The longer a person has been dead the greater is the tradition... If Buddha is alive you can barely tolerate him... You cannot believe this man has known the ultimate because he looks just like you... Hungry he needs food, sleepy he wants a bed, ill, he has to rest - just like you...

Alive, you crucify him; dead, you worship him. ✨ When the Shoe Fits: Talks on the Stories of the Taoist Mystic Chuang Tzu. Book by Rajneesh, 1976.
