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 uses the Tao Te Ching texts as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. From the seven verses Osho selected to comment on, he moves deeply into his own understanding and burns through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal clear light as Lao Tzu.

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.
