There are people who transcend humanity, and Buddha is one of them. Despite one’s religious affiliation, one cannot deny that Buddha is one of the most prominent spiritual leaders of humanity. But there is a problem: True happiness in the sense that Buddha achieved is difficult. In the many years that I practiced meditation, I realized that it makes perfect sense to gather the most prolific and valuable quotes from Buddha. These quotes are inspirational.

Dena was a busy midwife trapped on the hamster wheel of working motherhood. Adam was an eccentric Buddhist yogi passing as a hardworking dad. Bella was 14 and wanted to be normal. Sophia was up for anything that involved skipping school. Together, they shouldered backpacks, walked away from their California life of all-night births, carpool schedules, and Cal Skate, and crisscrossed India and Nepal for eight months - a journey that led them to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the tree where the Buddha sat, and the arms of Amma the Divine Mother. 

In these delightful and playful talks, Osho introduces the mystery, the wonder and the emptiness that is Zen, not comparable to anything else and a completely different approach to life. The chapters alternate between elaborating original excerpts by the 14th Zen master, Ikkyu, taking us into the world of Zen – and responding to personal questions, which brings the world of Zen into our lives, connects with our issues and questions.

Using the Upanishadic vision, Osho contrasts the teachings of Buddha, J. Krishnamurti, and the Vedas, and explains how these different teachings have relevance to the way we live today.

 Alan Watts introduced millions of Western listeners to Zen and other Eastern philosophies, but he’s also recognized as a brilliant commentator on Judeo-Christian traditions as well as a celebrity philosopher who exemplified the ideas — and lifestyle — of the 1960s counterculture. 

Chinese writer Fan Wen manages to weave a fable of love, dreams, sacrifice, and spirituality, starting from the conflict between two prominent families - beneath the snow mountain of a picturesque Eastern Tibet - and ending with a journey in pursuit of personal salvation, self-esteem, and enlightenment. Steep in the magical lore of Tibetan Buddhism or Lamaism, Fan Wen brings his listeners into a world of magic and mystery, where no limitation of human capability is part of belief, and where legend turns often into myth and myth into history. 

For those of us who feel deeply committed to spiritual realization and to being instruments of benefit in the world, what Carl Jung called "the second half of life" represents a remarkable curriculum for awakening.
