In this compilation Osho guides the reader all the way from the birth of Zen to its contemporary practices of Zen. It contains many anekdotes of Zen Masters like Bodidharma and Sosan as well as the famous story of 'The Ten Bulls of Zen".
The book is illustrated with photos of the world of Zen and photos from the Osho Commune in Poona.
'Zen is like a telegram. It believes in the very essentials. It has no nonsense around it, no rituals, no chanting, no mantras, no scriptures-just small anecdotes. If you have the right awareness, they will hit you directly in the heart. It is a very condensed and crystallized teaching, but it needs the person to be prepared for it. And the only preparation is meditative awareness.''
'Zen books themselves are very fragmentary. They are telegrams-urgent, immediate, not giving you any explanation, but simply giving you the very essence, the perfume of thousands of flowers. You just have to be alert and meditative enough to absorb them. I'm trying to give a context, the right background, because I am talking to people who are not born in the Zen tradition.' OSHO
