Can one buddha speak on behalf of all buddhas, and why were there differences among them in the past?

All buddhas share one taste of truth; the differences arise only from our conditioned interpretations and the need for varied expressions. In the realm of silence, there is no disagreement—only techniques to guide the seeker.

— Osho
According to Osho, all buddhas share one taste of truth; thus any buddha can speak for all. Apparent differences come from our conditioned interpretations, changing languages, and differing audiences that required varied methods and emphases. At the level of silence there is no disagreement—only in techniques. Don’t idolize non-difference either; drop the mind and see.

Deep down, all enlightened ones mean the same thing; we just hear it differently, so they teach in different ways for different people.
