~ Osho in The Cypress in the Garden

 "When love reaches its climax it is a full moon. It is no accident that the full moon has always represented - in all cultures, in all societies, in all ages - the night of love.

In fact, we call it the mad lover and we also call madman lunatic, moon abducted Lunatics come from the moon Both are mad! Both were moon abducted

The latest research says a lot more people fall in love when the moon is getting closer to its peak; and very few people were enlightened on any other night except the night of the full moon.

Buddha was born in the light of the full moon, he was enlightened on the night of the full moon, died on the night of the full moon, the same full moon, in the same month. It really represents all the Buddhas of all ages, past, present and future.

The full moon has always attracted poets, painters, lovers. People who have some aesthetic sense, who have sensitivity, have always felt a magnetic attraction to the moon. It's not just the ocean that becomes affected by the full moon.

Inside of us there is also some ocean that becomes affected and big waves start to rise."
