Infamous for his posh lifestyle and outrageous teachings, Osho—who referred to himself as "Zorba the Buddha"—was the prolific author and speaker featured in this autobiography culled from his myriad writings and published talks. Raised in India, Osho was only 21 years old when he had his first prolonged enlightenment experience. Following a brief stint as a philosophy professor, he began speaking publicly about meditation in talks that became increasingly radical, until he was known (and shunned) in India as a sex guru. Finding America more accepting of his teachings and his persona, Osho chose a remote corner of the Pacific Northwest to create a perfect and free community, all the while maintaining his relentless challenge to the sacred tenets of established religious thought. Infame por su vida decadente y sus enseñanzas escandalosas, Osho—quien se llamaba "Zorba el Buda"—era un autor prolÃfico cuya biografÃa viene de su plétora de escrituras y lecturas públicas. Criado en India, Osho tenÃa solamente 21 años cuando tuvo su primera iluminación. Después de un episodio breve como profesor de filosofÃa, empezó a dar clases de meditación—clases cuyas ideas se transformaron en unas más radicales, hasta que Osho fue conocido (y rechazado) como el guru del sexo. En América encontró un público más aceptante de sus escrituras y su personalidad, y empezó a formar una comunidad perfecta y libre, al mismo tiempo que continuó desafiando los rituales sagrados de las establecidas creencias religiosas.
