Acharya Prashant explains the Zen Koan of Tosui's vinegar, emphasizing that the body, image, or statue of the Buddha is not the true Buddha. He clarifies that enlightenment cannot have an image. Referring to the Bhagavad Gita, he notes that Shri Krishna teaches that those who worship deities with desire may attain temporary heavenly pleasures, but they must eventually return to this mortal world and suffer. Zen philosophy warns against becoming attached to any image, even that of the Buddha, because any Buddha one encounters or creates in the mind is a personal construction and therefore false. To 'kill the Buddha' means to destroy one's mental attachment and personal projections of the truth. He illustrates this with the story of a nun who was so attached to her small Buddha statue that her jealousy and possessiveness led her to accidentally blacken its face with incense smoke. This story serves as a warning that personal attachment to a 'private Buddha' is a hindrance to actual enlightenment. Acharya Prashant stresses the principle of emptiness, advising that one must remain empty even of the Buddha himself. If one becomes caught up in a single image or the historical persona of Siddhartha Gautama, they will inevitably become entangled in the thousands of images that constitute the world. True faith in enlightenment requires transcending all physical and mental images.
