Question 1
Maneesha has asked:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
HOW AMAZING IT WOULD BE IF YOU TURNED UP ONE EVENING IN GAUTAM THE BUDDHA AUDITORIUM, AND ALL YOU COULD SEE WAS A VAST HALL OF EMPTY MIRRORS, OR ROWS AND ROWS OF JUICY, RIPE PLUMS.
DO YOU REALLY THINK IT'S POSSIBLE? IS ANYTHING HAPPENING? OR BETTER: IS NOTHING HAPPENING?

Maneesha, it is happening every day. The whole hall is full of mirrors and full of big plums. Look at Avirbhava, a dancing plum.
Now it has come to the point of laughter and Sardar Gurudayal Singh is sitting very close today. Now this is a series dedicated to him.

Luscious Miss Willing is having trouble sleeping. Her dreams and her reality are so full of sexual activity that she cannot tell what is real and what is not. So she goes to see Doctor Feelgood for professional help.
It is her first visit, so Feelgood hears her problem, then starts yakkety-yakking about all kinds of Freudian sexual terminology.
"Wait a minute," interrupts Miss Willing. "What is a phallic symbol?"
"A phallic symbol," explains Feelgood, "represents the phallus."
"Okay," says the girl, "what is a phallus?"
"I guess," says Feelgood, a grin on his face, "the best way to explain it is to show you." So Feelgood stands up, unzips his pants, and pulls out his machinery.
"This, young lady," says Feelgood, proudly, "is a phallus!"
"Oh!" says Miss Willing, smiling. "You mean it is like a prick, only smaller!"

The aging, dilapidated president, Ronald Reagan, is waiting to board the official presidential plane that is taking him to Europe.
His personal secretary Reginald, who has come to see him off, leans up to Ronnie and whispers, "What's your advice on the Homosexual Bill?"
"Oh, yes," says Reagan. "Tell him that I'll pay him when I get back!"

"I don't see you at the gang-bangs any more," says Marvyn, the Hell's Angel, to his old friend, Pigpen. "What happened?"
"I got married," says Pigpen.
"No shit, man!" says Marvyn. "Is legalized screwing any better than the regular kind?"
"It is not even so good," replies Pigpen, "but at least you don't have to stand in line for it!"

Fergus and Funky are lost in the baking deserts of the burning Sahara. They have been crawling on their hands and knees for days, in search of water. Almost at the end of their rope, they suddenly spot a man in the distance with a small stand, selling something.
Fergus and Funky struggle and crawl their way up to the man, and with their tongues hanging out they shout, "Water! Please give us water!"
"Sorry, fellas," says the man, "I'd love to, but I don't have any water. I'm selling neckties. Got some beauties if you'd like a sharp-looking tie!"
"Neckties?" screams Funky, and he faints.
"No," says Fergus, "we don't want any goddam ties -- we need water!"
And the two thirsty men drag themselves on.
Three days later, off in the distance, a large building appears on the horizon. Inspired, the worn-out duo drag themselves up to it. It is the very exclusive Screwing Sands Hotel.
Fergus crawls up to the doorman, who is standing stiffly in his three-piece uniform.
"Water!" cries Fergus, with his parched lips quivering. "We need to come in and get water!"
"I am sorry, sir," replies the doorman. "But I am afraid you cannot enter without a tie!"

Nivedano...

(Drumbeat)

(Gibberish)

Nivedano...

(Drumbeat)

Be silent. Close your eyes.
Feel the body to be completely frozen.
Look inwards as deeply as possible.
This is the way.
At the very end of the way, you are the buddha.
And the journey is very short -- a single step.
Just total urgency and absolute honesty is needed
to look straight into your own being.
There is the mirror we have been talking about.
The mirror is the buddha.
It is your eternal nature.
Deeper and deeper.
You have to go in until you find yourself.
Don't hesitate.
There is no fear.
Of course you are alone,
but this aloneness is a great, beautiful experience.
And on this path you will not meet anyone except yourself.
To make it clear that you are just a mirror,
a witness of your body, of your mind, of everything,
Nivedano...

(Drumbeat)

Relax,
and just be a watchful, witnessing mirror,
reflecting everything.
Neither do those things have any intentions to be reflected,
nor do you have any intention
to catch their reflections.
Just be a silent lake of Hirosawa,
and all bliss is yours,
and this evening becomes a benediction.
This present moment becomes no-mind, no-time,
just a purity, a space unbounded.
This is your freedom.
And unless you are a buddha, you are not free.
You know nothing of freedom.
Let this experience sink deep
in every fiber of your being.
Get soaked, drenched.
When you come back, come back drenched
with the mist of your buddha nature.
And remember this space, this way,
because you have to carry it out twenty-four hours
in all your actions.
Sitting, standing, walking, sleeping,
you have to remain a buddha.
Then the whole existence becomes an ecstasy.
Nivedano...

(Drumbeat)

Come back,
but bring with you all the experience,
slowly, silently, gracefully.
Sit down for a few moments,
recollecting the place you have been to,
remembering the joy and the silence
of being just a mirror,
the immense freedom that comes
when you are just a mirror
unattached to anything, homeless, alone.
You become an Everest of consciousness.

Okay, Maneesha?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas?
Yes, Beloved Master.
