Osho once said, “To be an Indian has nothing to do with geography; it as something to do forgotten the ways of the Buddha, and has forgotten how to live with Buddha. I am trying to reveal that treasure to you again. Let it sink deep in your heart. The first principle is the art of living. Be life-affirmative. Life is synonymous with God. You can drop the word God – ‘life is God’. Live with reverence, with great respect and gratitude. You have not earned this life; it is a sheer gift from the beyond. Feel thankful and prayerful, and take as many bites of it as possible and chew it before digesting it well. Make your life an aesthetic experience. And not much is needed to make it an aesthetic experience; just an aesthetic consciousness, a sensitive soul is enough. Become more sensitive, more sensuous, and you will become more spiritual.”
–Osho: Walking in Zen, Sitting in Zen
Zen means dhyan; it means meditation. The world dhyan is in Sanskrit. When it moved to the Buddhist language, Pali, it became Zhan. When it moved to China, it became Chan. When it moved to Japan, it became Zen. Zen mean dhyan – dhyan means a state of no – mind.
