Through an assortment of Zen stories and responses to questions, Osho uses humor to hammer on the idea that the self is all that there is. “A sudden change, a sudden clash of thunder, a discontinuity” and the bondage of the mind is broken.

Osho revitalizes the impact Jesus has on the world. Here is a new way people can understand long-familiar Bible verses, and Jesus, a true revolutionary.

Osho looks at Jesus in a highly original way: Jesus the master working with his disciples, Jesus walking in the marketplace, Jesus the fiery rebel creating troubles for the rabbis in the temple. Here is the man who enjoyed his food, enjoyed his wine, and who very much enjoyed his short life.

Osho is himself a master, and has talked about many great masters. He places Jesus in this context. This volume covers the final days of Jesus on this earth: the Last Supper, the betrayal by his own disciples, his crucifixion, and his resurrection.

In this first volume of his commentaries on The Dhammapada, Buddha’s time-honored sutras, Osho’s focus is on a very modern-day concern: the survival of man. He describes how a Western approach to life results in a denial of the soul, reducing man to a machine, whilst the Eastern way nourishes the spiritual dimension.

In the second volume of twelve on Buddha’s essential teachings, Osho says not to follow, but bathe in the fragrance of one who has known. Taking responsibility for yourself creates wisdom, and you can be as Buddha was – through meditation.
