<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book is about the inner search and personal transformation, sharing insights that address our deepest question of life, introducing 11 teaching stories from different Zen masters. At the conclusion of each talk, Osho responds to questions from his international audience, providing direct guidance on matters of love, understanding, and "the search." The body and the soul are discussed as the two aspects of importance. Our bodies can be used to reach to the stars, but they must have strong roots here on Earth first. Osho highlights how one's life can be transformed through integrating meditation into daily life. He also bypasses the rational mind and speaks directly to the heart. The Zen stories Osho uses illustrate the mysterious yet simple world of Zen, where any situation can be used to become more aware, more conscious, more alive.<BR><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Eleven classic anecdotes provide starting points to demonstrate the relevance of Zen to every aspect of 21st-century life. From the professor so full of his own ideas that he has no room for any new learning, to the monastery cook who solves a koan by kicking over a jug of water, readers will see themselves, their friends, and even modern-day celebrities and politicians reflected in the characters who populate these fascinating Zen stories. In each chapter, following the discussion of the story at hand, Osho responds to questions from his audience about matters of love, life, relationships, and "the search." Throughout the book he emphasizes the importance both of honoring our roots in the simple pleasures of everyday life, and nourishing the wings that allow us to experience our connection with that which is universal, transcendent, and eternal.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><br>Zen masters are dangerous people! While many of their stories have an entertaining aspect, the real meaning behind them is the total and radical transformation of human beings. Osho is a contemporary "Zen Master" and according to his own statements even more dangerous than the ancient masters. <p/>Like the masters of old, Osho tries to create situations for modern seekers that allow instant awakening, or enlightenment - to bring us out of the old habits and patterns of the mind and its illusions, out of the fog of conditioned beliefs and assumptions, and into the reality of the atomic, clear moment - the here and now. <p/>"Be rooted in the body so you can have wings in the soul," he says. "Be rooted in the earth so you can spread into the sky; be rooted in the visible so you can reach into the invisible. Don't create duality and don't create any antagonism. If I am against anything, I am against antagonism. I am against being against anything; I am for the whole, for the complete circle." <i>A Bird on the Wing</i> is an invitation to enter the world of Zen: to move from words to silence and from theory to experience. <p/>This book will take you as far as words can go; the rest is up to you. This is the very essence of Zen.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>"Be rooted in the body so you can have wings in the soul.
