More About the Author

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.


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.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

This review is from: The Empty Boat: Talks on the Sayings of Chuang Tzu (Hardcover)

This book delights in every possible way, it should not be a book to rest on the shelves gathering dust, but one to be perused through as the mood fits. This book inspired me greatly and I have the utmost respect for the authors understanding and commentary on the text. Beautifully demonstrative of the problems mankind faces in a world of stress and worry, Osho presents pearls of wisdom to delight the experienced reader and inexperienced alike. This book should seriously be considered by all especially as it has been out of print for some time, now just recently been reprinted.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Empty Boat -- Leads a journey to purified mind, January 14, 2000

By 

Lillian Yam (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Empty Boat: Talks on the Sayings of Chuang Tzu (Hardcover)

Since the first time I read books on the sayings of Chuang Tzu, its philosophy has amused me. But not until I read this book, I find the way to practice it in everyday's life. It is a guideline for dealing with daily chores in my life, for searching the soul, and reminds me the essential object of my pursuit--to live, to love, and go back to my nature and to be myself. Easily getting lost in illusions of the material world, it is a book that helps me to understand the true happiness in life. I hope others will enjoy and benefit from reading this book too.
