Christianity THE DEADLIEST POISON & Zen THE ANTIDOTE TO ALL POISONS
Faith is not a virtue. and it is not a great contribution to humanities evolution. Faith is the greatest hindrance in peoples search for truth. Before you go in search you have already been handed a secondhand, dirty faith, and you are told that just this much is enough; you don't have to search, Jesus has done it for you...Buddha has done it for you... Faith simply means hiding ignorance, and it is very cheap. Truth needs great energy, great urgency, and a total involvement in the search. Truth is within you, faith comes from outside. Anything that comes from outside is not going to help you. Truth is already alive in you, you don't need any faith. It is faith which has kept humanity ignorant. Christianity and all other religions are part of the conspiracy to castrate man. They have destroyed all the dignity of man, they have given him only guilt and sin. Hence I call Christianity the deadlist poison.

One Seed Can Make the Whole Earth Green
In Osho’s understanding Zen is the approach to religion that 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. With characteristic forthrightness he shows how society diverges from what it preaches and how it lives. This beautifully designed volume of talks also features commentaries on haikus, and a great selection of jokes!

Osho on Zen
A perfect introduction to the paradoxical world of Zen, and a companion text to the Meditations on Zen audiobook published by Audio Renaissance and also available for download in MP3 format on www.audible.com. In these commentaries on Zen anecdotes and stories, Osho leads the reader step by step through the mystery of the words into a deeper understanding of this unique approach to life. Concluding with a chapter of responses to questions, the text of the book has been selected from a series of talks originally called "Zen: The Path of Paradox." Introducing the book, Osho says: "Zen lives in the present. The whole teaching is how to be in the present - how to get out of the past, which is no more, and how not to get involved in the future which is not yet. And just to be rooted, centered, in that which is."

Turning in
Your ultimate reality is not something to be sought in the outside world; it is hidden in the seeker himself.The moment you start looking for it here and there, you are going far away, far away from yourself. There is no need to go anywhere. Just sit down, settle down.The mind is just like dust in water. If you are patient enough, the dust will settle and the crystal-clear water will be ther reflecting the full moon.

This. This. A Thousand Times This!
Through his commentaries on anecdotes about Zen masters Osho reiterates that Zen is not for the mass-mind but only for the individual who is unconcerned with the dictates of the status quo. Further, 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. Throughout, Osho keeps bringing the reader back to the moment, to this, as the only reality.

The Original Man
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 the seeker not to take his word for it but experience it for yourself. 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.

The Miracle
In this unique world of Zen, masters with strange sounding names and even stranger behavior ask disciples odd questions and then hit them! whether their answers are right or wrong! Osho deciphers the great game Zen masters play with their disciples and elucidates the central message of Zen "nothingness." He also talks on students and disciples, and the role of a spiritual master and how the energy field of an enlightened being can affect the whole world.

Ta Hui - The Great Zen Master
"The whole journey of Ta Hui is significant because it is the journey of everyone who moves from ignorance to innocence, from mind to mindlessness, from darkness to ultimate light. It is your journey.Going with Ta Hui, step by step, will help you immensely, because there is no other book that I have come across which describes the whole transformation. All other books have been created after enlightenment; people have spoken only when they have known. This is a special case. We start with a teacher and we end up with a great zen master."

The Goose is out
The Zen koan, "The goose is out!" captures the whole absurdity of the human condition how, throughout our lives, we remain voluntarily ignorant of our true nature.

The Buddha - the emptiness of the heart
In this particularly potent dose of Zen, Osho challenges the reader to know the "empty heart," beyond feelings and sentiment, the door to eternity that exists within everyone. Using stories and haikus from past Zen masters, Osho reveals the relevance of Zen for the contemporary world. He separates Zen from all the other religions in the world, stating that they are obsolete whereas the Zen he is presenting is an alive phenomenon.

Religion has always been against 'roots' - worldly pleasures- and for 'wings' -renunciation.In these eleven Zen stories Osho shows that there is no choice to be made: wings cannot develop without these roots.

Hyakujo - The Everest of Zen
Basho is one of the greatest poets in the world. His greatness is not poetry - there are far greater poets as far as the composition of poetry is concerned.

The Language of Existence
The Zen Master, or Buddha, does not speak, he only allows existence to sing its song. The buddha is just a flute, a bamboo with holes. Existence can sing any song that it wants; the flute does not interfere. The flute allows existence to commune with those who are capable of listening to the music that is flowing through it.

Zen: The Diamond Thunderbolt
Zen is th only path that has led thousands of people to the ultimate reality… it is not a morality. It never talks about right and wrong. It does not belong to the ordinary category of religions, it has no theology, no God, none of the nonsense questions that have troubled people for centuries. It has reduced the whole of religiousness to a single point within you.

Zen - The Solitary Bird, Cuckoo of the Forest
In this series Osho takes us deeply into the mysteries of the inner world. He explains that the existence of the mind is peripheral and can only exist on the circumference of our consciousness. It is a fine instrument for outside inquiry, but inhibits the internal search. In those moments when we enter our being, it disappears. This is meditation.

And the Flowers Showered
A man of understanding does not bother about god or that type of matter, because he is not a philosopher. He simply tries to be at home, meditates on how to stop worrying about the future and the past, thinking about future and past; he meditates on how to settle here and now, how not to move from this moment.Once you are in this moment, the door opens.This moment is the door!

The Search: Talks on the Ten Bulls of Zen
The ten paintings that tell the famous Zen story of a farmer in search of his lost bull provide an allegorical expression of the search for enlightenment. Originally Taoist, The Ten Bulls were repainted by the 12th-century Chinese Zen master, Kakuan, and first appeared in the West in American author, Paul Reps’ book, Zen Flesh, Zen Bones. These discourses are Osho’s commentaries on the paintings, and on the poetry and prose which accompany them in Paul Reps’ book. In answering the question, "Why am I here?" Osho dismantles not only this but probably every "why" the mind can contrive. There is a beautiful talk about the relation between discipline and awareness; another about Tantra and Yoga, the path of love and the path of meditation and where they meet.

Communism & Zen Fire, Zen Wind
Communism & Zen Fire, Zen Wind
Explores the myth of Communism - equality for the few, not the many. You can give equal opportunity for growth, but the growth will bring unequal persons. Somebody will become a scientist and somebody will become a shoemaker; somebody will become a great novelist like Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekov, Dostoevsy or Gorky, and somebody may become just a flutist. Everybody needs equal opportunity to grow unequal!
But as far as spirituality is concerned, everybody can be equally a buddha. That is true communism, deeper, higher, more authentic. And if we can create a situation, an education for people to understand their inner being, they will come out of it with great compassion, with love for every being. They will have a tremendous reverence for life. They cannot exploit. In fact, spiritual communism should be first; only then can the economic communism follow it as a shadow.

Dogen - The Zen Master
Dogen is saying that forms don't change into other forms. Winter remains winter, Summer remains Summer, but something inner moves from one climate to another climate which is beyond birth and beyond death, which is beyond life, which simply is.

God is dead - now zen is the only living truth
If you understand, my approch is so clean and clear: just to be natural, and god will not matter at all, nor heaven and hell, nor any priest. Every moment you will so much in tune with existence that you will blossom like flowers, you will dance like peacocks, you will sing like cuckoos. Your life will have a totally different flavor. It will have the fragrance of a man who is utterly contented with himself and existence as it is, with no desire to change, no desire to make this existence better, no desire to bother about what will happen after death.
