This
discourse, commenting on Bodhidharma's teachings, goes into the nature
of our attachment to 'appearances' and the fear and clinging
this attachment creates. A very provocative and insightful discourse.
'Everybody
is going to pass through the gates of death some day. If you can remember
that you are only pure consciousness – not the body, not the
mind nor the heart, not your money, not your prestige, not your power,
not your house, but pure consciousness – then you can pass through
the barrier of death unscratched ... Death has power over you only
if you are attached. Freedom from attachment makes you capable of
entering into the universal light and becoming one with it and that
is the greatest blessing, the ultimate ecstasy beyond which nothing
else exists. You have come home.' Osho
