What is the teaching that is not mind, not Buddha, and not things?

definition
"The true teaching is a silent transmission that cannot be captured in words; it is not about concepts, ideals, or objects, but about the living presence that invites you to awaken."
According to Osho, the true 'teaching' is a no-teaching: a silent, living transmission that cannot be said, only imbibed. It is beyond mind (concepts), beyond Buddha (ideals and authorities), and beyond things (objects). The master’s very being points like a finger to the moon; the disciple learns by openness, presence, and heartful resonance—not by ideas.
It’s not words or stuff; it’s the quiet understanding you catch by being open near someone who lives the truth.
Why this matters practically
