Ten years after his death, Osho is now globally recognised as one of the 20th century's most important spiritual guides. Always bold and unpredictable, Osho's prolific teachings were aimed at the creation of a "new man" - one who is free from outdated ideologies, doctrines and dogmas of the past - with a vision toward the integration of the Eastern spirit with the Western scientific mind. "Without science", Osho said, "the East has lost much; without meditation the West has lost much. I am trying to bring together East and West, because together they will create the whole". In OSHO ON ZEN, Osho speaks of Zen as a possible bridge not only between East and West, but between science and religion as well. Reading Osho On Zen is like a meditation in and unto itself. You will throw off the accumulated "knowing" of a lifetime; let go of physical, mental and emotional tensions; relax into the flow of an extraordinary discourse; and become silent. As you do this you will be receptive to the present moment and the potential therein.
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.'

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."
