In this book, Baghwan Shree Rajneesh (OSHO) gave us a complete guide to start to meditate. He starts by teaching us the oriental concept of meditation, much different from that the occidental people have in mind (i.e. to reflect on something). The real meditation, according to Rajneesh, is the lack of thoughts. The book is divided in three different parts : In the first one, he establishes the principles of meditation, explains the main techniques and explains why the need of a master as the easiest way to reach the illumination. The second part is dedicated to answer questions related to meditation made by his disciples during his discourses. The last part of the book is dedicated to explain the main techniques of meditation, both the traditional ones and that created by Rajneesh specially for the ocidental people.

In this book, Osho answers fundamental questions about meditation and gives a detailed description of each stage of his most revolutionary meditation technique, the OSHO Dynamic Meditation.
Part II contains questions from seekers about meditation and Osho's responses.
The appendix contains descriptions of many more techniques. Ancient meditations are given a 21st Century context, and Osho's original active meditations are explained.
This book is an excellent companion piece to Osho's The Book of Secrets, Meditation: The First and Last Freedom, and Path of Meditation: A Step by Step Guide to Meditation.
