How can there be any psychology of the Buddhas if Buddha is a state of no-mind?

Only a Buddha, standing on the hilltop of no-mind, can illuminate the valleys of the mind with clarity and freedom from prejudice. True psychology arises not from the mind, but from the stillness beyond it.

— Osho
According to Osho, only Buddhas can found a true psychology: from the state beyond mind they have the distance, clarity, and freedom from prejudice to see the mind objectively. No-mind itself can’t be systematized, but it can illuminate the valleys of mind from the hilltop. Psychologies built from within mind—Freud, Adler, Jung—are colored fictions; a real psychology would be singular and unbiased.

Like someone who climbed out of a muddy river, a Buddha can clearly describe the water; those still splashing inside can only guess.
