Start With Meditation distills Osho’s guidance through the Zen fragrance of Lin Chi: begin in innocence, learn conscious effort, then let effort dissolve into effortless awareness. Lin Chi’s final teaching—“Just listen”—is not a slogan but an instruction: allow the ordinary to be utterly sacred, the small and the great to carry the same weightless importance. From this equal-hearted listening, silence deepens, serenity ripens, and sensitivity becomes a natural way of being.
This practice invites you to drop borrowed ideas and meet life directly, to steady the flame of attention, and then relax into choiceless awareness where every sound, sensation, and breath is received without preference. What flowers in meditation—silence, blissfulness, sensitivity—is then consciously shared in daily life, so the inner fragrance beautifies the world. Begin simply. Let existence be a joyful dance. Share what grows. And discover the deathless ease of saying goodbye without sadness—only with the clarity of one who has truly listened.
