God is Dead, Now Zen is the Only Living Truth

CHAPTER 1

God is a puppeteer
6 February 1989 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium

OUR BELOVED MASTER,
ON THEIR FIRST MEETING, SEIGEN ASKED SEKITO, ”WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?” AND
SEKITO REPLIED, ”I COME FROM SOKEI.”
SEIGEN HELD UP A WHISK AND SAID, ”DID YOU FIND THIS OVER THERE?”
SEKITO REPLIED, ”NO, NOT ONLY WAS IT NOT OVER THERE, BUT IT WAS ALSO NOT IN THE
WEST LAND.”
SEIGEN ASKED, ”YOU REACHED THE WEST LAND, DIDN’T YOU?” TO WHICH SEKITO
REPLIED, ”IF I HAD REACHED, I COULD HAVE FOUND IT.”
SEIGEN SAID, ”NOT YET ENOUGH – SPEAK FURTHER.”
SEKITO REPLIED, ”YOU SHOULD ALSO SPEAK FROM YOUR SIDE. HOW IS IT YOU URGE
ONLY ME?”
SEIGEN SAID, ”THERE’S NO PROBLEM FOR ME IN ANSWERING YOU, BUT NOBODY WOULD
AGREE WITH IT.” SEIGEN CONTINUED, ”WHEN YOU WERE AT SOKEI, WHAT DID YOU GET
THERE?”
SEKITO REPLIED, ”EVEN BEFORE GOING TO SOKEI, I HADN’T LOST A THING.” THEN SEKITO
ASKED, ”WHEN YOU WERE IN SOKEI, DID YOU KNOW YOURSELF?”
SEIGEN SAID, ”HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU KNOW ME NOW?”
SEKITO ANSWERED, ”YES, I DO. HOW CAN I KNOW YOU ANY FURTHER?” HE CONTINUED,
”OSHO, SINCE YOU LEFT SOKEI, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STAYING HERE?”
SEIGEN REPLIED, ”I DO NOT KNOW EITHER. AND YOU, WHEN DID YOU LEAVE SOKEI?”
SEKITO SAID, ”I DON’T COME FROM SOKEI.”
SEIGEN RESPONDED, ”ALL RIGHT – NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU COME FROM.”
SEKITO SAID, ”OSHO, YOU ARE A GREAT ONE – DO NOT WASTE TIME.”
