Take It Easy vol 1 & 2

Of the verses of the fourteenth Zen master, Ikkyu, Osho says that the point is not that they are great poetry but a device to stir the heart, to touch the being, because Ikkyu is a mystic. A strange fellow indeed, one hot day Ikkyu took a wooden Buddha from the temple and tied him to a pole saying, "Now you too cool yourself." And another day he burned a Buddha to keep himself warm in the night saying, "Look at me—the buddha inside is shivering." In these discourses Osho covers a vast arena from the state of no-mind before birth, to man's obsession with greed; from the difference between mind and consciousness, to the ultimate failure of love-affairs; from "scientific mysticism," to the psychology of politicians and the importance of dreams."
