Osho – The Zen Manifesto – Discourse 8 – Freedom from Oneself
2 OVD – VOB
|
“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.
“It is time, ripe time for a Zen manifesto. The Western intelligentsia have become acquainted with Zen, have also fallen in love with Zen, but they are still trying to approach from the Zen from the mind. They have not yet come to the understanding that Zen has nothing to do with mind. Its tremendous job is to get you out of the prison mind, it is not an intellectual philosophy; it is not a philosophy at all. Nor is it a religion, because it has no fictions and no lies, no consolations. It is a lion’s roar, And the greatest thing that Zen has brought into the world is freedom from oneself.” Osho
The last chapter of this book is Osho’s last spoken discourse. The title is Sammasati- The Last Word.
