KW - Zen Buddhism N1 - 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 N2 - 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.
