Why should a Buddha and a Bodhisattva need to talk at all?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True communication between a Buddha and a Bodhisattva transcends words; it is a silent communion where the essence is felt in the spaces between."
According to Osho, a Buddha and a Bodhisattva need not talk at all—the real transmission is a silent communion between two emptinesses. Words are only compassionate devices, maps and milestones for the blind, used to point beyond themselves. Even when they speak, each word cancels itself through contradiction, leaving only the felt silence. The message lives in the gaps, not the sentences.
Why this matters practically
- Listen for the silence and space between words, not just content.
- Treat teachings as pointers; don't cling to doctrines.
- Cultivate presence and quiet to receive deeper understanding.
