| Just the paradox of it: Manjushri, Sariputra, Moggalayan, Mahakashyapa became enlightened and remained disciples; still touching the feet of Buddha – not touching his hand! And people asked them...even Buddha has asked Manjushree, “Why do you touch my feet? There is no need. Now you are as much a buddha as I am! You are absolutely free...” --Osho Guida Spirituale, ch. 15 |
