THE ORIGINAL MAN
Chapter 3: Look in and find it
Question 1
Energy Enhancement Enlightened Texts Zen The Original Man
Question 1
Anando has asked:
OUR BELOVED MASTER,
SHOITSU HAD THREE LEVELS OF DEVICE, BUT I SUSPECT YOU HAVE A LOT MORE THAN THAT UP YOUR ABUNDANT SLEEVE. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE TOO, ARE PURE AND TRUE, BEFORE YOU WILL REVEAL YOUR DEVICES TO US?
Anando, each and every moment I am devoting to you. My work was long ago finished as far as I am concerned. I am living for you.
Each moment I am creating devices for you. My hope is to spread the fire around the world. Up to now the greatest buddhas have remained confined to very small places. For example Gautam Buddha, the greatest, remained confined to a small state, Bihar; he never went out of Bihar. Perhaps I am the only one who is concerned with the whole world.
I would like, in every country, hundreds of buddhas. And it is so simple that it can be done -- just a little support from your side, Anando. It cannot be done against you. It can be done only if you are open, available, waiting for it -- then it is going to happen.
This time the transmission of the lamp is going to happen to millions of people.
Those old buddhas had a very small company; my company is worldwide. I don't belong to any nation, to any religion, and I don't want you to belong to any nation or any religion. I want you to belong to the whole universe and spread the fire!
Carry whatever experience you gain here, because I cannot move. I wanted to move around the world for the remainder of my life, but every country believes that I am a dangerous man. I will not say that they are wrong -- I am a dangerous man. But it does not matter whether I go anywhere or not, I can remain here in my room, and those who have the potential of becoming buddhas will reach me from every nook and corner of the world. They will carry the fire around the world, spreading it.
This time is a very ripe time.
Either the buddhas are going to win or the ugly politicians are going to destroy the whole earth, the whole of life. The whole contribution of all the poets, painters, sculptors, dancers, mystics, they are ready to destroy at any moment. Only one thing can prevent them from destroying the world, and that is spreading meditation, silence, love, joy, dance; making the whole life a celebration, a continuous ongoing festival.
That is the meaning of your name, Anando; it means bliss. And since yesterday your name has gained a new title.
For centuries you will be remembered as, Anando: The Hot Potato Buddha...!
Swami Bharti Barfi is sitting in Bodhidharma Tea Garden with Swami Beyondananda.
"Hey, man!" says Barfi. "Your girlfriend... wow! Every day I see her with a different guy!"
"Really?" replies Beyondananda. "It can't be true."
"Come with me," says Barfi, and the two friends go to the smoking temple.
There is Beyondananda's girlfriend, Ma Mango Milkshake, wrapped around another man.
"See!" says Barfi. "Aren't you going to go over there and primally encounter that guy to show him what you learned in your group?"
"Well," sighs Beyondananda. "Let's meditate for a few minutes until she grabs someone more skinny!"
Grandma Swinger goes to see Doctor Gasbag for a medical checkup.
"Mrs. Swinger," says Gasbag, "you are sixty-five years old. Your health is perfect, but I have one question for you. Your record here shows you as Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Goldstein, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones. You have been married four times. But I see you are still a virgin. I don't get it!"
"Oh," says Grandma, "it is easy. My first husband was a poet, so he only dreamed about it. Then I married a musician -- he only played with it. Then I married a weather forecaster -- he always missed it. And finally, I married a plumber. I've called him twenty times already, but he never shows up!"
Harvey Hornbee owns the Weird Wild Animals pet shop. His store is famous for strange creatures of all kinds -- eccentric pets for exotic people.
One afternoon, luscious Miss Willing walks in and approaches Harvey.
"Hello," she says, seductively. "I'm looking for a pet that will keep me from feeling lonely at night."
"Well," Harvey splutters, eyeing the woman up and down, "I've got just what you want. Follow me."
He leads Miss Willing to a black curtain. Throwing it open, he reveals a huge, soft velvet pillow. Sitting in the center of it is a very large and handsome frog, named Doobee-doo.
"This magnificent frog," says Harvey, "will make wild and passionate love to you."
"Really?" replies Miss Willing, giggling over the frog. "I can't believe it!"
"Okay," says Harvey, enthusiastically. "Just undress, lay back on the pillow, and Doobee-doo will do the rest."
The shop bell rings and Harvey goes out, drawing the curtain behind him.
Half an hour later, Harvey goes to check up on the amorous couple. He opens the curtain to see Miss Willing sprawled naked on the pillow, with a disappointed look on her face.
"What is the matter?" asks Harvey.
"That frog just sits there and looks at me!" she replies.
"Really?" says Harvey, shaking his head in disbelief. He picks up Doobee-doo and sits the frog on the side of the pillow.
"Okay, Frog! Pay attention!" exclaims Harvey, exposing his own machinery, "It is the last time I'm going to show you how to do this!"

Be silent... close your eyes. Feel your body to be absolutely frozen, no movement. Gather all your life energy and consciousness deep inwards.
Find out the deepest point. The deeper you go within, the closer you are to yourself.
At the deepest point you are the buddha. Feel it as deeply as possible. It is your own territory -- nobody can enter here. It is absolutely your space, your universe. There is no need to fear.
With freedom, open yourself. This moment you are the eternal buddha, the luminous buddha, the ultimate principle of life and existence.
To make it more clear...
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Relax. Just feel the body lying there, the mind lying there and you are just a watcher. This way you will reach to the deepest and the innermost core of your being.
Just be a witness.
Remember this space around the day, running like an undercurrent, and your whole lifestyle will start changing.
You will be surprised yourself. The things that you are saying, the gestures that you are making are so new, are so fresh.
You have found the original man.
Nivedano...
(Drumbeat)
Come back, but come back with the original man throbbing in your heart, the buddha, not a memory but a living experience.
Sit down for a few moments just to recollect the experience, to drink it deeply. Be drowned in it. Let it sink into every fiber and cell of your life.
There is no other virtue in the world other than to be the original man. We call the original man the buddha because he is dropping sleep, and waking up. The word `buddha' means the awakened one.
And everybody who can sleep is capable of being awake. Whatever you have done in your sleeping stage has been nothing but dream.
You may have been a saint or you may have been a sinner, it does not matter. Once you are awake you are just pure clean space.
Okay, Anando?
Yes, Beloved Master.
Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas?
Yes!
