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.

Osho outlines how Yoga, when followed without austere practices and suppressed attitudes, can help people to become more natural and flowing, making it easier to move into meditation. Referring to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a logician, mystic and poet living in 400 AD, he introduces a form of Yoga evolved from ancient traditions that is of continuing relevance to contemporary life.

Osho takes the Gospel of Thomas out of their narrower Christian context, and blends their wisdom with the rich threads of Eastern traditions of mysticism, thereby showing the truly universal nature of Jesus′ teachings.
