Back of the Book
You cannot explain what sweetness is to the man who has never tasted sweets. You can bring all your articulateness, but you cannot explain a simple thing, sweetness.

They themselves are offering, their own presence for you to taste it. Osho
Bodhidharma is named as the 26th Patriarch in the line emanating from Gautam Buddha. However, as Osho says, he shows even higher flights than Buddhawho would not accept any female disciplesas his master was the enlightened woman, Pragyatara.
