One Seed Makes the Whole Earth Green

By: Osho

Narrated by: Osho

In Osho’s understanding Zen is the approach to religion that has not put fetters on mankind. These four talks pay homage to Zen’s reverence for life and its celebration of the everyday. He sees in Zen a seed, pregnant with infinite potential. Interspersed with his comments on anecdotes about the Zen masters Rinzai and Fuketsu, Osho addresses current issues. With characteristic forthrightness he shows how society diverges from what it preaches and how it lives. This beautifully designed volume of talks also features commentaries on haikus, and a great selection of jokes!

Kikaku wrote:
A brilliant full moon!
On the matting of my floor
shadows of pines fall.

“Always visualize these haikus.
A brilliant full moon! - and because of the brilliant full moon, On the matting of my floor shadows of pines fall…and a deep silence, and a tremendous blissfulness.
Those things are not said. They have to be understood by visualizing."
