The First Principle
Zen discourses: the root before divisions, before the mind begins comparing and defending.
Zen talks here circle what cannot be named without becoming a slogan. Osho is less interested in ‘enlightenment’ as a badge than in whether you still defend a self-image when nobody is watching. Pair with a simple sitting practice; the words bite harder when you have something to contrast them with.
