Catching the First Principle Understanding Greed Dropping the Cloak of the Mind No Effort is Needed for Meditation Beyond the Prism of the Mind The Irrational Rationalist The Song of Sound and Silence The Profound and the Trivial The Seen Layers of "I" Maturity: Risking All to Be Oneself
Summary: In The First Principle, Osho captures the unique, colorful, seemingly crazy spirit of Zen through talks on a collection of Zen stories – anecdotes of the often-bizarre interchanges between a master and disciple in the quest for truth. From these anecdotes, Osho distills Zen’s pragmatic essence for the reader and conveys an alive understanding of its message – “the first principle.” Speaking to the contemporary, modern reader without robbing these old tales of their magic, charm and humor, Osho reminds us: You are the shrine for the first principle. So the only way is to go within. Turn in. That is what meditation is all about.
