What path did the first Buddhas among human beings follow, and who was their master?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"There is no first Buddha; Buddhas have always blossomed, guided by the eternal law of existence that awakens from within."
According to Osho, speaking of a “first” Buddha is mistaken: existence is beginningless, and Buddhas have always flowered. Meditation and awareness are the timeless path recurring in every cycle. Therefore the so‑called first among humans had no outer guru; their master was the eternal law of existence—the Dharma itself—guiding awakening from within.
There was no first Buddha; people always awaken through meditation, learning from life itself inside them.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from history to practice: start meditating now.
- Trust inner guidance and existence rather than seeking a perfect external guru.
- See awakening as natural and timeless, accessible to anyone.
