Based on the anecdotes of Nansen, the poetry of Sekiso and the questions of a disciple, this series of talks is penetrated by Osho's love for the radical revolutionary depicted in the courageous innovator Nansen and his insistence that the spiritual is not apart from the material - The Point of Departure. Challenging the reader to be a whole person, not denying anything, Osho continually hits us with the Zen stick of his wit, encouraging us to "transform everything, including everything in your spiritual growth." Series Title: Nansen: The Point of Departure Based on the anecdotes of Zen master, Nansen, the Zen poetry of Sekiso, and questions from a disciple, this series of talks conveys Osho’s love for this radical revolutionary master of the Zen tradition. Osho speaks of Nansen as a courageous innovator who insisted that the spiritual is not separate from the material - which Nansen calls, "the point of departure" to enlightenment. Osho says: "After Bodhidharma, Nansen is a new point of departure. He opens Zen to a wider variety, he gives Zen more dimensions. It is no more a small stream, but becomes an ocean." Challenging the reader to be a whole person, not denying anything, Osho continually hits us with the Zen stick of his wit, encouraging us to "transform everything, including everything in your spiritual growth."
