These discourses were given during the first meditation camps in which Osho spoke in English. Covers a different theme based on the sutra being discussed, and  translates its ancient wisdom into the language of today. Instructions as he leads Dynamic Meditation, one of the most profound techniques available to seekers  today.

Osho refers to these ancient discourses as the most profound insights  into nature - not tenets of a doctrine or philosophical treatises but  existential insights. Of their originator, the famous 6th-century  scholar Ko Hsuan, nothing is known except that he is an enlightened  master of the caliber of Lao Tzu. Osho explains why Tao is called "the  golden gate" - to indicate that God is not a person but an entrance, an opening that happens internally when the seeker is ready.

This discourse takes flight from the obscure song of the Tibetan master, Tilopa,  to explain in simple language the mystical insights hidden in Tantra. A  classic that explains Tantra as a method to expand man's consciousness.

Osho introduces the mystery, the wonder, and the emptiness that is Zen.  He uses the poetry of one of the most outrageous Zen masters, Ikkyu, to  show the ways and methods a Zen master uses to permanently transform,  rather than simply inform. Osho and Ikkyu’s whole message is about how  to experience the essence of emptiness: that blissful state of no-mind  where all old conditionings are gone and man is free just to be himself.  As Osho speaks of Ikkyu, and answers people’s questions, he is also  speaking of himself. As he speaks of who Ikkyu is, he is revealing more  about himself.

Rinzai, who brought Zen from China to Japan, is truly a master of the  irrational - a Zen master who sticks his tongue out at one disciple and  who created the shout as a device to shock the mind. Osho continually  reminds us that it is only a question of time, that everyone is going to  become a buddha. He encourages the reader not to believe, but to  experience - to have the trust that "if so many people can become  enlightened, there is no reason why I cannot." In this small volume he  also comments on the timeless paintings-in-words of the famous haiku  writer, Ikkyu.

Zen is an experience, not a dogma, and an experience which transcends  the confines of the rational mind, moving into the super-rational arena  of our consciousness. Through words, Osho creates a sense of existential  silence from which all words manifest. At the same time, he shines the  light of understanding on many inner barriers to growth and  self-realization.

Interviews with the world press.

These discourses contain what to Osho is the most significant statement  made anywhere on the earth at any time, the whole secret of the mystic  approach towards life. And the sutra that begins this series of  discourses contains the very essence of the entire Upanishadic vision -  that the universe is an indivisible totality, an organic whole. Osho  manages to illumine these ancient texts with such clarity that their  significance seems stunningly obvious. A wealth of jokes and amusing  anecdotes are magically interwoven through his commentaries.

Osho declares that if the Greek mathematician and mystic Pythagoras had  been listened to and understood, humanity's history would have been  totally different. Pythagoras is a man close to Osho's heart, with his  understanding that materialism and spiritualism - East and West, body  and soul - exist together, are not opposing forces but complementary  facets of a harmonious whole.

Osho explains that Pythagoras, "a  seeker of truth par excellence," lived in Alexandria and was initiated  into the mystery schools of Egypt in his search. He then traveled to  India, Tibet and China - at that time the whole known world - in his  search until he became self-realized. He found the "perennial  philosophy" but was persecuted by his own society. Attempts were made on  his life, and he was unable to work out his system in detail. The  fragments of his teachings were collected after his death and written  down by a disciple in The Golden Verses of Pythagoras. In his  commentary, Osho expounds on the idea of the East and West as  representative of the brain's two hemispheres, and on the two  Pythagorean laws - of necessity and power. His enthusiasm and love for Pythagoras are evident in these talks on his verses.

In Osho's understanding Zen is the only true religion, the only approach  to religion which has not put fetters on mankind. He sees in Zen a  seed, pregnant with infinite potential. Interspersed with his comments  on anecdotes about the Zen masters Rinzai and Fuketsu, Osho addresses  current issues in the world news. With characteristic forthrightness he  shows the split in what society preaches and how it lives.
