    BELOVED OSHO,

    WHY IS YOUR WAY CALLED 'THE WAY OF THE
    WHITE CLOUDS'?


    Just before Buddha died somebody asked him:
    When a buddha dies where does he go?

    Does he survive or simply disappear into
    nothingness? This is not a new question, it is one
    of the oldest, many times repeated and asked.
    Buddha is reported to have said: Just like a white
    cloud disappearing....

    This very morning there were white clouds in the
    sky. Now they are there no more. Where have
    they gone? From where do they come? How do
    they evolve, and how do they dissolve again? A
    white cloud is a mystery, the coming, the going,
    the very being of it. That's the first reason why I
    call my way The Way of the White Clouds.

    But there are many reasons, and it is good to
    ponder, to meditate upon them. A white cloud
    exists without any roots. It is an unrooted
    phenomenon, grounded nowhere or grounded in
    the nowhere. But still it exists. The whole of
    existence is like a white cloud: without any roots,
    without any causality, without any ultimate cause,
    it exists. It exists as a mystery...
