In "Tao" nimmt Osho die Zuhörer mit auf eine Reise in die Welt von Laotse, Zhuangzi, Liehzi und Koh Xuan – die Welt des Taoismus, einer der vier großen spirituellen Traditionen Chinas. Die 3000 Jahre alte taoistische Botschaft der Selbsterkenntnis wird lebendig, während Osho die Geschichten dieser chinesischen Mystiker erzählt. Im Gegensatz zur gängigen Vorstellung vom Taoismus, der einen eher gelassenen, dem Fluss des Lebens entsprechenden Lebens nahelegt, beschreibt Osho das Tao als ein Konzept von Freiheit, Anarchie und Chaos.

A collection of Taoist visualizations seldom taught outside China. This ancient system uses traditional Taoist imagery to build self-awareness, unity of mind and body, and - ultimately - enlightenment. While healing with imagery is relatively new to the West, its use in China dates back to Taoist texts from the third century B.C.E.

Zhuang Zi, quizá el más grande de los escritores taoístas, floreció hacia el siglo -IV. El libro que lleva su nombre consta de 33 capítulos, de los que la crítica moderna ha dejado establecido que se le pueden atribuir con seguridad los siete primeros. Para Zhuang Zi, el bien sumo del ser humano es la armonía y la libertad, las cuales se alcanzan si uno sigue con espontaneidad la propia naturaleza. Central al pensamiento del Zhuang-Zi es la doctrina de la no-acción (wu-wei), es decir, del obrar desapegadamente.

Даже те, кто уже отчаялся познать смысл жизни и научиться медитировать, достигали успеха с помощью этой загадочной мантры.

Беседы Ошо по историям Чжуан-цзы — это размышления о разных способах поиска своего настоящего "Я". Как известно, многие мистики, стремящиеся к просветлению, сначала терпели неудачу. Они работали над собой днем и ночью, непрестанно медитировали, практиковались — и вновь терпели поражение. Но когда они уже совсем отчаивались и отбрасывали усилия, просветление приходило к ним само собой...Чжуан-цзы, основатель даосизма, говорит, что только так мы можем познать самих себя — не прилагая усилий.
