ABOUT THE BOOK

Take It Easy: Talks on Zen Buddhism, authored by the iconoclastic 20th-century mystic Osho (Rajneesh), is an expansive collection of spontaneous, spoken discourses that unpack the elusive essence of Zen. Originally delivered in April 1978 at the ashram in Pune, India, and kept in print globally by Osho International Foundation, this book serves as a vital manual for practitioners of meditation, students of Eastern philosophy, and anyone seeking liberation from mental conditioning. The core philosophy of this text centers on the art of effortless awareness and radical relaxation—using the classic poems of the Zen master Ikkyu to argue that ultimate spiritual realization cannot be attained through exhausting discipline, willpower, or ascetic struggle, but only through a total, let-go of the ego.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Osho (1931–1990) was a highly influential, provocative, and charismatic spiritual teacher who rejected traditional categorization. His entire body of published work was not written by hand, but transcribed directly from thousands of hours of spontaneous, recorded audio discourses delivered to an international audience of seekers.
