Zen: All the Colors of the Rainbow

In these Zen-series Osho makes a distillation of religiousness at its purest. In a very playful and humorous way he exposes the traditional religions.

'Zen is the most unique phenomenon in the whole world of religions. Zen is the highest peak that religion has attained yet. It is the sanest religion.'

The Language of Existence
Understanding death: is seeing that death is simply a separation from the body. The body is dying, not the soul. To go beyond life-and-death there is no certain technique. The essential thing is to see through....

The Buddha: The Emptiness of the Heart
The "empty heart" is the door of eternity within everyone

The Miracle
The way of a Zen master is strange, the support he gives his disciple to GET IT are hits, and as Osho goes along to describe this unique play he unfolds the central message of Zen: Nothingness!  Everything comes from nothingness.

The Original Man
What is original about the original man? That you only can find him inside yourself.

Turning in
"The mind is just like dust in water. If you are patient enough the dust will settle & the crystal-clear water will be there reflecting the full moon.

The series comes with a box, but each book contains a whole discourse series complete in itself describing a specific aspect of Zen.

The World of Zen
Osho speaks on incidents in the work and play between various Zen masters and their disciples. This series sees the introduction of the powerful No Mind Meditation and also gives an explanation with demonstration of the Osho Mystic Rose Meditation

Each volume describes a particular aspect of ZEN:
Y Live Zen
...a new therapy is born, therapy through gibberish
'We are just signatures on water. Even before we are complete, we start disappearing.'

Y Zen: The diamond Thunderbolt
...is the experience of being shocked out of ones spiritual sleep
Y This. This. A thousand Times This
...starts with the a powerful demonstration of the Mystic Rose
Y Zen: The quantum Leap from Mind to No-Mind
...anything more to say?
YZen: The solitary Bird, Cuckoo of the Forest
In these moments when we enter our being, mind disappears and meditation IS

5 volumes in a boxed set

‘Zen is the most essential religion -- without anything unnecessary. Just the core, the essential. You can call it religion, you can call it science, it does not matter what name you give to it. In its pure simplicity it is experiencing your own being. And the moment you experience your own being, you have experienced the being of this whole universe because your heartbeat is part of the heartbeat of the universe.’

 

The Ancient Masters of Zen
Masters among themselves: an unforgettable adventure hearing
Osho talking about the ancient Zen-masters. He loves them and all his love is pouring out while talking about the uncountable stories: ZEN

RINZAI: Master of the Irrational
The master who created the shout! As a device to shock the mind.
Osho states ".....it is only a question of time, but everyone is going to become a Buddha."

JOSHU: The Lions Roar
Only by being single-pointed one will be reaching true authenticity...

Now Sardar Gurudayal Singh is repressing his desire. He wants to laugh even while I am speaking. But he has to suppress it because it will be very embarrassing, particularly for an old disciple. So he keeps suppressing it and waiting for his time. And his time comes....
Three sailors - a German, an American and a Polack - are in a pub drinking a few beers.
"Our submarines can stay under water for a half a year," brags the German sailor.
"That's nothing," says the American, swallowing his beer and wiping his lips. "Our nuclear submarines can stay under water for one whole year!"
"Hey," says the Polack sailor, spilling his beer. "That is really nothing. Our submarines dive down and never come up!"

NANSEN: The Point of Departure
The spiritual is not apart from the material.

MA TZU: The Empty Mirror
To see things as they are, one has to be an empty mirror, clean, clear, without any prejudices,
without any judgments. Don’t react - just be - reflect.

DOGEN, the Zen Master: A Search and a Fulfillment
The running theme of Dogen’s message of 800 years ago is the eternity of our consciousness, a consciousness with no limitations and that exists through all changes of form.

HYAKUJO: The Everest of Zen
As Hyakujo is stating: work & meditation go hand in hand..., he was developing the
Zen monasteries with the motto: "One day without working, a day without food."

ISAN: No Footprints in the blue Sky
Our upbringing is focused to leave the biggest footprints, to leave our mark...., and
can one leave these upbringing behind he will find a whole empty sky.
