“The fundamental of the Zen approach is that all is as it should be, nothing is missing. This very moment everything is perfect. The goal is not somewhere else, it is here, it is now.” – Osho

	Triggered by the presence of a TV crew from the USSR, and almost a year before the walls of Eastern Europe crumble, Osho offers a highly charged and prescient re-appraisal of Soviet communism.

	Kyozan: A True Man of Zen
	Kyozan was such a simple and ordinary man that, as his own Master put it, if it was possible for him to become enlightened, then it is possible for anyone. These discourses – based on anecdotes about Kyozan’s life and on a selection of exquisite haikus – are filled with that promise. Osho uses Kyozan's life to make Zen as accessible to the contemporary seeker as preparing a cup of tea.

	No-Mind: Flowers of Eternity
	This volume chronicles 12 days of upheaval in the life of Osho and his disciples as he returns from a long period of illness to announce that he is dropping his former name, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Using anecdotes about Zen Masters and their disciples, as well as a magnificent selection of haikus, Osho reveals the mystery of Zen as something to be savored rather than solved. He then confirms the assertion of a Japanese seeress that he has become the vehicle for the wandering soul of Gautama the Buddha, who has promised to return to the world as Maitreya, the friend. The end of the saga comes as a shock, a surprise, and an awakening. This is a landmark of a book, intriguing and amusing.
