What's so original about the original man? Only that on finding him  within yourself, according to Osho you find everything worth  discovering. But he exhorts his audience not to take his word for it but  experience it for themselves. Osho traces Zen from its beginnings with  Bodhidarma in China through a succession of masters and poets. Seemingly  absurd Zen statements and devices are all shown as techniques used in  specific situations with different types of seekers to jolt them out of  spiritual sleep. These discourses based on anecdotes about masters and  their disciples aren't about Zen, they are it.
