Chapter 1. "May 1982 pm in Lao Tzu House, Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, USA", according to the CD-ROM.

Ed Bradley of the 60 minutes team visited Rancho Rajneesh in May to get footage for last Sunday's program. Since it was not possible for him to interview Osho directly, he sent Osho a letter containing four questions. Osho gave his replies to the questions through Ma Anand Sheela and they were forwarded to Bradley.
