    The whole of the Western intelligentsia has
    become immensely interested in Zen, but
    their interest remains intellectual. They have
    written great books, and we will be discussing
    in this manifesto almost everyone who has
    written books on Zen.

    My effort is to make you really clear that all
    these intellectuals may have written very
    beautiful books... I appreciate their
    scholarship, I appreciate their articulateness
    of expression, but they are not men of Zen, to
    say nothing of masters of Zen. Hence this
    manifesto is absolutely needed to make the
    whole world clear that Zen is not a mind affair.
    It is a no-mind space.

    I told you that all the religions are saying,
    "Drop the ego." Zen goes beyond the ego
    and beyond the self. Except Zen, no religion
    has come to the point of going beyond the
    self, beyond the atman, beyond your spirit,
    beyond your individuality. It is absolutely a
    single man's contribution to human
    consciousness -- Gautam the Buddha's.

    Zen is the ultimate flowering...

    Note:  The above Discourse #11
    (Sammasati — The Last Word) was spoken
    by Osho on April 10, 1989, and was the last
    public talk that Osho ever gave. As you can
    hear by playing the audio clip, Osho
    introduces the talk by saying it is the first
    discourse in a new series, originally
    planned to be titled The Awakening of the
    Buddha.

    As the continuation of his talks had ended,
    this last discourse was added instead as
    the final chapter of this series — The Zen
    Manifesto: Freedom From Oneself.

    Osho "left the body" ten months later, on
    January 19, 1990.
