Take It Easy

In these delightful and playful talks, Osho introduces the mystery, the wonder and the emptiness that is Zen, not comparable to anything else and a completely different approach to life. The chapters alternate between elaborating original excerpts by the 14th Zen master, Ikkyu, taking us into the world of Zen – and responding to personal questions, which brings the world of Zen into our lives, connects with our issues and questions. Listening to this series, recorded in India in an open-air auditorium with a live audience, we are listening to a Zen master – this is not intellectualized learning about Zen, not a lecture – but direct experiencing, which touches the being and helps our transformation. Zen and Osho's whole message is to experience the essence of emptiness, that blissful state of no-mind where this endlessly chattering mind with old conditionings stops running out of control and we are free to be ourselves. - The Essence of Emptiness - Death in the Ego Is Life in Love - All Is Happening Now - Live Dangerously! - ...And We Are in Love - A Good Kick in the Pants - Allow Reality to Reveal Itself - Great Trust in Life - Zen: A Transfer of Consciousness - Only Man Is Capable of Boredom - The Opening of Your Inner Core - Out of Emptiness, Fullness is Born - Religion Is Rebellion - Becoming Is the Most Impossible Thing - Existence Is Made of the Stuff Called Love - It Ain't Easy! - The Law of Buddhas - The Flight of the Aone to the Alone - Coming Close to Emptiness - Seeking: The Source of All Tensions - Choicelessness Brings You to the Whole - Search for Your Own Path - Breakfast Is More Important than Paradise - Free from the Self Itself - Waiting for a Sweet One - A Way of Life - Existence Is a Festival Osho Talks - from original recordings of live events with Osho and his audience of seekers and friends from around the world.
