Zen Is Medicine

"We have all the medicine that we need," were the words floating on the surface of my mind, as I awoke this morning. It was followed a few moments later with the question, "Do I really believe that?" Instantly a response emerged, "Yes, without pause."

As I continue to make a study of Genjo Marinello Osho's recent teisho, "Three Turning Words," I heard him softly saying, "We stop straining and really let go... This... Is... It... This... Is... It... We realize [we've] always been It. Couldn't be anything but It, and It's so alive. It doesn't have to be animate or inanimate. It's so alive... It's so rich... It's so pure... It's so simple... It's so real..." It's the ground of being from which our very life springs. It's perfect, without hesitation or pause.

There's a healing that needs to take place for each of us. Some notice that we've been wounded (with ego) and others don't even vaguely notice. It's largely caused by defense mechanisms, causing us to miss what is in plain sight.

Zen... The Way of Unification is medicine. Zen re-introduces us to our fundamental and essential seamlessness that is the fabric of our Being. And in This moment of seamless Being, there's no sickness, old age, death and no suffering. Just This... uninterrupted... unimpeded... Being.

At times, when I've been with Genjo Osho, I've felt his Mind was saying, "Seiho! Why are you zig-zagging, when You could go straight ahead. Do You not see, there is no barrier which is in Your way, other than your disoriented and distracted Mind? Take Your medicine and please sit some more."

Zen is Medicine. Please don't take my word for it. Painted cakes never satisfy those who are starving. Practice zazen and try This medicine for Yourself. Let us know the results.
