A Zen story about grief provides a jumping off point for more stories about how to live.

In Tao, Osho takes listeners on an adventure into the world of Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu, Ko Hsuan - the world of Taoism, one of the four major traditions of China. The 3000-year-old Taoist message of self-realization becomes alive as Osho recounts the stories of these Chinese mystics. Contrary to the laissez-faire going-with-the-flow perception of Taoism, Osho describes Tao in terms of freedom, anarchy, and chaos.

We have lost touch with who we are and how we want to live. It started at birth. From birth we are molded according to the beliefs and ideals of others, and our own potential is ignored. It needs immense courage to go your own way, leaving the crowd behind. The moment you do it you are taking responsibility for your life in your own hands. Osho reminds us that it is a step worth taking.

An authority on the world's spiritual traditions, Osho is celebrated for his unique ability to refresh ancient wisdoms for a contemporary audience. Here he takes the listener on an exciting journey into the life and world of Prince Gautam Siddhartha, who became the Buddha.

There are three kinds of problems - those that you create – they are almost ninety per cent of the problems of your life. You create them and you go on saying that you don’t want them. Ninety per cent of the problems simply disappear when you are in a meditative state – because you can see. And by seeing, you stop creating them. Ninety per cent will be solved; nine per cent will not be solved by your meditation but will be dissolved because they will not concern you at all.

The world needs workaholics; it needs people to function like machines. The majority of the population has always been poor, their survival dependent on their capacity to be productive. They have been taught to work and to work hard to produce more, and the rich become even richer. Society has lived under this insanity. The state of letting go, of being deeply relaxed is generally called laziness. Although it goes against a workaholic society, it is a basic requirement for sanity.

Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind and there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Here, the contemporary mystic Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories, showing that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them - a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis.

This life is a gift from existence, to be lived and enjoyed. But with the seemingly impossible and conflicting demands of society, morality, and culture, people struggle with feelings of unfulfilled potential, frustration, and guilt rather than living full lives. The world of tantra has no division between higher and lower. The simple, ordinary things of life are transformed into great things when we enter into them totally - be it car fixing, floor cleaning or lovemaking. Osho shows how, by living this vision, new heights of consciousness and freedom are realized.

The message of Tantra endorses Osho's understanding that only through total acceptance of ourselves can we grow. Osho speaks on Tantra meditation techniques (let go and surrender), and tantric love and spirituality in sex. Here the Tantra message - don't live a repressed life, otherwise you don't live at all - is made accessible and understandable to modern man, who will learn to live a life of expression, creativity, and joy.

Osho responds to questions on "Relaxing and Waking Up" and "The Difference Between Instinct and Intuition". "In meditation you are not going anywhere. You are simply being here, relaxed, utterly centered in yourself. Everything stops. For this, no 'how' is needed."

Nella tradizione orientale la religione ha un marcato carattere di praticità che in Occidente non si èmai sviluppato in modo organico. In particolare, i percorsi sviluppatisi a partire dal Buddha sibasano sulla comprensione che tutti siamo alla ricerca – della felicità, di un significato, della quietementale... e quant'altro implica riconnettersi con il proprio essere – e quella ricerca è dovuta a unanon conoscenza di se stessi, a un mancato sviluppo di una qualità che ogni essere umano possiede,in forma di seme: la consapevolezza.

Wisdom, says Buddha, arises from within, and is the only true knowledge. In The Dhammapada Osho speaks on wisdom, which he calls knowing, and on the difference between knowing and knowledge. Knowing, he says, is spontaneous response: it comes from inner silence, it is our own truth, an existential experience. Knowledge is dependent on the past, it is mechanical, it is second-hand, it comes from another, and hides the truth from ourselves. Knowing gives us inner direction; knowledge only outer direction. And the key to the intuitive faculty of knowing is meditation.

Humanity is divided in three types of persons: Believers, atheists and agnostics. For Osho, this last type, the agnostic is far above the first two and it is something intrinsic to the true seeker. Nevertheless, there is a fourth type of person, one that does not fit in any of these categories: The Gnostic, the one who knows. Listening to his direct and simple style, we rediscover the courage to doubt while we move into the unknown.

Existentialist come to the conclusion, well no there is no meaning in life so what’s the point? Osho in his genius way again looks at the question put before him from a very different point of view. See for yourself…

In this meeting, Osho answers this question, asked by a visitor: More and more I see how my energy is either going very high or very low, how sometimes I get very excited, come down again and then feel embarrassed about what happened during this state of excitement.

In this talk Osho suggest to stop living on the surface and invites us to dive deep into live, into the vertical.

"Libertà è la capacità di dire sì, quando il sì è necessario; di dire no, quando il no è necessario e, a volte, di stare tranquillo, quando non occorre fare nulla: stare in silenzio, senza dire nulla. Allorché si ha familiarità con tutte e tre queste dimensioni esiste la libertà." Osho La libertà è qualcosa da cui di solito si scappa; oppure che si brama, quando se ne viene privati a livello fisico o psicologico.

La nostra vita poggia sulle intuizioni dei pochi che si sono tuffati nell'esistenza restando attenti e presenti, così da cogliere la realtà nella sua essenza... riuscendo poi a comunicarla. Nella tradizione greca quei tuffatori insigni erano chiamati “i sapienti”. E tra loro Eraclito spicca per lucidità e oscurità, regalandoci perle di comprensione d'eccezione, come questa: Esiste un'armonia nell'attrito come nel caso dell'archetto e della lira.

"Occorre trasformare il programma vitale dell'uomo, occorre dargli nuovi valori. Esiste una frattura all'interno dell'essere umano che le semplici ideologie e la sola morale non possono ricomporre." Osho Oggi è lo stato delle cose che richiede di prendere in considerazione i nostri "fondamentali" e ragionare i presupposti su cui si basa la realtà sociale e quindi la nostra vita. Per poi chiedersi quali responsabilità ciascuno di noi è chiamato ad assumersi, per cambiare davvero la situazione.

Prosegue il viaggio di comprensione sollecitato da Osho sull'onda delle intuizioni che Kahlil Gibran ha lasciato in dono all'umanità, nel suo capolavoro: Il Profeta. Nel secondo volume, Almustafà – il Profeta ideato da Gibran – parla delle Case e dei possessi, degli Abiti, della bellezza e del pudore, del Comprare e del Vendere, del Crimine e del Castigo, del giudicare e del condannare, delle radici del bene e del male, delle Leggi, della Libertà, dell'anima e del suo risveglio.
