Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition, but as the
future of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no
longer need religions controlled by "priesthoods" and based on
fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and
divide them from one another. This book offers a deeper
understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and
Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness.
It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has
the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of
existence, and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us are
born with. "Dang Dang Doko Dang" represents the sound of the drum
beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As
well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents
the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on
well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the "OSHO Classics"
series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the
meditation technique of Zazen.

The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra.

Osho's teachings defy categorisation, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing society today. His books are not written but are transcribed from audio and video recordings of extemporaneous talks given to international audiences over a period of 35 years. Osho has been described by "The Sunday Times" in London as one of the '1000 Makers of the 20th Century' and by American author Tom Robbins as 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ'.
In a culture infatuated with youth and determined to avoid old age
at all costs, this book dares to raise a question that has been all
but forgotten in the age of Viagra and cosmetic surgery. What
benefits might lie in accepting the aging process as natural,
rather than trying to hold on to youth and its pleasures all the
way to the grave?
In this seventh book in the popular "Insights for a New Way of Living" series, Osho examines the nature of joy from a radically different perspective. With an artful mix of compassion and humor, Osho shows us that joy is the essence of life, that even unhappiness has its root in joy. Osho encourages us to accept joy by being grateful to be alive and for the challenges and opportunities in life, and by finding the good in all that we have--rather than setting conditions or demands for happiness. By embracing joy, one comes closer to a true, peaceful, and balanced state. "Joy: The Happiness That Comes From Within "includes an original 80-minute talk by Osho on DVD. This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source.
Just as he's getting used to his new life of world hopping with Peeps, a run-in with a psychic forces Sasaki to make a sudden career change--to the top-secret Paranormal Phenomena Countermeasure Bureau. Just how many double lives can he handle?!
Sex matters to us all. The Osho approach to sex begins with an understanding of how important love is in our lives, while at the same time acknowledges that the journey into love cannot exclude our innate biological energies. With this perspective, it becomes clear that the tendency for religions, and for society in general, to associate sex with sin and morality has been a great misfortune.
"Tantra is freedom; freedom from all mind-constructs, from all mind-games; freedom from all structures; freedom from the other. Tantra is space to be. Tantra is liberation, a total orgasm of the whole being." -Osho The tradition of Tantra or Tantric Buddhism is known to have existed in India as early as the 5th century AD. In this all-time bestseller, using the contemporary idiom and his own unique blend of wisdom and humor, Osho talks about the mystical insights found in the ancient Tantric writings. He also explores many significant Tantric meditation techniques, demonstrating how they are as relevant to the modern-day seeker as they were to those in earlier times. No matter how complex, obscure, or mystical the subject, Osho always brings his uniquely refreshing perspective-introducing the most difficult concepts to the widest possible audience with irreverent wit and thought-provoking inspiration.
In spiritual teacher Osho's Aspects of Meditation Book 2: Meditation, a Jumping Off Point, you'll discover a deeper understanding of meditation through an investigation into the subtle workings of the mind--concentration as a way to discover the self. The West has taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have undertaken to "do" meditation. The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 2, Osho explores the purpose of meditation: to discover the self.
Existence is a constant reminder, according to Osho; one just needs to be sensitive and alert to pick up the messages. The selected quotes in one of Osho's most accessible books create an urgency very much in tune with a growing worldwide awareness that everything is not right with humanity and our beautiful planet Earth. These powerful meditations cover a wide range of subjects including love, death, friendship, and hate; together they remind us that we have only one moment in our hands, and that we must live it or leave it unlived.
Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind and
there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence.
Here, the contemporary mystic Osho brings to life the inherent and
timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories, showing that Zen is a
way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them -- a
way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of
neurosis. Zen is for those intelligent enough to understand the
limitations of the intellect and ready to recognize the
significance of intuition in the world of mysticism.
"Hit-and-run" relationships have become common in our society as it has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing-a quality of intimacy.
Using eleven Zen stories as a starting point and diving deep into their mysterious world, he then weaves his magical clarity on many diverse contemporary topics. From the true meaning of happiness to an understanding of the process of death, it's all here. To begin reading this book is to commence a journey into the world of wonder. Buddha's disciple Subhuti is showered with blossoms upon experiencing sublime emptiness. But isn't emptiness usually an absence of something? Through his commentary on this seemingly strange tale, Osho illuminates the vast difference between a negative and a sublime emptiness.
There is a famous Zen story about a disciple, Riko, who once asked his master Nansen to explain to him the old Zen koan of the goose in the bottle. Namely, if a man puts a gosling into a bottle, and feeds the gosling through the bottle's neck until it grows and becomes a goose -- and then there is simply no more room inside the bottle -- how can the man get it out without killing the goose or breaking the bottle? In response, Nansen shouts "RIKO!" and gives a great clap with his hands. Startled, Riko replies, "Yes master!" And Nansen says, "See! The goose is out!" In this Zen-flavored series of responses to questions, the contemporary mystic Osho cuts through the mad complexity of the contemporary human mind and its self-created "problems" with humor, compassion, and even an occasional shout and clap of his hands. The goose in the questioner's bottle may be a philosophical problem or an existential dilemma, a relationship drama or an emotional crisis -- in each case, Osho's unique and transformational response sets the goose free, allowing us to rediscover the simple and innocent clarity each of us brings with us when we
"I don't say cultivate morality; I say become more conscious, and you will be moral. But that morality will have a totally different flavor to it. It will be spontaneous; it will not be ready-made." -Osho In a global world, we are in search of universal values--values based on a contemporary understanding that unifies us as human beings beyond the divisions of religions, nations, and race. In "Moral, Immoral, Amoral," Osho speaks directly to this contemporary search as he introduces us to a quest for values that make sense in the world we live in--a quest that goes far beyond moral codes of behavior and comes from an inner connectivity and oneness with existence. The Osho Life Essentials series focuses on the most important questions in the life of the individual. Each volume contains timeless and always-contemporary investigations and discussions into questions vital to our personal search for meaning and purpose, focusing on questions specific to our inner life and quality of existence. |
