Rinzai: Master of the Irrational
Rinzai, who brought Zen from China to Japan, is truly a master of the irrational - a Zen master who sticks his tongue out at one disciple and who created the shout as a device to shock the mind. Osho continually reminds us that it is only a question
of time, that everyone is going to become a buddha. He encourages the reader not to believe, but to experience - to have the trust that "if so many people can become enlightened, there is no reason why I cannot." In this small volume he also comments
on the timeless paintings-in-words of the famous haiku writer, Ikkyu.
