Ancient Music in the Pines
About This Book
Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind and there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Here, the contemporary mystic Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories, showing that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them -- a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis. Zen is for those intelligent enough to understand the limitations of the intellect and ready to recognize the significance of intuition in the world of mysticism.
What You'll Learn
Encounter Zen koans as living transmission devices rather than intellectual puzzles with answers. Understand how the Zen tradition has used paradox, surprise, and confusion to create the conditions for awakening. Let the koans work on your own mind in the way they are designed to — not by solving but by being held until they dissolve the mind that holds them.
