Osho on Being a Buddha

Today the discourse was on Being a Buddha. What does that mean?

It means distinguishing between knowledge and knowing. Knowledge is storing up information in the intellect. Knowing is coming from a deep place within that comes from experience in life and actually using the head.

He said the only way to become a Buddha (an enlightened one) is to go into your fear rather than avoid it. He said enlightened beings use courage and risk going to that which most people would avoid in life. He said, "When you go into your fear, you find love. When you go into your anger, you find compassion. When you go into your sex, you find samadhi (enlightenment)."

He went on to discuss that hell is here on earth in us. The only way there can be heaven on earth is to go into that which we avoid and by so doing become peaceful.

I am mentioning this to you as I write today because I want to acknowledge those of you who have come with me along this Tantric path and faced all those things. You have trusted the processes over and over again and faced your fear, your anger, your sexuality, your pain, your suffering, your craziness - everything. You've done Dynamic Meditation, Emotional Release, Latihan, Bodyhan, Tantrahan, Kalihan, Tibetan Rebirthing, Puja, Yogaboxing and danced till you dropped. I acknowledge you for going there. I know we are bringing heaven to earth.

How I know is because right now I am in heaven.

We are all becoming Buddhas.

Namaste,
Laurie

Sounds like my only taking clients for healing who are willing to dive into their deepest pain and darkness.

Nice confirmation.

Yes, that is what we are creating spaces where the perfect people come because they are attracted to the vibration that will be the best for them to do theri work. And of course, then come the resistance. And then they come abck over and over again or not. It is all perfect.

I actually assert that only the perfect clients show up to you. People who do not have such a store of deepest darkness and pain may not necessarily become your clients. The mirror is the mirror.

It is my sense that whatever the "level" of the darkness reservoir may be from the beginning of their soul, until they consciously embrace all of that they will not be able to embrace their divinity.
It is All One.
