What is the message to modern prominent Buddhists in Nepal?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Be a Buddha, not a Buddhist; embrace your own journey of discovery and let go of inherited identities and guilt."
According to Osho, drop the label 'Buddhist' and be a Buddha: an original, living seeker rather than a carbon copy. Learn from Gautam Buddha’s own rebellion—he left teachers, abandoned self-torture, ate without guilt, and trusted his insight. Move beyond sectarian identity, scriptures, and inherited guilt; rely on awareness, intelligence, and personal discovery to realize truth.
Don’t just follow Buddhism as a label—be brave like Buddha, trust yourself, stop copying, and live without guilt.
