Publisher's summary

In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women’s role in society, nostalgia, a child’s right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.

Whenever questions are academic or “spiritual,” Osho hits the questioner’s head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as ‘holy cow dung’! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.

And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.
