Buddham Saranam Gacchami Osho ✨

The ferryman laughed gently. “That is the first mistake. Osho says: When you go to the Buddha, you are two. But the truth is not two. There is no seeker and no destination. There is only the seeking itself — empty, silent, aware.”

Buddham Saranam Gacchami is not a journey. It is the end of the traveler. “When you go to the Buddha, you are missing the point. You have to become the Buddha. Not going somewhere — but waking up where you are.” buddham saranam gacchami osho

The ferryman continued: “You chant Buddham Sharanam Gacchami as if the Buddha is a person outside you. But Osho’s Buddha is not Gautama the prince. Osho’s Buddha is your own awareness when the ‘I’ disappears. To go for refuge to the Buddha means to drop the ego — the one who thinks ‘I am going, I am seeking, I am suffering.’” The ferryman laughed gently

“So… what should I do?” he whispered. But the truth is not two

“Scholar-ji,” the ferryman said, “you chant Buddham Sharanam Gacchami — but tell me, who is going where?”

Just then, an old ferryman approached, his face weathered but eyes sparkling like a child’s. He carried no scriptures, no malas. He simply smiled.
