Dang Dang Doko Dang
The Sound of the Empty Drum

Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition but as the future spirituality of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no longer need religions controlled by priesthoods and based on fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and divide them from one another. This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness. It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of existence and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us is born with. Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the Osho Classics series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen. - Freedom Is To Know That Which Is - Existence Flows In and Out of You - Only the Center Can Win - Understanding Is More Than Enough - Nothing Changes a Man Except Awareness - Joy Is the Criterion - Not Knowing Is the Beginning of Zazen - You Are Already There - The Nondual Has Come - Happiness Is Always Herenow © & ℗ 1976 OSHO International Foundation
