Osho clears up misconceptions about what meditation is - playful - and what it is not - serious. He answers fundamental questions about meditation and gives a detailed description of each stage of his most revolutionary meditation technique, Dynamic Meditation.
The appendix contains descriptions of many more techniques: traditional ones reinvented by Osho, as well as original Osho meditations that begin with activity and lead to the silence and stillness of a no-mind consciousness.
In this book Osho gives us a complete guide to start to meditate.
He starts by teaching us the oriental concept of meditation, much different from that the occidental people have in mind (i.e. to reflect on something). The real meditation, according to Osho, is the lack of thoughts.
The book is divided in three different parts: In the first one, he establishes the principles of meditation, explains the main techniques and explains why the need of a master as the easiest way to reach the illumination.
The second part is dedicated to answer questions related to meditation made by his audience during his discourses.
The last part of the book is dedicated to explain the main techniques of meditation, both the traditional ones and that created by Osho specially for people living in the west.
