At his iconoclastic best and in the presence of journalists from the German magazine, Bunte, Osho overturns the apple-cart of decorum, making fun of the Nazi regime under Hitler and recounting some of his most outrageous jokes. Osho also creates one of his most powerful meditations, the Mystic Rose Meditation. This question-and-answer series is an existential illustration of a contemporary Zen master at work. An additional section of inspiring photographs and touchingly intimate interviews make this lovingly designed book quite simply irresistible.

Exploring the concept of Jesus as a human mystic rather than a supernatural figure, this commentary delves into the Gospels of the New Testament. It posits that the accounts of his life serve as teaching parables rather than factual history, aimed at providing spiritual guidance through the ages. By examining the idea of enlightenment in an Eastern context, the book invites readers to reconsider traditional beliefs about Jesus and his teachings.

The collection features the profound songs of Kabir, reflecting his deep mystical experiences and connection with the divine. These works transcend ordinary poetry, embodying the essence of a mystic who has intimately encountered God. Through his verses, Kabir expresses a flood of spiritual insight, offering readers a glimpse into the transformative power of divine love and the intoxication of spiritual realization.

Osho calls the incomparable Dhammapada sutras of Buddha, "The Book of Books." He explains that these sutras are concerned with aspects of man's unawareness, and that Buddha's whole message is concerned with the raising of our consciousness. Entering into The Dhammapada with Osho is to enter into a deep friendship of enlightened masters. These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings.This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago.Osho's commentaries on these sutras set the Wheel of Dharma in motion again.Osho also answers questions from disciples and other seekers in alternate discourses all generously sprinkled with stories, personal anecdotes and, of course, a multitude of jokes. Visually this boxed set is stunning, without doubt a collector's piece and twelve volumes to dive into for years to come."Now that religion has become just a formality, and the burning messages of the buddhas who have been on earth degraded to mere formal faith, the message of Osho who has reached to such dazzling heights of human consciousness through his own experience, is incomparable in its strength to pierce the beauty within our hearts."

This book contains 10 talks in which Osho revitalizes well-known Sufi stories in an effort to push the reader on to a new journey towards the heart. He talks about the ego as a barrier to one's true self, the value of meditation, the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the connection between happiness and unhappiness, the beauty of sadness, and love as a transformative force.

The series challenges readers to confront and reassess their life patterns, offering a transformative journey that isn't without its difficulties. Emphasizing the importance of taking things in stride, it encourages a mindset of resilience and adaptability. The title, "Take It Easy," reflects the overarching theme of navigating life's complexities with a balanced approach, making it a compelling read for those seeking personal growth and change.

In what may be the juiciest, most intimate tapestry of talks ever given by an enlightened master, Osho paints the stories of his delightful, inquisitive and mischievous childhood. He began his explorations into truth with an incredible innocence and courage. With his spirited nature, he questioned every orthodox belief and everyone who blindly espoused any such belief rather than by their own authentic reason. Here are stories about Osho's childhood encounters with death, his adventures in school and his confrontations with the so- called authorities. The book is full of hilarious incidents and stories about sex, smoking, and religion, along with moving and wondrous dialogues with the local enlightened man in his village.
