Osho says that laughter is "the very essence of Zen." And though the  theme of this series is meditation - watching, remaining alert and aware  - as the only way to truth, Osho encourages us to, "be happy and  meditation will follow." There is a wonderful chapter on laughter, Hotei  the Laughing Buddha, and enlightenment. As Osho says, "This is the  whole effort of all the masters: to create a sudden clash of thunder so  those who are fast asleep can be awakened."
