The short Zen stories in this book are brought to life through Osho’s unique ability to make the irrational seem natural and direct. Zen is truly a way forward in the twenty-first century, exactly what is needed now that so many intelligent people are finding that traditional religious and spiritual values no longer seem helpful or relevant. Osho uses these Zen stories as a starting point, from where he brings his own unique insight into the contemporary world and the situation of man today. Osho is truly a modern man of Zen.

“To those who have become too identified with the mind – and unfortunately all the civilizations and cultures that have existed in the world have enforced and reinforced the mind – Zen is alone and unique. It points beyond the mind.” Osho
