Žádná voda, žádná luna - Rozjímání nad zenovými příbehy – Osho (2017)

Throw away the bucket of water – with your ego, with your mind, with your illusions. Let it fall apart: the water will disappear, the reflection of the moon will disappear – no water, no moon, emptiness in your hand... And that is enlightenment: when emptiness is in your hands, when everything is empty, when no one exists, not even you – because if you are here, the bucket is here, the old bucket. In this volume, the author introduces the reader to the essence of Zen and the true nature of enlightenment. Through a fresh presentation of Zen stories, he conveys the essence of Zen in all its beauty and mystery. His comments shake the monotonous stereotype of everyday life and open the way for us to understand the foundations of existence and to find our true self. The fact that you exist in this world is a dream; the reality is that you exist in divinity. The fact that you are at the market is a dream; the reality is that you have never left the center of existence, you have never left God. The fact that you went to the market is a dream – and a dream can continue indefinitely, it has no time limit. If you think you are a body, it is a dream – you have never been a body. If you think you were born and will die, it is a dream – you were never born and will never die, that is impossible.
