Zen: Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing: Eat Dessert First, Because Life Is So Uncertain
About this audiobook
In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.
Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.
And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.

Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. ( Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)
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 has often characterized 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 Gautam Buddha.
Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.
