"Dedicating a Zen discourse to nature invites you to laugh beyond words and discover your own signature, transcending the secondhand and embracing the original."
According to Osho, dedicating a Zen discourse to nature—birds, bamboos, clouds—reconnects us with the original, not the carbon copy. Zen trusts nature over nurture, so such dedication invites laughter beyond words, drops secondhand scriptures, and urges you to find your own signature. Through the "Way of the Birds" meditation, you dive beyond body-mind, taste death-as-fiction, return silent and fragrant, and embody buddha-hood in daily life.
When Zen honors nature, you stop copying others, listen joyfully like the birds, go inside, and come back ready to live as your true kind self.
