Take It Easy: Zen and a Totally Different Approach Towards Life
About this audiobook
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.

Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. ( Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)
About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as " Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.
Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.
