152 | When the Shoe Fits Talks on the Stories of Chuang Tzu, Talks given from 11/10/74 am to 20/10/74 am, English Discourse series, 10 Chapters, Year Published : 1978 Content : Osho is unique amongst commentators in that he does not offer yet another intellectual treatise on principles, but rather relates the situations of a few thousand years ago to our situation here and now. His great affinity with Chuang Tzu is obvious as he talks on Zen as a religious system only in so far as it is a practical means by which we may understand the conditionings of the mind, and in so doing, transcend. And then the shoe will always fit! | Read |
153 | The White Lotus Discourses on the Zen Master Bodhidharma, Talks given from 31/10/79 am to 10/11/79 am, English Discourse series, 11 Chapters, Year Published : 1981 Content : Bodhidharma, a disciple of Buddha, was the first patriarch of Zen. The notes collected by his disciples from Bodhidharma’s discourses, contain the essential core of Buddha’s message. Buddha and Bodhidharma are vastly different in their expression of truth. Osho sees Buddha as the silence of a breeze, Bodhidharma he likens to a storm. This discourse series alternates the eminently readable interchanges between Bodhidharma and his disciples, and Osho’s response to questions from his own disciples and other seekers. In the words of one journalist : “Just by reading these discourses there is a risk you may be pulverized by their inspiration.” | Read |

In his characteristically up-front way, he slots so-called saints into three special categories – Idiots, Average IQs, and Intellectuals. In addition, he allocates places to such well-known personalities as Satya Sai Baba, Mother Teresa, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Krishnamurti, and also speaks on Kahlil Gibran, Gurdjieff, Lama Trungpa and the Antichrist. | Read |
