According to Osho, he is not only the first Buddha who jokes but also the last—because he intends to tell every joke, leaving none untold. This bold, playful claim highlights his embrace of humor within the spiritual path, overturning excessive solemnity and signaling that laughter, lightness, and surprise can catalyze awareness and dismantle rigid seriousness.
He says he’s the first and last funny Buddha, using jokes to help people wake up.
