA TAJ MAHAL, INDIA TOUR, ARGENTINA AND IGUAZU FALLS MEXICO, PERU
.... When I was getting the better of the energy blockage I felt the spaces in which I meditated expand. I got an explosion of energy down the right hand side of my body. The energy was bumping around in my base chakra; in fact my whole body was pulsating with the energies. It felt as though there was static electricity all along my arms making the hairs stand up on end. As the energies grew stronger I felt lighter, happier and freer. My heart opened out to send blasts of energy out which returned back to me.
This was not just a quest for personal growth it was the quest for enlightenment. It is the spiritual path I am on, these techniques are just part of it. The ancient scriptures are followed and hatha yoga is practiced, it is all part and parcel of the same thing.
Satchidanand said we only see these problems when we are able to deal with them and now was the time for me to deal them. There are also positive images whilst meditating and one was of a large bird soaring in the sky, floating on the thermals, being taken by the wind. That is the analogy of my quest. I want to be free to follow my souls path; I want to be that bird. Out of this I was given a message “Let the soul sing its song through my heart”.

COURSE TESTIMONIAL
JEAN, THOMAS, AMY, SATCHIDANAND AND VANESSA IN SPAIN
My Introduction and background
My name is Jean, and I am a thirty seven year old Chartered Engineer from the UK working in the Nuclear Industry.
Since beginning the four-week Energy Enhancement course two weeks ago I have been consistently impressed with the efficacy of this programme.
YUKO SATO LIKES FOOD AND INDEED PROFESSIONALLY PHOTOGRAPHS FOOD AND MANY OTHER THINGS FROM SHANGHAI TO LONDON. FROM THE COURSE SHE WENT ON TO A TWO WEEK FAST AND LIVER CLEANSE.
I have experience of many forms of meditation and practices for self improvement including: Transcendental meditation (TM) 12 years, Kriya Yoga 9 years, Sushila Buddhi Dharma (SUBUD) 7 years, and more recently the Sedona Method and the Course in Miracles. The Energy Enhancement programme encapsulates and expands all of these systems, it is complete and no questions are left unanswered.
After years of trying all these methods, I had had some success with my mind and emotions but the DVD and Online Energy Enhancement Course over one year so improved my psychic vision that I was able to see 13 energy blockages along my spine as shiny black stones.
The extra energy from the ONLINE AND DVD EE Meditation caused me shake every time I meditated, a phenomena that has been reported in many books describing the action of Kundalini energy.
I had to wait for the advanced blockage removing techniques of EE Level 2 and a lot of hard work over one week before these energy blockages were removed and my Kundalini shaking, so much a part of my preliminary Energy Enhancement meditational experience over the last year, was brought to a stop.

Energy Enhancement In Spain Course Arrangements
The course takes place in L’Escala on the Costa Brava in Northern Spain. The duration is four weeks to learn the four levels of Energy Enhancement.
I was allowed to make payments in easy monthly instalments via Pay Pal beginning a year in advance of the course start date. This planning well ahead also allowed me to book cheap flights from my home in the UK to Barcelona. From Barcelona I caught a train to Figueres station (only 8 Euros) where Satchi collected me.
Accommodation is available at the SOL centre with Satchi and Devi or in one of the many campsites and villas available nearby. I chose to stay at the SOL centre to take maximum advantage of the ‘Buddha Field’ of energy, which pervades there.
This highly charged energy field boosts progress towards freedom from negative feelings, circumstances, persons, places and conditions – towards enlightenment.
SATCHIDANAND BY YUKO SATO
What is Energy Enhancement?
Energy Enhancement is a systematic and complete programme for removing all the negative thought forms (blockages), which cause an individual to be unhappy, stressed, unenthusiastic and tired. This course promises enlightenment.
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT SATCHIDANAND AND DEVI DHYANI
The course was devised and is delivered by Master Satchidanand (Satchi) and his wife Devi Dhyani. These two highly evolved individuals have very impressive credentials. Satchi had two enlightened masters, Zen Master Roshi Hogen of Japan and Swami Satchidanada, Yogiraj and disciple of Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh of India and the USA who died in 2002 at the ripe old age of 89.
Devi has been teaching Meditation for over 20 years (34 years - SATCHI). All the details and much more are available at www.energyenhancement.org. The benefit of all this is available to all the students who undertake the course – it is real!
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME LEVEL 1
The programme begins at level 1 which includes basic training in meditation and the manipulation of life energy (Ki, Chi, Pranha, Orgone, Kundalini). It also includes techniques for avoiding food, which contains poisons such as pesticides and for dealing with the effects any poisonous substance, which you may have ingested in the past. These poisons reduce your energy and therefore your progress towards happiness.
Dali Christ
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME LEVEL 2
Level 2 provides training and actual experience in removing the blockages (negative thought forms) to the free flow and accumulation of this energy in the body. With the skills learned in this stage it is possible for an individual to systematically remove all these blockages improving day by day until eventually none are left. This state of freedom is commonly referred to as Enlightenment or the end of personal suffering. I have not encountered any other system, which makes the light at the end of the tunnel so clear and attainable.
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME LEVEL 3
Level 3 deals with past life resolution (I will be taking this part of the course in the next week)
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME LEVEL 4
Level 4 deals with the mastery of relationships – or how to help your loved ones and acquaintances (final week)
My Experiences
Energy Enhancement Online course
Prior to coming on the residential course at L’Escala I had an excellent introduction to Energy Enhancement by taking the online course. Over a period of a year I was introduced to and worked with the principles of Level 1 of Energy Enhancement. The course material was abundant and clear.
Any clarification that was required was forthcoming from Satchi via email. So I already knew before I came to L’Escala that the programme was effective because from the online course I had already had experience of energy flowing through my body, Kundalini shaking and psychic vision of the blockages (negative thought forms) like shiny black stones, which restrict that flow.
My Energy Enhancement Residential Course in Spain
My first notable experience on the course came when Satchi gave instructions on how to sit correctly in meditation. With Satchi’s help I was able to align my spine perpendicular to the surface of the earth and the Kundalini energy that radiates from within it.
Kundalini Shaking
The flow of energy caused my body to shake like electricity. I had had this shaking experience before with the more advanced level one techniques of the DVD Course but this time all that was required was correct posture.
Heart Chakra Warmth
Throughout Energy Enhancement Level 1 I experienced instances of movement and beautiful warmth in the heart as the Chakra increased in energy. This occurred during initiation from Devi, dealing with toxins and construction of psychic protection. The flow of energy became stronger and stronger causing my body to shake more intensely as it hit upon resistances.
Blockage Removal Techniques
In Energy Enhancement Level 2 the techniques were given to remove those resistances – the first few baby steps towards ultimate freedom. Some of my experiences of blockage (negative thought form) removals are given below:
Heart Chakra Blockage: This was my first blockage removal attempt and required a little help from Satchi. After I had worked on it for a while without completion Satchi asked if he could have a look to which I replied in the positive.
From that point I was aware of great heat and light at the front of my body as though the sun was shining on me – but I was indoors! Needless to say the blockage is gone!
Solar Plexus Chakra Blockage: For some time I had been experiencing pain at the bottom of my breast bone – one of the signs that there is a blockage. I tackled it with the techniques of Energy Enhancement Level 2 until it was successfully removed. There was an immediate reduction in pain which reduced to virtually nil over the following days – proof to me that these techniques work!
Blockages on the spine: I had been aware from using the techniques of level 1 gained from the online course that there were blockages along my spine. These blockages caused my body to shake when connecting to high levels of Kundalini energy – an interesting phenomena which let me know that something was happening but not helpful in the long run.
Using the techniques of level 2 to remove these thirteen blockages which looked to me in my meditation like shiny black stones, the shaking ceased and the energy increased!
Childhood trauma – The techniques of EE can be used to remove the negative thought forms associated with past trauma. When I applied the techniques to the memory of a near fatal childhood accident when I fractured my skull at the age of two I spontaneously experienced wonderful feelings of warmth and compassion towards the child that I was, and of forgiveness the whole situation that had occurred.
These are just a few of the experiences that I have had since being here. All of my fellow students have had similar and much more dramatic experiences.
Conclusion
I have been working for over 12 years with many well known techniques including Transcendental meditation and Kriya Yoga, Subud, A Course in Mircles and the Sedona Method.
Although I have made good progress with these techniques I now consider these to have been preliminary techniques to prepare me for Energy Enhancement.
These methods that I have tried before simply don’t provide for the systematic identification of Energy Blockages or contain the Advanced Techniques for the removal of the energy blockages to enlightenment that Energy Enhancement does.
If you are serious about self-improvement, growth, change, enlightenment! Then the Energy Enhancement course is for you.
SATCHIDANAND BY AMY ZANTRAS. AMY ZANTRAS IS LIVING AS A MASTER IN AN ASHRAM IN INDIA AND SPEAKING IN SATSANG IN INDIA, CANADA AND SWEDEN.
If you are tired of all the many systems of meditation which leave questions unanswered and where the path to enlightenment is ill defined and uncertain then don’t delay end the suffering as soon as possible – learn Energy Enhancement.

ENERGY ENHANCEMENT COURSE
ENERGY ENHANCEMENT teaches TOTAL Transmutation of ALL ENERGY BLOCKAGES
The inflow of Spiritual Energy or Kundalini Energy is well known in all Spiritual Circles as being expected in all genuine Courses with teachers who have advanced experience with Enlightened Masters. Yet some people just cannot get their heads around Kundalini Energy which is talked about even in the Vedas which are a sacred spiritual resource thousands of years old. Even though Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh said that all meditation and Yoga was based upon Kundalini Energy.
If you are not experiencing spiritual energy in your Yoga or Meditation practise then What is UP??!!

It shows you how to integrate the peace of retreat with the activity of life - work, relationships, enjoyment, and spirituality - there should be no separation.."

TESTIMONIAL REVIEW OF THE FIRST DVD OF FOUR, INITIATION ONE - MEDITATION
Prior to seeing the "Initiation One" Video my 50 year old legs would go numb within 10 minutes any time I tried to meditate sitting on the floor with legs crossed in "easy position". After making the adjustments suggested in the video I can sit for 40+ minutes without any sign of numbness or strain. I'm sure I'll be able to go much longer with practice. An alternate method of sitting "saddle style" was also shown and it too provided numbness and pain free meditation.
Overall, I think that this video gives the two most important and often overlooked keys to meditation. First is finding a sitting position that is comfortable for a long duration and second is squaring the body to tap into the earth's energy system.
Craig Adamson
Below is my
review of "Energy Enhancement
Initiation 2" of 28
Energy Enhancement Initiations - The Circulation of the Energies.
Energy Enhancement Initiation 2 is the micro-cosmic orbit that is taught in many
forms of qi gong, with two major improvements.
First
you learn how to identify where you have blockages and second you learn a couple
of techniques on how to clear the blockages. I had practiced the micro-cosmic
orbit in the past but lost interest in it because of the lack of progress I had.
I have been practicing the micro-cosmic orbit using the techniques in Energy
Enhancement Initiation 2 for the past couple of weeks and have noticed steady
progress. One thing I have noticed a natural flow of saliva which fills my mouth
within a few minutes anytime my tongue is in proper alignment.
Besides feeling the micro-cosmic orbit more clearly, I can also feel a stronger kundalini flow when I align myself as taught in Energy Enhancement Initiation 1.
I have identified the blocked areas of my spine and body and have been using the Energy Enhancement techniques to remove them.

WHAT DON MINIHANE SAYS OF HIS MEDITATIONAL EXPERIENCES ON THE JANUARY 2007 COURSE
DON MEDITATING AFTER A FEW DAYS ON THE COURSE -
"To expand, I was sitting in meditation the other night and was happily destroying blockages in me using the Seven Step Process of Energy Enhancement taught by Satchi and Devi when I was staggered by something new. I watched as negative energy transmuted into white light and travelled down to the centre of the earth then returned up my spinal column and carried on into outer space to the centre of the universe and then returned back to me through the crown chakra and down the front of my body through the throat centre then the heart centre and the solar plexus, on to the genitals and in to the perineum, through to the centre of the earth and returned back up my spine and so began this new orbit of energy.
The effect was something else; it shot through me at incredible speed. This carried on and got denser and more powerful as I discharged more of the negative energy within me. This energy took the form of bands of light that followed each other in waves travelling at equal distance apart and as I discharged and transmuted more negative energy the bands got closer together and I found that I could control the speed at which they travelled through the body. Satchi calls this orbit the Supra Galactic Orbit which travels up the ANTAHKARANA into the centre of the universe and down through the centre of the earth passing through the front of the body on the downward sweep and returning up the spine on the outward sweep. I was complete."
TOTAL RESPECT TO SATCHIDANAND AND DEVI DHYANI
"Satchi, please accept my total respect and gratitude for everything you have imparted to me over the short four weeks I have been here. You are a huge light in this world and long may you shine. For everyone reading this, get your asses over to see these people, your lives will be changed forever and we dont get many chances in this world to be able to achieve that and there are defiantly not many people in this world like Satchi and Devi who can do the business like this"
Energy Enhancement is the process of clearing all the bad things which have ever happened to you from your psychic body, freeing up the internal essence to attain clarity and enlightenment on your true life path.Three is a Practical Guided Meditation which will put you in touch with your own earth energy connection.

TEMPTATION CANNOT TOUCH THE MAN
WHO IS AWAKE, STRONG AND HUMBLE,
WHO MASTERS HIMSELF AND MINDS THE LAW.
IF A MAN'S THOUGHTS ARE MUDDY,
IF HE IS RECKLESS AND FULL OF DECEIT,
HOW CAN HE WEAR THE YELLOW ROBE?
WHOEVER IS MASTER OF HIS OWN NATURE,
BRIGHT, CLEAR AND TRUE,
HE MAY INDEED WEAR THE YELLOW ROBE.
My beloved bodhisattvas.... Yes, that's how I look at you. That's how you have
to start looking at yourselves. Bodhisattva means a buddha in essence, a buddha
in seed, a buddha asleep, but with all the potential to be awake. In that sense
everybody is a bodhisattva, but not everybody can be called a bodhisattva --
only those who have started groping for the light, who have started longing for
the dawn, in whose hearts the seed is no longer a seed but has become a sprout,
has started growing.
You are bodhisattvas because of your longing to be conscious, to be alert,
because of your quest for the truth. The truth is not far away, but there are
very few fortunate ones in the world who long for it. It is not far away but it
is arduous, it is hard to achieve. It is hard to achieve, not because of its
nature, but because of our investment in lies.
We have invested for lives and lives in lies. Our investment is so much that the
very idea of truth makes us frightened. We want to avoid it, we want to escape
from the truth. Lies are beautiful escapes -- convenient, comfortable dreams.
But dreams are dreams. They can enchant you for the moment, they can enslave you
for the moment, but only for the moment. And each dream is followed by
tremendous frustration, and each desire is followed by deep failure.
But we go on rushing into new lies; if old lies are known, we immediately invent
new lies. Remember that only lies can be invented; truth cannot be invented.
Truth already is! Truth has to be discovered, not invented. Lies cannot be
discovered, they have to be invented.
Mind feels very good with lies because the mind becomes the inventor, the doer.
And as the mind becomes the doer, ego is created. With truth, you have nothing
to do...and because you have nothing to do, mind ceases, and with the mind the
ego disappears, evaporates. That's the risk, the ultimate risk.
You have moved towards that risk. You have taken a few steps -- staggering,
stumbling, groping, haltingly, with many doubts, but still you have taken a few
steps; hence I call you bodhisattvas.
And THE DHAMMAPADA, the teaching of Gautama the Buddha, can only be taught to
the bodhisattvas. It cannot be taught to the ordinary, mediocre humanity,
because it cannot be understood by them.
These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you
receive them in silence. These words of Buddha come from immense purity. Unless
you become a vehicle, a receptacle, humble, egoless, alert, aware, you will not
be able to understand them. Intellectually you will understand them -- they are
very simple words, the simplest possible. But their very simplicity is a
problem, because you are not simple. To understand simplicity you need
simplicity of the heart, because only the simple heart can understand the simple
truth. Only the pure can understand that which has come out of purity.
I have waited long...now the time is ripe, you are ready. The seeds can be sown.
These tremendously important words can be uttered again. For twenty-five
centuries, such a gathering has not existed at all. Yes, there have been a few
enlightened masters with a few disciples -- half a dozen at the most -- and in
small gatherings THE DHAMMAPADA has been taught. But those small gatherings
cannot transform such a huge humanity. It is like throwing sugar in the ocean
with spoons: it cannot make it sweet -- your sugar is simply wasted.
A great, unheard-of experiment has to be done, on such a large scale that at
least the most substantial part of humanity is touched by it -- at least the
soul of humanity, the center of humanity, can be awakened by it. On the
periphery, the mediocre minds will go on sleeping -- let them sleep -- but at
the center where intelligence exists a light can be kindled.
The time is ripe, the time has come for it. My whole work here consists in
creating a buddhafield, an energy field where these eternal truths can be
uttered again. It is a rare opportunity. Only once in a while, after centuries,
does such an opportunity exist. Don't miss it. Be very alert, mindful. Listen to
these words not only with the head but with your heart, with every fiber of your
being. Let your totality be stirred by them.
And after these ten days of silence, it is exactly the right moment to bring
Buddha back, to make him alive again amongst you, to let him move amongst you,
to let the winds of Buddha pass through you. Yes, he can be called back again,
because nobody every disappears. Buddha is no longer an embodied person;
certainly he does not exist as an individual anywhere -- but his essence, his
soul, is part of the cosmic soul now.
If many many people -- with deep longing, with immense longing, with prayerful
hearts -- desire it, passionately desire it, then the soul that has disappeared
into the cosmic soul can again become manifest in millions of ways.
No true master ever dies, he cannot die. Death does not appear for the masters,
does not exist for them. Hence they are masters. They have known the eternity of
life. They have seen that the body disappears but that the body is not all: the
body is only the periphery, the body is only the garments. The body is the
house, the abode, but the guest never disappears. The guest only moves from one
abode to another. One day, ultimately, the guest starts living under the sky,
with no shelter...but the guest continues. Only bodies, houses, come and go, are
born and then die. But there is an inner continuum, an inner continuity -- that
is eternal, timeless, deathless.
Whenever you can love a master -- a master like Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, Lao
Tzu -- if your passion is total, immediately you are bridged.
My talking on Buddha is not just a commentary: it is creating a bridge. Buddha
is one of the most important masters who has ever existed on the earth --
incomparable, unique. And if you can have a taste of his being, you will be
infinitely benefited, blessed.
I am immensely glad, because after these ten days of silence I can say to you
that many of you are now ready to commune with me in silence. That is the
ultimate in communication. Words are inadequate; words say, but only partially.
Silence communes totally.
And to use words is a dangerous game too, because the meaning will remain with
me, only the word will reach you; and you will give it your own meaning, your
own color. It will not contain the same truth that it was meant to contain. It
will contain something else, something far poorer. It will contain your meaning,
not my meaning. You can distort language -- in fact it is almost impossible to
avoid distortion -- but you cannot distort silence. Either you understand or you
don't understand.
And for these ten days there were only two categories of people here: those who
understood and those who did not. But there was not a single person who
misunderstood. You cannot misunderstand silence -- that's the beauty of silence.
The demarcation is absolute: either you understand or, simply, you don't
understand -- there is nothing to misunderstand.
With words the case is just the opposite: it is very difficult to understand, it
is very difficult to understand that you don't understand; these two are almost
impossibilities. And the third is the only possibility: misunderstanding.
These ten days have been of strange beauty, and of a mysterious majesty too. I
no longer really belong to this shore. My ship has been waiting for me for a
long time -- I should have gone. It is a miracle that I am still in the body.
The whole credit goes to you: to your love, to your prayers, to your longing.
You would like me to linger a little while longer on this shore, hence the
impossible has become possible.
These ten days, I was not feeling together with my body. I was feeling very
uprooted, dislocated. It is strange to be in the body when you don't feel that
you are in the body. And it is also strange to go on living in a place which no
longer belongs to you -- my home is on the other shore. And the call comes
persistently. But because you need me, it is the compassion of the universe --
you can call it God's compassion -- that is allowing me to be in the body a
little more.
It was strange, it was beautiful, it was mysterious, it was majestic, it was
magical. And many of you have felt it. Many of you have felt it in different
ways. A few have felt it as a very frightening phenomenon, as if death is
knocking on the door. A few have felt it as a great confusion. A few have felt
shocked, utterly shocked. But everybody has been touched in some way or other.
Only the newcomers were a little at a loss -- they could not comprehend what was
going on. But I feel thankful to them too. Although they could not understand
what was going on, they waited -- they were waiting for me to speak, they were
waiting for me to say something, they were hoping. Many were afraid that I might
not speak ever again...that was also a possibility. I was not certain myself.
Words are becoming more and more difficult for me. They are becoming more and
more of an effort. I have to say something so I go on saying something to you.
But I would like you to get ready as soon as possible so that we can simply sit
in silence...listening to the birds and their songs...or listening just to your
own heartbeat...just being here, doing nothing....
Get ready as soon as possible, because I may stop speaking any day. And let the
news be spread to all the nooks and corners of the world: those who want to
understand me only through the words, they should come soon, because I may stop
speaking any day. Unpredictably, any day, it may happen -- it may happen even in
the middle of a sentence. Then I am not going to complete the sentence! Then it
will hang forever and forever...incomplete.
But this time you have pulled me back.
These sayings of Buddha are called THE DHAMMAPADA. This name has to be
understood. Dhamma means many things. It means the ultimate law, logos. By
"ultimate law" is meant that which keeps the whole universe together. Invisible
it is, intangible it is -- but it is certainly; otherwise the universe would
fall apart. Such a vast, infinite universe, running so smoothly, so
harmoniously, is enough proof that there must be an undercurrent that connects
everything, that joins everything, that bridges everything -- that we are not
islands, that the smallest grass leaf is joined to the greatest star. Destroy a
small grass leaf and you have destroyed something of immense value to the
existence itself.
In existence there is no hierarchy, there is nothing small and nothing great.
The greatest star and the smallest grass leaf, both exist as equals; hence the
other meaning of the word 'dhamma'. The other meaning is justice, the equality,
the nonhierarchic existence. Existence is absolutely communist; it knows no
classes, it is all one. Hence the other meaning of the word 'dhamma' -- justice.
And the third meaning is righteousness, virtue. Existence is very virtuous. Even
if you find something which you cannot call virtue, it must be because of your
misunderstanding; otherwise the existence is absolutely virtuous. Whatsoever
happens here, always happens rightly. The wrong never happens. It may appear
wrong to you because you have a certain idea of what right is, but when you look
without any prejudice, nothing is wrong, all is right. Birth is right, death is
right. Beauty is right and ugliness is right.
But our minds are small, our comprehension is limited; we cannot see the whole,
we always see only a small part. We are like a person who is hiding behind his
door and looking through the keyhole into the street. He always sees
things...yes, somebody is moving, a car suddenly passes by. One moment it was
not there, one moment it is there, and another moment it is gone forever. That's
how we are looking at existence. We say something is in the future, then it
comes into the present, and then it has gone into the past.
In fact, time is a human invention. It is always now! Existence knows no past,
no future -- it knows only the present.
But we are sitting behind a keyhole and looking. A person is not there, then
suddenly he appears; and then as suddenly as he appears he disappears too. Now
you have to create time. Before the person appeared he was in the future; he was
there, but for you he was in the future. Then he appeared; now he is in the
present -- he is the same! And you cannot see him anymore through your small
keyhole -- he has become past. Nothing is past, nothing is future -- all is
always present. But our ways of seeing are very limited.
Hence we go on asking why there is misery in the world, why there is this and
that...why? If we can look at the whole, all these whys disappear. And to look
at the whole, you will have to come out of your room, you will have to open the
door...you will have to drop this keyhole vision.
This is what mind is: a keyhole, and a very small keyhole it is. Compared to the
vast universe, what are our eyes, ears, hands? What can we grasp? Nothing of
much importance. And those tiny fragments of truth, we become too much attached
to them.
If you see the whole, everything is as it should be -- that is the meaning of
"everything is right." Wrong exists not. Only God exists; the Devil is man's
creation.
The third meaning of 'dhamma' can be God -- but Buddha never uses the word 'God'
because it has become wrongly associated with the idea of a person, and the law
is a presence, not a person. Hence Buddha never uses the word 'God', but
whenever he wants to convey something of God he uses the word 'dhamma'. His mind
is that of a very profound scientist. Because of this, many have thought him to
be an atheist -- he is not. He is the greatest theist the world has ever known
or will ever know -- but he never talks about God. He never uses the word,
that's all, but by 'dhamma' he means exactly the same. "That which is" is the
meaning of the word 'God', and that's exactly the meaning of 'dhamma'. 'Dhamma'
also means discipline -- different dimensions of the word. One who wants to know
the truth will have to discipline himself in many ways. Don't forget the meaning
of the word 'discipline' -- it simply means the capacity to learn, the
availability to learn, the receptivity to learn. Hence the word 'disciple'.
'Disciple' means one who is ready to drop his old prejudices, to put his mind
aside, and look into the matter without any prejudice, without any a priori
conception.
And 'dhamma' also means the ultimate truth. When mind disappears, when the ego
disappears, then what remains? Something certainly remains, but it cannot be
called 'something' -- hence Buddha calls it 'nothing'. But let me remind you,
otherwise you will misunderstand him: whenever he uses the word 'nothing' he
means no-thing. Divide the word in two; don't use it as one word -- bring a
hyphen between 'no' and 'thing', then you know exactly the meaning of 'nothing'.
The ultimate law is not a thing. It is not an object that you can observe. It is
your interiority, it is subjectivity.
Buddha would have agreed totally with the Danish thinker, Soren Kierkegaard. He
says: Truth is subjectivity. That is the difference between fact and truth. A
fact is an objective thing. Science goes on searching for more and more facts,
and science will never arrive at truth -- it cannot by the very definition of
the word. Truth is the interiority of the scientist, but he never looks at it.
He goes on observing other things. He never becomes aware of his own being.
That is the last meaning of 'dhamma': your interiority, your subjectivity, your
truth.
One thing very significant -- allow it to sink deep into your heart: truth is
never a theory, a hypothesis; it is always an experience. Hence my truth cannot
be your truth. My truth is inescapably my truth; it will remain my truth, it
cannot be yours. We cannot share it. Truth is unsharable, untransferable,
incommunicable, inexpressible.
I can explain to you how I have attained it, but I cannot say what it is. The
"how" is explainable, but not the "why." The discipline can be shown, but not
the goal. Each one has to come to it in his own way. Each one has to come to it
in his own inner being. In absolute aloneness it is revealed.
And the second word is PADA. 'Pada' also has many meanings. One, the most
fundamental meaning, is path. Religion has two dimensions: the dimension of
"what" and the dimension of "how." The "what" cannot be talked about; it is
impossible. But the "how" can be talked about, the "how" is sharable. That is
the meaning of 'path'. I can indicate the path to you; I can show you how I have
traveled, how I reached the sunlit peaks. I can tell you about the whole
geography of it, the whole topography of it. I can give you a contour map, but I
cannot say how it feels to be on the sunlit peak.
It is like you can ask Edmund Hillary or Tensing how they reached the highest
peak of the Himalayas, Gourishankar. They can give you the whole map of how they
reached. But if you ask them what they felt when they reached, they can only
shrug their shoulders. That freedom that they must have known is unspeakable;
the beauty, the benediction, the vast sky, the height, and the colorful clouds,
and the sun and the unpolluted air, and the virgin snow on which nobody had ever
traveled before...all that is impossible to convey. One has to reach those
sunlit peaks to know it. 'Pada' means path, 'pada' also means step, foot,
foundation. All these meanings are significant. You have to move from where you
are. You have to become a great process, a growth. People have become stagnant
pools; they have to become rivers, because only rivers reach the ocean. And it
also means foundation, because it is the fundamental truth of life. Without
dhamma, without relating in some way to the ultimate truth, your life has no
foundation, no meaning, no significance, it cannot have any glory. It will be an
exercise in utter futility. If you are not bridged with the total you cannot
have any significance of your own. You will remain a driftwood -- at the mercy
of the winds, not knowing where you are going and not knowing who you are. The
search for truth, the passionate search for truth, creates the bridge, gives you
a foundation. These sutras that are compiled as THE DHAMMAPADA are to be
understood not intellectually but existentially. Become like sponges: let it
soak, let it sink into you. Don't be sitting there judging; otherwise you will
miss the Buddha. Don't sit there constantly chattering in your mind about
whether it is right or wrong -- you will miss the point. Don't be bothered
whether it is right or wrong.
The first, the most primary thing, is to understand what it is -- what Buddha is
saying, what Buddha is trying to say. There is no need to judge right now. The
first, basic need is to understand exactly what he means. And the beauty of it
is that if you understand exactly what it means, you will be convinced of its
truth, you will know its truth. Truth has its own ways of convincing people; it
needs no other proofs.
Truth never argues: it is a song, not a syllogism.
The sutras:
WE ARE WHAT WE THINK.
ALL THAT WE ARE ARISES WITH OUR THOUGHTS.
WITH OUR THOUGHTS WE MAKE THE WORLD.
It has been said to you again and again that the Eastern mystics believe that
the world is illusory. It is true: they not only believe that the world is
untrue, illusory, maya -- they know that it is maya, it is an illusion, a dream.
But when they use the word sansara -- the world -- they don't mean the objective
world that science investigates; no, not at all. They don't mean the world of
the trees and the mountains and the rivers; no, not at all. They mean the world
that you create, spin and weave inside your mind, the wheel of the mind that
goes on moving and spinning. Sansara has nothing to do with the outside world.
There are three things to be remembered. One is the outside world, the objective
world. Buddha will never say anything about it because that is not his concern;
he is not an Albert Einstein. Then there is a second world: the world of the
mind, the world that the psychoanalysts, the psychiatrists, the psychologists
investigate. Buddha will have a few things to say about it, not many, just a few
-- in fact, one: that it is illusory, that it has no truth, either objective or
subjective, that it is in between.
The first world is the objective world, which science investigates. The second
world is the world of the mind, which the psychologist investigates. And the
third world is your subjectivity, your interiority, your inner self.
Buddha's indication is towards the interiormost core of your being. But you are
too much involved with the mind. Unless he helps you to become untrapped from
the mind, you will never know the third, the real world: your inner substance.
Hence he starts with the statement: WE ARE WHAT WE THINK. That's what everybody
is: his mind. ALL THAT WE ARE ARISES WITH OUR THOUGHTS.
Just imagine for a single moment that all thoughts have ceased...then who are
you? If all thoughts cease for a single moment, then who are you? No answer will
be coming. You cannot say, "I am a Catholic," "I am a Protestant," "I am a
Hindu," "I am a Mohammedan" -- you cannot say that. All thoughts have ceased. So
the Koran has disappeared, the Bible, the Gita...all words have ceased! You
cannot even utter your name. All language has disappeared so you cannot say to
which country you belong, to which race. When thoughts cease, who are you? An
utter emptiness, nothingness, no-thingness.
It is because of this that Buddha has used a strange word; nobody has ever done
such a thing before, or since. The mystics have always used the word 'self' for
the interiormost core of your being -- Buddha uses the word 'no-self'. And I
perfectly agree with him; he is far more accurate, closer to truth. To use the
word 'self' -- even if you use the word 'Self' with a capital 'S', does not make
much difference. It continues to give you the sense of the ego, and with a
capital 'S' it may give you an even bigger ego.
Buddha does not use the words atma, 'self', atta. He uses just the opposite
word: 'no-self', anatma, anatta. He says when mind ceases, there is no self left
-- you have become universal, you have overflowed the boundaries of the ego, you
are a pure space, uncontaminated by anything. You are just a mirror reflecting
nothing.
WE ARE WHAT WE THINK. ALL THAT WE ARE ARISES WITH OUR THOUGHTS. WITH OUR
THOUGHTS WE MAKE THE WORLD.
If you really want to know who, in reality, you are, you will have to learn how
to cease as a mind, how to stop thinking. That's what meditation is all about.
Meditation means going out of the mind, dropping the mind and moving in the
space called no-mind. And in no-mind you will know the ultimate truth, dhamma.
And moving from mind to no-mind is the step, pada. And this is the whole secret
of THE DHAMMAPADA.
SPEAK OR ACT WITH AN IMPURE MIND
AND TROUBLE WILL FOLLOW YOU
AS THE WHEEL FOLLOWS THE OX THAT DRAWS THE CART.
Whenever Buddha uses the phrase 'impure mind' you can misunderstand it. By
'impure mind' he means mind, because all mind is impure. Mind as such is impure,
and no-mind is pure. Purity means no-mind; impurity means mind.
SPEAK OR ACT WITH AN IMPURE MIND -- speak or act with mind -- AND TROUBLE WILL
FOLLOW YOU.... Misery is a by-product, the shadow of the mind, the shadow of the
illusory mind. Misery is a nightmare. You suffer only because you are asleep.
And there is no way of escaping it while you are asleep. Unless you become
awakened the nightmare will persist. It may change forms, it can have millions
of forms, but it will persist.
Misery is the shadow of the mind: mind means sleep, mind means unconsciousness,
mind means unawareness. Mind means not knowing who you are and still pretending
that you know. Mind means not knowing where you are going and still pretending
that you know the goal, that you know what life is meant for -- not knowing
anything about life and still believing that you know.
This mind will bring misery as certainly AS THE WHEEL FOLLOWS THE OX THAT DRAWS
THE CART.
WE ARE WHAT WE THINK.
ALL THAT WE ARE ARISES WITH OUR THOUGHTS.
WITH OUR THOUGHTS WE MAKE THE WORLD.
SPEAK OR ACT WITH A PURE MIND
AND HAPPINESS WILL FOLLOW YOU
AS YOUR SHADOW, UNSHAKABLE.
Again, remember: when Buddha says "pure mind" he means no-mind. It is very
difficult to translate a man like Buddha. It is almost an impossible job,
because a man like Buddha uses language in his own way; he creates his own
language. He cannot use the ordinary language with ordinary meanings, because he
has something extraordinary to convey.
Ordinary words are absolutely meaningless in reference to the experience of a
Buddha. But you should understand the problem. The problem is, he cannot use an
absolutely new language; nobody will understand. It will look like gibberish.
That's how the word 'gibberish' came into existence. It comes from a Sufi; his
name was Jabbar. He invented a new language. Nobody was able to make head or
tail of it. How can you understand an absolutely new language? He looked like a
madman, uttering nonsense, utter nonsense. That's how it happens! If you listen
to a Chinese and you don't understand Chinese, it is utter nonsense.
Somebody was asking a man who had gone to China, "How do they find such strange
names for people? -- Ching, Chung, Chang...."
The man said, "They have a way: they collect all the spoons in the house and
they throw them upwards, and when those spoons fall down...ching! chung! chang!
or whatsoever sound they make, that's how they name a child."
But the same is the case: if a Chinese hears English he thinks, "What nonsense!"
If that is the case with languages which millions of people use, what will be
the case with a Buddha if he invents an original language? Only he will
understand it and nobody else. Jabbar did that -- must have been a very
courageous man. People thought that he was mad.
The English word 'gibberish' comes from Jabbar. Nobody knows what he was saying.
Nobody has even tried to collect it...how to collect it? There was no alphabet.
And what he was saying was making no sense at all, so we don't know what
treasures we have missed.
The problem for Buddha is that either he has to use your language as you use it
-- then he cannot convey his experience at all -- or he has to invent a new
language nobody will understand. So all great masters have to be very much in
the middle. They will use your language, but they will give your words their
color, their flavor. The bottles will be yours, the wine will be theirs. And
thinking that because the bottles are yours the wine is also yours, you will
carry them for centuries. And there is a possibility that, thinking that it is
your wine because the bottle is yours, sometimes you may drink out of it, you
may become drunk.
That's why it is very difficult to translate. Buddha used a language that was
understood by the people who surrounded him, but he gave twists and turns to
words in such a subtle way that even people who knew the language were not
alerted, were not shocked. They thought they were hearing their own language.
Buddha uses the words "pure mind" for no-mind, because if you say "no-mind,"
immediately it becomes impossible to understand. But if you say "pure mind,"
then some communication is possible. Slowly slowly, he will convince you that
pure mind means no-mind. But that will take time; very slowly you have to be
caught and trapped into a totally new experience. But remember always: pure mind
means no-mind, impure means mind.
By putting these adjectives, impure and pure, he is compromising with you so
that you don't become alerted too early and escape. You have to be allured,
seduced. All great masters are seductive -- that is their art. They seduce you
in such a way that slowly slowly, you are ready to drink anything, whatsoever
they give. First they supply you with ordinary water, then slowly slowly, wine
has to be mixed in it. Then water has to be withdrawn...and one day you are
completely drunk. But it has to be a very slow process.
As you go deeper into the sutras you will understand. Impure mind means mind,
pure mind means no-mind. And happiness will follow you if you have a pure mind
or no mind.... HAPPINESS WILL FOLLOW YOU AS YOUR SHADOW, UNSHAKABLE.
Misery is a by-product, so is bliss. Misery is a by-product of being asleep,
bliss is a by-product of being awake. Hence you cannot seek and search for bliss
directly, and those who seek and search for bliss directly are bound to fail,
doomed to fail. Bliss can be attained only by those who don't seek bliss
directly; on the contrary, they seek awareness. And when awareness comes, bliss
comes of its own accord, just like your shadow, unshakable.
"LOOK HOW HE ABUSED ME AND BEAT ME,
HOW HE THREW ME DOWN AND ROBBED ME."
LIVE WITH SUCH THOUGHTS AND YOU LIVE IN HATE.
"LOOK HOW HE ABUSED ME AND BEAT ME,
HOW HE THREW ME DOWN AND ROBBED ME."
ABANDON SUCH THOUGHTS, AND LIVE IN LOVE.
Something of profound importance: hate exists with the past and the future --
love needs no past, no future. Love exists in the present. Hate has a reference
in the past: somebody abused you yesterday and you are carrying it like a wound,
a hangover. Or you are afraid that somebody is going to abuse you tomorrow -- a
fear, a shadow of the fear. And you are already getting ready, you are getting
prepared to encounter it.
Hate exists in the past and the future. You cannot hate in the present -- try,
and you will be utterly impotent. Try it today: sit silently and hate somebody
in the present, with no reference to the past or the future...you cannot do it.
It cannot be done; in the very nature of things it is impossible. Hate can exist
only if you remember the past: this man did something to you yesterday -- then
hate is possible. Or this man is going to do something tomorrow -- then too hate
is possible. But if you don't have any reference to the past or the future --
this man has not done anything to you and he is not going to do anything to you,
this man is just sitting there -- how can you hate? But you can love.
Love needs no reference -- that's the beauty of love and the freedom of love.
Hate is a bondage. Hate is imprisonment -- imposed by you upon yourself. And
hate creates hate, hate provokes hate. If you hate somebody you are creating
hate in that person's heart for yourself. And the whole world exists in hate, in
destructiveness, in violence, in jealousy, in competitiveness. People are at
each other's throats either in reality, actuality, in action, or at least in
their minds, in their thoughts, everybody is murdering, killing. That's why we
have created a hell out of this beautiful earth -- which could have become a
paradise.
Love, and the earth becomes a paradise again. And the immense beauty of love is
that it has no reference. Love comes from you for no reason at all. It is your
outpouring bliss, it is your sharing of your heart. It is the sharing of the
song of your being. And sharing is so joyful -- hence one shares! Sharing for
sharing's sake, for no other motive.
But what love you have known in the past is not the love Buddha is talking about
or I am talking about. Your love is nothing but the other side of hate. Hence
your love has reference: somebody has been beautiful to you yesterday, so nice
he was that you feel great love for him. This is not love; this is the other
side of hate -- the reference proves it. Or somebody is going to be nice to you
tomorrow: the way he smiled at you, the way he talked to you, the way he invited
you to his house tomorrow -- he is going to be loving to you. And great love
arises.
This is not the love buddhas talk about. This is hate disguised as love --
that's why your love can turn into hate any moment. Scratch a person just a
little bit, and the love disappears and hate arises. It is not even skin-deep.
Even so-called great lovers are continuously fighting, continuously at each
other's throats -- nagging, destructive. And people think this is love....
You can ask Astha and Abhiyana -- they are in such a love that Astha is having a
black eye almost every day. Great fight! But when great fight goes on, people
think something is happening. When nothing is happening -- no fight, no quarrel
-- people feel empty. "It is better to be fighting than to be empty" -- that's
the idea of millions of people in the world. At least the fight keeps you
engaged, at least the fight keeps you involved, and the fight makes you
important. Life seems to have some meaning -- ugly meaning, but at least some
meaning.
Your love is not really love: it is its very opposite. It is hate disguised as
love, camouflaged as love, parading as love. True love has no reference. It
thinks not of the yesterdays, it thinks not of the tomorrows. True love is a
spontaneous welling up of joy in you...and the sharing of it...and the showering
of it...for no other reason, for no other motive, than just the joy of sharing
it.
The birds singing in the morning, this cuckoo calling from the distance...for no
reason. The heart is just so full of joy that a song bursts forth. When I am
talking about love I am talking about such love. Remember it. And if you can
move into the dimension of this love, you will be in paradise -- immediately.
And you will start creating a paradise on the earth.
Love creates love just as hate creates hate.
IN THIS WORLD
HATE NEVER YET DISPELLED HATE.
ONLY LOVE DISPELS HATE.
THIS IS THE LAW,
ANCIENT AND INEXHAUSTIBLE.
Aes dhammo sanantano -- this the law, eternal, ancient and inexhaustible.
What is the law? That hate never dispels hate -- darkness cannot dispel darkness
-- that only love dispels hate. Only light can dispel darkness: love is light,
the light of your being, and hate is the darkness of your being. If you are dark
inside, you go on throwing hate all around you. If you are light within,
luminous, then you go on radiating light around you.
A sannyasin has to be a radiant love, a radiant light.
AES DHAMMO SANANTANO.... Buddha repeats this again and again -- this is the
eternal law. What is the eternal law? Only love dispels hate, only light dispels
darkness. Why? -- because darkness in itself is only a negative state; it has no
positive existence of its own. It does not exist really -- how can you dispel
it? You cannot do anything directly to darkness. If you want to do anything to
darkness you will have to do something with light. Bring light in and darkness
is gone, take light out and darkness comes in. But you cannot bring darkness in
or out directly -- you cannot do anything with darkness. Remember, you cannot do
anything with hate either.
And that's the difference between moral teachers and religious mystics: moral
teachers go on propounding the false law. They go on propounding, "Fight with
darkness -- fight with hate, fight with anger, fight with sex, fight with this,
fight with that!" Their whole approach is, "Fight the negative," while the real,
true master teaches you the positive law: aes dhammo sanantano -- the eternal
law, "Do not fight with darkness." And hate is darkness, and sex is darkness,
and jealousy is darkness, and greed is darkness and anger is darkness.
Bring the light in....
How is the light brought in? Become silent, thoughtless, conscious, alert,
aware, awake -- this is how light is brought in. And the moment you are alert,
aware, hate will not be found. Try to hate somebody with awareness....
These are experiments to be done, not just words to be understood -- experiments
to be done. That's why I say don't try to understand only intellectually: become
existential experimenters.
Try to hate somebody consciously and you will find it impossible. Either
consciousness disappears, then you can hate; or if you are conscious, hate
disappears. They can't exist together. There is no coexistence possible: light
and darkness cannot exist together -- because darkness is nothing but the
absence of light.
The true masters teach you how to attain to God; they never say renounce the
world. Renunciation is negative. They don't tell you to escape from the world,
they teach you to escape into God. They teach you to attain to truth, not to
fight with lies. And lies are millions. If you go on fighting it will take
millions of lives, and still nothing will be attained. And truth is one; hence
truth can be attained instantly, this very moment it is possible.
YOU TOO SHALL PASS AWAY.
KNOWING THIS, HOW CAN YOU QUARREL?
Life is so short, so momentary, and you are wasting it in quarreling? Use the
whole energy for meditation -- it is the same energy. You can fight with it or
you can become a light through it.
HOW EASILY THE WIND OVERTURNS A FRAIL TREE.
SEEK HAPPINESS IN THE SENSES,
INDULGE IN FOOD AND SLEEP,
AND YOU TOO WILL BE UPROOTED.
Buddha says: Remember, if you depend on the senses you will remain very fragile
-- because senses cannot give you strength. They cannot give you strength
because they cannot give you a constant foundation. They are constantly in flux;
everything is changing. Where can you have a shelter? Where can you make a
foundation?
One moment this woman looks beautiful and another moment another woman. If you
just decide by the senses, you will be a constant turmoil -- you cannot decide
because senses go on changing their opinions. One moment something seems so
incredible, and another moment it is just ugly, unbearable. And we depend on
these senses.
Buddha says: Don't depend on senses -- depend on awareness. Awareness is
something hidden behind the senses. It is not the eye that sees. If you go to
the eye specialist he will say it is the eye that sees, but that is not true.
The eye is only a mechanism -- through which somebody else sees. The eye is only
a window; the window cannot see. When you stand at the window, you can look
outside. Somebody passing in the street may think, "The window is seeing me."
The eye is only a window, an aperture. Who is behind the eye?
The ear does not hear -- who is behind the ear who hears? Who is the one who
feels? Go on searching for that and you will find some foundation; otherwise,
your life will be just a dry leaf in the wind.
THE WIND CANNOT OVERTURN A MOUNTAIN.
TEMPTATION CANNOT TOUCH THE MAN
WHO IS AWAKE, STRONG AND HUMBLE,
WHO MASTERS HIMSELF AND MINDS THE LAW.
Meditation will make you awake, strong and humble. Meditation will make you
awake because it will give you the first experience of yourself. You are not the
body, you are not the mind -- you are the pure witnessing consciousness. And
when this witnessing consciousness is touched, a great awakening happens -- as
if a snake was sitting coiled up and suddenly it uncoils, as if somebody was
asleep and has been shaken and awakened. Suddenly a great awakening inside: for
the first time you feel you are. For the first time you feel the truth of your
being.
And certainly it makes you strong; you are no longer fragile, not like a frail
tree that any wind can overturn. Now you become a mountain! Now you have a
foundation, now you are rooted -- no wind can overturn a mountain. You become
awake, you become strong, and still you become humble. This strength does not
bring any ego in you. You become humble because you become aware that the same
witnessing soul exists in everybody, even in animals, birds, plants, rocks.
These are only different ways of sleeping! Somebody sleeps on the right side,
and somebody sleeps on the left side, and somebody sleeps on the back...these
are only different ways of sleeping. A rock has its own way of sleep, a tree a
different way of sleep, a bird still a different way -- but only differences in
the ways and methods of sleeping; otherwise deep down at the core of every being
is the same witnessing, the same God. That makes you humble. Even before a rock
you know you are nobody special, because the whole existence is made of the same
stuff called consciousness. And if you are awake, strong, and humble, this gives
you a mastery over yourself.
IF A MAN'S THOUGHTS ARE MUDDY,
IF HE IS RECKLESS AND FULL OF DECEIT,
HOW CAN HE WEAR THE YELLOW ROBE?
Buddha chose for his sannyasins the yellow robe, just as I have chosen the
orange. That is the difference between my approach and the Buddha's approach.
Yellow represents death -- the yellow leaf. Yellow represents the setting sun,
the evening.
Buddha emphasized death too much -- that's a way. If you emphasize death too
much, it helps: people become more and more aware of life in contrast to death.
And when you emphasize death again and again and again, you help people to
awaken. They have to be awake because death is coming. Whenever a new sannyasin
would be initiated by Buddha, he would tell him, "Go to the cemetery -- and just
be there and go on watching funeral pyres, dead bodies being carried,
burned...go on watching. And go on remembering this is going to happen to you
too. Three months' meditation on death, then come back." That was the beginning
of sannyas.
There are only two possible ways. One is, emphasize death; the other is,
emphasize life. Because these are the only two things in existence -- life and
death. Buddha chose death as a symbol; hence the yellow robe.
The orange represents life; it is the color of blood. It represents the morning
sun, the early dawn, the eastern sky becoming red. My emphasis is on life. But
the purpose is the same. I want you to be so passionately in love with life that
your very passion for life makes you aware, your very intensity to live it makes
you awake.
And death is in the future, and life is now, so if you think of death you will
be thinking of the future. If you think of death it will be an inference: you
will see somebody else dying, you will never see yourself dying. You can
imagine, you can infer, you can think, but this will be a thinking.
Life need not be thought, it can be lived. It can help you to be mindless more
than death can. Hence my choice is far better than Buddha's choice, because life
is right now; you need not go to a cemetery. All that you need is to be alert
and life is everywhere...in the flowers, in the birds, in the people around you,
the children laughing...and in you!...and right now! You need not think about
it, you need not infer it. You can just close your eyes and feel it -- you can
feel the tickle of it, you can feel the beat of it.
But both methods can be used: death can be used for you to become a meditator,
or life can be used -- my choice is life. And I emphasize and repeat that my
choice is far better than Buddha's. Buddha's choice of death as a symbol helped
this whole country to become dead, dull, insipid. My choice of life as the
symbol can revive this country -- not only this country but the whole world --
because it is not only the Buddha who has chosen death as a symbol, Christianity
has also chosen death as a symbol -- the cross. So the two greatest religions of
the world, Christianity and Buddhism, are death-oriented. And because of these
two religions.... And their impact has been the greatest: Christianity has
transformed the whole West, and Buddhism has transformed the whole East.
Jesus and Buddha have been the two greatest teachers, but the choice of death as
a symbol has been dangerous, has been a calamity. I choose life. I would like
this whole earth to be full of life, more and more life, pulsating life. But
what Buddha says about his yellow robe I would also say about my orange robe. He
says: IF A MAN'S THOUGHTS ARE MUDDY, IF HE IS RECKLESS AND FULL OF DECEIT, HOW
CAN HE WEAR THE YELLOW ROBE?
WHOEVER IS MASTER OF HIS OWN NATURE,
BRIGHT, CLEAR AND TRUE,
HE MAY INDEED WEAR THE ORANGE ROBE.
What he says about the yellow robe, I say about the orange robe: WHOEVER
IS...BRIGHT, CLEAR AND TRUE, HE MAY INDEED WEAR THE ORANGE ROBE.
