description: "What is this ancient music? Osho says it is the soundlesssound, the sound of existence itself and it is surrounding us all the timebut we just cannot hear it. He tells us that listening is all thatmeditation is about - how to listen to that which is already there. Withthe help of five really great Zen stories and questions from disciples,Osho goes into careful detail on what meditation is. He helps us examinethe mechanism of our mind and how to understand it, because without thisunderstanding we may go on doing things which help the mind to function inits old patterns. And to hear the ancient music, mind has to be put aside.Osho describes creativity as the main quality that makes Zen superior toany other way of life. He talks about how the artist sees each leaf of atree as different, unique, individual, and how for the poet each word hasits own subtle music. Osho takes us into the world of Zen where we areencouraged, or rather inspired, to grow towards more sensitivity, to bemore alive, more silent, so that we may hear it - that music - it is here.Shhh!" -- IMa Prem Shunyo/I
