Zen is a totally different kind of religion. It brings humanness to religion. It is not bothered about anything superhuman its whole concern is how to make ordinary life a blessing.

More quotes by Rajneesh
Zen says everything is divine so how can anything be special? All is special. Nothing is non-special so nothing can be special.
Rajneesh
Remember the word bodhichitta, because Atisha says the whole effort of religion, the whole science of religion, is nothing but an endeavor to create bodhichitta, buddha-consciousness: a mind which functions as a no-mind, a mind which dreams no more, thinks no more, a mind which is just awareness, pure awareness.
Rajneesh
Meditation opens the doors of your inner treasures, what Jesus calls the kingdom of god. Meditation is only a key, and keys are always small things, but they can unlock immense treasures. Everybody is born as a prince or a princess, but gets lost in the blind crowd of beggars.
Rajneesh
Celebration is not because some desire is fulfilled - because no desire is ever fulfilled. Desire as such cannot be fulfilled. Desire is only a way to avoid the present moment. Desire creates the future and takes you far away. Desire is a drug it keeps you stoned, it does not allow you to see the reality - that which is herenow.
Rajneesh
To live in relationship and yet remain independent, that is what courage is.
Rajneesh
There is no greater magic than meditation. To transform the negative into the positive. To transform darkness into light-that is the miracle of meditation.
Rajneesh
Tonight go to sleep as though your whole past has been dropped. Die to the past. And in the morning wake up as a new man in a new morning. Don't let the same one who went to bed get up. Let him go to sleep for good. Let the one who is ever-new and ever-fresh awake instead.
Rajneesh
Children can be taught meditation more easily because they are not yet spoiled. When you have been spoiled the hard work is to help you to unlearn.
Rajneesh
NOW is the only reality. All else is either memory or imagination.
Rajneesh
When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.
Rajneesh
Anger will come and go and the watcher abides. Sadness comes and passes by and the witness remains
Rajneesh
We where created to discover Love - the only reality.
Rajneesh
But then you become closed. Then you start dying as far as your intelligence is concerned because intelligence needs the open sky, the wind, the air, the sun in order to grow, to expand, to flow. To remain alive it needs a constant flow if it becomes stagnant it becomes slowly slowly a dead phenomenon.
Rajneesh
Learn to laugh. Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it will give you wings to fly.
Rajneesh
In the East a man becomes divine only when he is no longer jealous, a man is thought to be enlightened only when he is no longer jealous. Jealousy is a by-product of the ego and when the ego disappears jealousy disappears. You cannot offend a buddha. Whatsoever you do you cannot offend him.
Rajneesh
Never imitate. The mind is an imitator, because imitation is very easy. To be someone is very difficult. To become someone is very easy - all that you need is to be a hypocrite, which is not much of a problem. Deep down you remain the same, but on the surface you go on painting yourself according to some image.
Rajneesh
The whole effort of a Jesus or a Buddha or a Bodhidharma is nothing but how to undo that which society has done to you.
Rajneesh
Only those persons who have lived, really lived, are ready, welcoming, receptive, thankful to death. Then death is not the enemy. Then death becomes the fulfillment.
Rajneesh
Have you not watched it yourself? Whenever you are total in something there is celebration.
Rajneesh
Just being alive is such a gift, but nobody ever told you to be thankful to existence.
Rajneesh
