Part VI : Laughing Meditation
Laughter needs a great learning, and laughter is a great medicine.
It can cure many of your tensions, anxieties, worries; the whole
energy can flow into laughter. And there is no need that there
should be some occasion, some cause.
In my meditation camps I used to have a laughing meditation:
for no reason, people would sit and just start laughing. At first
they would feel a little awkward that there was no reason - but
when everybody is doing it…they would also start. Soon,
everybody was in such a great laughter, people were rolling on
the ground. They were laughing at the very fact that so many people
were laughing for no reason at all; there was nothing, not even
a joke had been told. And it went on like waves.
So there is no harm…even just sitting in your room, close
the doors and have one hour of simple laughter. Laugh at yourself.
But learn to laugh.
Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease.
Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness
to you, and it will give you wings to fly.
And life is so full of opportunities. You just need the sensitivity.
And create chances for other people to laugh. Laughter should
be one of the most. And life is so full of opportunities. You
just need the sensitivity. And create chances for other people
to laugh. Laughter should be one of the most valued, cherished
qualities of human beings - because only man can laugh, no animals
are capable of it.
Because it is human, it must be of the highest order. To repress
it is to destroy a human quality. enligh27
