The Zen Manifesto
Freedom From Oneself
with Indian Mystic Osho (Video)

On this first day of spring it is with great joy we invite you to this evening event: 
 OSHO Talk and Zen Meditation:  

The Zen Manifesto: Freedom from Oneself

ABOUT THE EVENT:
"Friends, it is time, ripe time for a Zen manifesto.
The Western intelligentsia have become acquainted with Zen, have also fallen in love with Zen, 
but they are still trying to approach Zen from the mind. They have not yet come to the understanding that Zen has nothing to do with mind.

Its tremendous job is to get you out of the prison of mind. It is not an intellectual philosophy; it is not a philosophy at all. Nor is it a religion, because it has no fictions and no lies, no consolations. It is a lion's roar. And the greatest thing that Zen has brought into the world is freedom from oneself"
  - Osho

The evening will be a video talk with Osho from his last discourse in April 1989 and live music & meditation. March 21st was also the day Osho claimed his enlightenment at the age of 21
……maybe it will also be yours?

ABOUT OSHO:
Osho`s unique contribution to the understanding of who we are defies categorization. Mystic and scientist, a rebellious spirit whose sole interest is to alert humanity to the urgent need to discover a new way of living. His essential point is that only changing ourselves, one individual at a time, can the outcome of all our “selves” - our societies, our cultures, our beliefs, our world - also change. The doorway to that change is meditation.

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He often characterizes this new human being as “Zorba the Buddha” – capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautama the Buddha. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho’s talks and meditations is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of all ages past and the highest potential of today’s (and tomorrow’s) science and technology.

Osho is known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. His unique OSHO Active Meditations are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is then easier to take an experience of stillness and thought-free relaxation into daily life.
