Osho on Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu, embodying a profound wholeness that transcends the mind's perfectionism and ego, reconciles opposites—wisdom with foolishness and knowledge with acknowledged ignorance—revealing that true innocence, often perceived as folly, is in fact the essence of paradoxical wisdom.

Osho's perspective on Lao Tzu

"Lao Tzu's teachings are not for the defeated or the anguished; they are for those who are ready to see through the illusion of bondage and simply let go."

Lao Tzu says you’re not really sick—just confused—so if you truly understand, you stop suffering without needing special tricks.

"To call Lao Tzu total is to recognize the beauty of wholeness that transcends the mind's need for perfection, embracing all opposites and revealing the profound wisdom in innocence."

Being total means welcoming all of you—smart and silly, knowing and not knowing—without picking sides.

"Foresight is the ability to recognize that the masculine mind will falter, and only the feminine consciousness can heal humanity; in our deepest crises, we find the urgency to embrace the teachings of Lao Tzu and choose the path of Tao."

Foresight means seeing trouble before it happens; Lao Tzu saw our pushy, fighting way would hurt us, so we’re bringing back his gentle, simple way to heal things now.
