Synopsis

A practical, step-by-step guide to sixty-three meditation techniques selected and created by the great Indian mystic Osho, bestselling author of 'The Everyday Meditator'. Clear succinct explanations of what exactly meditation is, a description of possible obstacles and answers to meditators' questions combine to make this the essential handbook for all meditators. 'Meditation is an adventure, the greatest adventure the human mind can undertake. Meditation is just to be, not doing anything - no action, no thought, no emotion. You just are and it is a sheer delight. From where does this delight come when you are not doing anything? It comes from nowhere, or it comes from everywhere. It is uncaused, because existence is made of the stuff called joy!' Osho.

From the Back Cover

"In Buddha's time, dynamic methods of meditation were not needed. People were more simple, more authentic. Now, people are living a very repressed life, a very unreal life. Just sitting directly in silence won't help." - Osho
