3. The Zen Manifesto  : Freedom From Oneself  :


"Zen has nothing to do with the mind... It is the lion's roar. And the greatest thing that Zen has brought into the world is freedom from oneself." The Zen Manifesto is a collection of the last discourses of Osho with his last publicly spoken words. In this culmination of his insights into Zen he makes it clear that the West's comprehension of Zen is still confined to intellectual appreciation. To prove it, Osho takes on such respected members of the Western Zen establishment as D.T. Suzuki, Thomas Merton, Paul Reps, Alan Watts and Nancy Wilson-Ross.


4. Zen :The Diamond Thunderbolt  :

The "Diamond Thunderbolt" is that experience in which it is as if one is shocked out of one's spiritual sleep and catapulted into the mystery of existence. Through anecdotes and joke-telling, Osho creates a milieu in which that can happen.


5. Zen : The Mystery And The Poetry Of The Beyond :

Through enigmatic Zen anecdotes and questions from his disciples, Osho exposes the narrow-mindedness of organized religions and sheds new light on the ecological and social crises of today.

6. Zen : The Path Of Paradox : Vol - 1 :


Day and night, summer and winter, life and death...nature itself is paradox and Zen the simple mirror reflection of life. Remain choiceless, says Osho, and you will remain true. Relax and let go into the way things really are. Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. In alternate sessions Osho also answers questions about why there can't be just one religion in the world, the difference between philosophy, psychology and religion, and the nature of guilt, spontaneity, projection, the psychological defense mechanism, intuition, and more.

7. Zen : The Path Of Paradox : Vol - 2 :

"In Zen a totally new dimension opens, the dimension of effortless transformation. The dimension of transformation that comes naturally, by clearer eyes, by clarity. By seeing into the nature of things, without any hindrances, without any prejudices." This book is brimming with anecdotes showing life's paradoxes, and that if you look around you will find contradiction everywhere. The message is clear, that the more we dissect and analyze the more neurotic we become. The man of Zen has utter respect for himself; he does not believe in outer disciplines, rules and regulations; he trusts the inner - a trust that comes out of meditation - "and trust makes nature divine."

8. Zen : The Path Of Paradox : Vol - 3 :

"Truth cannot be said, but can be shown," and Osho leaves no stone unturned along the path - Zen koans, the nature of satori, the three Pillars of Zen, the Man of No Title, the Great Doubt. And the landscape is vividly peopled with outlandish figures - Joshu and his jokes, Chi Ch'ang, the master archer, Rinzai answering the questions and beating up the questioner. Meet Bankei, Bossui and Emperor Wu. Osho hits all the sacred cows and strips away all illusions. "Zen is looking for the spectacles that are sitting on your nose already." So, have a good belly laugh. Have a cup of tea!

9. Zen : Quantum Leap From Mind  To No Mind :

The quantum leap, according to Osho, is from mind to no-mind - from ego-mind to inner consciousness. It is all that is needed for self-transformation and it can happen instantaneously. Osho speaking on Zen is a must for anyone who senses "there must be more to life than this." There is - and Osho infuses it into our reality right here, in this small but potent book.

10. Zen : The Solitary Bird, Cuckoo of the Forest  :

In this series Osho takes us deeply into the mysteries of the inner world. He explains that the existence of the mind is peripheral and can only exist on the circumference of our consciousness. It is a fine instrument for outside inquiry, but inhibits the internal search. In those moments when we enter our being, it disappears. This is meditation.

11. Zen : The Special Transmission  :

Osho describes the era of Zen as a time when simplicity of life was a cultural reality. Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind, and, as never before, there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. He brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories. In alternate discourses anything goes in a question-and- response game between Osho and seekers as they pose questions such as: - Can a woman really drive a man crazy? - Why are you called 'the sex guru'? - I don't see any purpose in meditation...?

From ch.7 of this book, a glimpse of how Osho works:
I am ready to work on anybody because my approach is - whether you grow in this life or not is not the point; even if you have tried a little bit, that much will become part of you -- in some other life maybe, with some other Master, it may come to a fulfillment. You may not become enlightened this time but the very desire, the very longing is enough. I Will work whether you are worthy or not. It is enough that you long for it. I will sow the seeds. Maybe this life you will not grow, but the seeds will remain because they are never destroyed.
And the people who are going to become enlightened in this life, I cannot claim the whole credit, because they may have lived with Jesus, they may have lived with Buddha, they may have lived with Mohammed, they may have danced with Jalaluddin, they may have sat with Bokuju, Rinzai... You have lived thousands of lives. If all those people would have been as choosy as Gurdjieff you would not have been here; because they all worked on you, something went on growing. Hence I don't choose at all. Anybody who comes to me, I am ready to work; my approach is different.
Gurdjieff's approach was different. He wanted to know all of your faces immediately, then he would decide. With me it will take ten years to know your all faces, because I will have to wait for different situations to know your other aspects. But he wanted to know immediately; only then he will start his work.

12. Zen : Zest, Zip, Zap And Zing :

Osho devotes this series of discourses entirely to responding to seekers' questions on a whole range of topics - innocence, freedom, love, sex, compassion and women. He also expounds on his vision of India, and his personal "philosia" - life, love and laughter.
While these discourses were being delivered, one of Osho's disciples died, Sw Anand Vimalkirti, formerly Prince Welf of Hanover, who attained enlightenment at the moment of his death. Osho speaks on Vimalkirti's life and death, and the book includes magnificent color photographs of Vimalkirti's death celebration.
