What happens when a master transforms their disciples and the teachings of the past?

outcome
"A true master does not preserve the past; he revitalizes it, transforming both teachings and disciples into awakened buddhas through the alchemy of his own realization."
According to Osho, a true master doesn’t preserve the past; he revitalizes it. He raises earlier teachings to the height of his present clarity, integrating new insights, and speaks only from his own realization. In disciples, this alchemy shifts them from sleeping to awakened buddhas through witnessing the inner center. Thus both disciples and doctrines evolve—like refining a bullock cart into a Rolls Royce—without betraying essential truth.
