In "The Man who Loved Seagulls", Osho - himself a master storyteller - discusses essential stories and parables from the world's great wisdom traditions of Zen, Taoism, Christianity, and Judaism. A powerful teaching tool, this collection of stories has been interpreted and applied to the concerns of modern day life making the valuable lessons it imparts both timely and universal. The stories encourage meditation as they are meant to be told and studied again and again, in order to discover new layers of meaning with each reading. Ideas and topics include: the futility of chasing happiness; the journey from fear to freedom; the Zen approach to death and dying; and, the extraordinary intelligence of innocence.
