Daily Zen - Tuesday, December 12

Life knows only one moment, and that is 

the present. Life knows only one space, 

and that is here. Now and here: these two 

words are the most significant words in 

the human language; they represent reality.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Wednesday, November 20

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.

Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches.

Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and

sadness is like the roots going down into the womb

of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree

goes, the deeper it goes simultaneously...

it is always in proportion. That's it's balance.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Friday, November 15

To be creative means to be in love

with life. You can be creative only 

if you love life enough that you want to

enhance its beauty, you want to bring 

a little more music to it, a little more

poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Friday, October 25

Be –– don't try to become.

~ Osho

Weekend Zen, June 29-30

Drop the idea of 

becoming someone,

because you are already

a masterpiece. You cannot

be improved. You have only 

to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Friday, October 26

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.

Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches.

Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, 

and sadness is like the roots going 

down into the womb of the earth. 

Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, 

the deeper it goes...that's its balance.

~ Osho 

Weekend Zen, August 4-5

I live my life based on two 

principles. One, I live as if today

was my last day on earth. 

Two, I live today as if I am 

going to live forever.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Friday, February 16

Whatever you feel, you become.

It is your responsibility.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Thursday, October 26

Life is a dance...and the dance 

goes on with us and without us.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Friday, June 30

The real question is not whether life exists after death.

The real question is whether you are alive before death.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Thursday, May 25

Do not search. That which is, is.

Stop and see.

~ Osho

Weekend Zen, February 18-19

Take hold of your own life. 

See that the whole existence is celebrating. 

These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious.

The rivers and the oceans are wild, everywhere there is fun,

everywhere these is joy and delight. Watch existence, 

listen to the existence and become part of it.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Wednesday, May 18

The moment you start clinging to things, you have 

missed the target --- you have missed. Because things 

are not the target, you, your innermost being, is 

the target --- not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;

not much money, but a rich you; not many things, 

but an open being, available to millions of things.

~ Osho

Daily Zen - Tuesday, March 1

You can be creative only if you love life enough

that you want to enhance its beauty,

you want to bring a little more music to it,

a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

Daily Zen - Monday, November 24

Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock,

don't demand - relax. If you relax, it comes.

~ Osho

Weekend Zen, August 10-11

There is nothing to do. One just has to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural.
