The
last chapter of this book, Osho's last discourse, was originally titled
'The Awakening of the Buddha'.
'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.'
Osho
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.
'As you savor
the chapters, you'll discover that Osho is like a Zen archer. Almost
poetically he circles his target, surveying it over and over again
from many positions before he draws back his bow and lets the arrow
fly.'
