In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, a woman’s role in society, nostalgia, a child’s right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more.

Osho is one who has searched within himself and come to know who he is. He turns these tales of the monks’ exploits into something unique, something that goes straight to the very essence of life.

Zen says that if you want to find truth, you have to seek. Zen also says don’t seek, because then you won’t find. This is why Zen is called “the path of paradox.”
This series explores this paradoxical world, this distinctive approach to life.

Osho explores Zen’s unique definition of truth, adding his own understanding of the essence of truth and consciousness. He also answers questions on a wide variety of topics, including the concept of sin, and how to find peace of mind.

Is Zen a religion? “No,” says Osho, but then again “Yes.” It is a religion without any theology, priests, prayer, holy books and with no concept of God. This is the paradox of Zen.
In this book, using Zen stories and anecdotes as his starting point, Osho explains exactly what Zen is and its relevance to the way we live now.

The divine absurdity of these Zen stories comes from the merging of Buddhism and Taoism. Their focus is the interiority of humanity, not its worldly desires. Sometimes sounding complicated and bizarre, they stun the mind into confusion.
