Osho Ražnjić: This I call an authentic miracle: cutting the problem from the very roots. The first thing is to accept life as it is. Accepting it, desires disappear. Accepting life as it is, tensions disappear, discontent disappears; accepting it as it is, one starts feeling very joyful--and for no reason at all! When joy has a reason, it is not going to last long. When joy is without any reason, it is going to be there forever. It happened in the life of a very famous Zen woman. Her name was Rengetsu.... Very few women have attained to the Zen ultimate. This one is one of those rare women. She was on a pilgrimage and she came to a village at sunset and begged for lodging for the night, but the villagers slammed their doors. They were against Zen. Zen is so revolutionary, so utterly rebellious, that it is very difficult to accept it. By accepting it you are going to be transformed; by accepting it you will be passing through a fire, you will never be the same again. Traditional people have always been against all that is true in religion. Tradition is all that is untrue in religion. So those must have been traditional Buddhists in the town, and they didn't allow this woman to stay in the town; they threw her out. It was a cold night, and the old woman was without lodging, and hungry. She had to make her shelter underneath a cherry tree in the fields. It was really cold, and she could not sleep well. And it was dangerous too--wild animals and all. At midnight she awoke--because of too much cold--and saw, in the night sky, the fully-opened cherry blossoms laughing to the misty moon. Overcome with the beauty, she got up and bowed down in the direction of the village, with these words:
Through their kindness in refusing me lodging I found myself beneath the blossoms on the night of this misty moon... She feels grateful. With great gratitude she thanks those people who refused her lodging; otherwise she would be sleeping under an ordinary roof and she would have missed this blessing--these cherry blossoms, and this whispering with the misty moon, and this silence of the night, this utter silence of the night. She is not angry, she accepts it. Not only accepts it, welcomes it--she feels grateful. One becomes a buddha the moment one accepts all that life brings, with gratitude.

Osho Ražnjić:
This I call an authentic miracle: cutting the problem from the very roots.
The first thing is to accept life as it is. Accepting it, desires
disappear. Accepting life as it is, tensions disappear, discontent
disappears; accepting it as it is, one starts feeling very joyful--and
for no reason at all!
When joy has a reason, it is not going to last long. When joy is
without any reason, it is going to be there forever. It happened in
the life of a very famous Zen woman. Her name was Rengetsu.... Very
few women have attained to the Zen ultimate. This one is one of those
rare women.
She was on a pilgrimage and she came to a village at sunset and begged
for lodging for the night, but the villagers slammed their doors. They
were against Zen. Zen is so revolutionary, so utterly rebellious, that
it is very difficult to accept it. By accepting it you are going to be
transformed; by accepting it you will be passing through a fire, you
will never be the same again. Traditional people have always been
against all that is true in religion. Tradition is all that is untrue
in religion. So those must have been traditional Buddhists in the
town, and they didn't allow this woman to stay in the town; they threw
her out.
It was a cold night, and the old woman was without lodging, and

blossoms laughing to the misty moon. Overcome with the beauty, she got

With great gratitude she thanks those people who refused her lodging;

of the night. She is not angry, she accepts it. Not only accepts it,
