Take It Easy, Vol 2

Through his commentaries on Zen master Ikkyu's verses, Osho shatters many of the cherished beliefs of man, and the meditator too. Togetherness, aloneness, the illusoriness of love and of meditation; the difficulty of understanding the simple; the difference between information and experience... There is something here for every intelligent reader!
