OSHO ON ZEN
'Without
science,' Osho says, 'the East has lost much; without
meditation the West has lost much. I am trying to bring together East
and West, because together they will create the whole.'
Osho speaks of Zen as a
possible bridge not only between East and West, but between science and
religion as well.
Reading Osho on Zen is like a
meditation in and unto itself. You will throw off the accumulated 'knowing' of a lifetime; let go of physical, mental, and
emotional tensions; relax into the flow of an extraordinary discourse;
and become silent. As you do this, you will be receptive to the present
moment and the potential therein.
Zen
goes beyond Buddha and beyond Lao Tzu. It is a culmination. |

One Seed Makes the Whole
Earth Green
'Zen
is the seed, pregnant with infinite potential. The only true religion which has
not put fetters on mankind.'
Kyozan: A true Man of Zen
Kyozan was such a simple and ordinary
man that, as his own master put it, if it was possible for him to become
enlightened, than it is possible for anyone. These discourses - based on
anecdotes about Kyozan’s life and on a selection of exquisite haikus - are
filled with that
promise. Osho uses Kyozan’s life to make Zen
as accessible to the contempory man.

A Bird on the Wing
TALKS ON ZEN
Religion
has always been
against ‘roots’ - worldly pleasures, and for ‘wings’
renunciation. In these eleven Zen
stories, Osho shows that there is no choice to be made: that wings
cannot develop without roots. He says we should accept the roots. He
says we should accept the roots and explore them deeply and consciously,
and they will blossom into the wings of transcendence.

Ancient Music in the Pines
A fascinating collection of
talks on Zen
stories.
In her introduction Shunyo says: '..to hear the
ancient music, mind has to be put aside.' Osho starts off this
discourse series to explain the mind, and then step by step points the
way to let the mind pass... getting ready to hear the ancient music in
the pines.

On no other subject Osho has talked more than on Zen. And a
most important part in all these talks have been the numerous jokes, laughter
bursting out and the gibberish meditation. Evening for evening Osho leads
10000 buddhas from cleansing out the dust into no mind.
‘At this moment you are the buddha.
Take care of the buddha twenty-four hours; cultivate the buddha twenty-four
hours. Not for a single moment forget to remember your buddhahood.
As your remembrance deepens, as your awareness becomes clear, as you dissolve
into your witnessing, the buddha spontaneously arises -- in your actions, in
your words, in your silences.
He becomes your whole life, and a life of great joy, a life of blessings, a life
which is pure poetry, essential music, an eternal dance.’
Can we celebrate the ten thousand buddhas?
Yes, Beloved Master.

RETURNING
TO THE SOURCE
That's what life is all about:
returning to the source, returning to the center of the cyclone,
returning to your very being. In this book, Osho talks straight to the
point of self realization, gives guidance and makes clear that what
happens in our life is our own creation.
The very essence of
no-nonsense-Zen.
Existence
is not divided into either-or, it has no duality.
