Osho Rajneesh Bücher

With complete frankness Osho discusses the three stages of sex - physical, psychological and spiritual - and provides guidance on how this raw energy can be transformed into the realization of ultimate consciousness. He explains that when we repress our basic nature, sex takes roots in the unconscious, creating an unnatural obsession. It is this psychic state that has produced much mental sickness and the widespread perversity of society today. "Sex is man's most vibrant energy," Osho says," but it should not be an end unto itself: sex should lead man to his soul."

Talks given to the Rajneesh Mystery School in the Himalayan foothills of Kulu-Manali, India and Kathmandu, Nepal December 1985 - February 1986

Osho is known around the world for his pioneering contribution to meditation -- the science of inner transformation -- with the unique approach of his "Osho Active Meditations" acknowledging the accelerated pace of the contemporary world and bringing meditation into modern life. Based on the Seven Points of Mind Training by the 11th-century Buddhist mystic Atisa, The Book of Wisdom removes the dust of tradition that has gathered around meditation, conveying the essential science and methodology of the practice with a freshness and spontaneity that is rarely found in contemporary spiritual works. The book is a guide for inner discipline and transformation that is also highly accessible, incorporating light, often humorous question-and-answer sessions between the author and his audience that help readers make the practical connection between spiritual theory and meditation as a lifestyle.

Early in this century a Lebanese poet, Kahlil Gibran, produced a book that has become universally known and loved for its beauty and the timeless themes it addresses. But because Gibran was a poet, not a mystic, in The Prophet he could give us only a work of imagination, a glimpse into the dream that is the mystic's everyday reality. The Messiah, Osho's two-volume commentary on The Prophet, must find itself as a companion to Gibran's work in the hands of every lover of truth and beauty. In this volume Osho speaks on the themes that Gibran addresses through the fictional prophet, love, children, giving, work; eating and drinking, and clothes; joy and sorrow; houses and homes, buying and selling; crime and punishment.

An insights into Jokes. Osho has an immense sense of humor. Osho Used Jokes as a medium to bring you back to the present during his discourses. This book is a great compilations of Joke that he told during his discourses. If you love humor. This IS the book for you.

This is the finest contribution in the field of human sexuality. Shattering our preconceived notions, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh shows that the very act of love is a key to the divine. Freud opened up for study the world of sexual pathology, Masters and Johnson the world of normal sexual behavior, now Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh brings us the path of Tantra where sex itself can become a door to the most profound religious experience - Leonard M. Zunin

There is a famous Zen story about a disciple, Riko, who once asked his master, Nansen, to explain to him the old Zen koan of the goose in the bottle. Namely, if a man puts a gosling into a bottle and feeds the gosling through the bottle's neck until it grows and becomes a goose - and then there is simply no more room inside the bottle - how can the man get it out without killing the goose or breaking the bottle? In response, Nansen shouts, "Riko!" and gives a great clap with his hands. Startled, Riko replies, "Yes master!" And Nansen says, "See! The goose is out!" In this Zen-flavored series of responses to questions, the contemporary mystic, Osho, cuts through the mad complexity of the contemporary human mind and its self-created "problems" with humor, compassion, and even an occasional shout and clap of his hands. The goose in the questioner's bottle may be a philosophical problem or an existential dilemma, a relationship drama or an emotional crisis - in each case, Osho's unique and transformational response sets the goose free, allowing us to rediscover the simple and innocent clarity each of us brings with us when we come into the world. From this space, problems are not solved but rather are dissolved: "The goose is out." This is a beautiful audio series giving an experience of a mystic working with people who are searching for themselves.

A deeply moving account of a rare and provocative experiment in human growth, these are Osho's last discourses given in the US. While most of his disciples are experiencing the fruition of their efforts to manifest a living community based on Osho's vision, the attempt of a small, power-motivated group's secret attempts to take control of the commune, and to poison Osho and his doctor is revealed as they flee the country. Through it all, Osho answers the questions of disciples and friends devastated and confused by the wanton disregard of his teachings by these few corrupted people. His answers expose the truth with uncompromising compassion as he talks on fascism, power games and individual responsibility. As always Osho indicates how absolutely everything can be used by the seeker to wake up and be more aware.

Commenting on Buddhist sutras, Osho speaks on ego, disciplehood, and trust and doubt.

Don't Bite My Finger, Look Where I'm Pointing. Initiation talks between master and disciple, by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. 212 pages paperback. (C)1982.

"This Upanishad...is the smallest - it can be written on a postcard - and yet it is the greatest document in existence," Osho declares. "There is no document of such luminosity, of such profoundness anywhere in the whole history of humanity." These sutras are amongst the most ancient wisdom available to mankind - transmitted from masters to their disciples twenty-five centuries before even Buddha. With clear metaphors, stories and jokes, we are introduced to the perspective of an enlightened master - a world view so total that it embraces the cosmic, a rebirth of the spirit of the Upanishads.SubjectUpanishadsTranslated fromNotesTime Period of Osho's original Discourses/Talks/Lettersfrom Oct 11, 1980 to Oct 26, 1980Number of Discourses/Chapters16

In this third book which covers much of the esoteric side of the spiritual search, Osho responds to questions from the small group of sannyasins with him on tour. He explains 'witnessing' or 'watching' as a 24-hour technique that can be done anytime, anywhere; and talks on astral projection, past lives, and the origins of depression.

Osho leitet 1964 in Rajasthan sein erstes Meditationscamp und zeigt bereits seine analytische Schärfe. Mit Mitgefühl und Klarheit spricht er über zentrale Themen wie Religion, Wissenschaft und die Natur der Wahrheit, die als lebendige Erfahrung verstanden werden muss.

This volume captures the fast pace of Osho's six-week stay in Nepal, the birthplace of Buddha. He answers questions from his sannyasins in his hotel suite in the mornings, from representatives of the press every evening in the hotel conference room: What is your message to the modern Nepalese Buddhists? What is your message for the Pope who is in India now? What do you think about the New Age movement? You teach us to be thankful to existence, but how can I be thankful to those who speak against you and try to destroy your work? With no white lies, no beating around the bush, no platitudes and no mincing of words, Osho's truth cuts clean with the skill of a master swordsman, and with the compassion symbolized in the lotus.

These are not just commentaries on the teachings of an ancient Zen master. Here is an alive, contemporary Zen master at work -- and as the meaning of Sosan's teachings are unraveled, so are the habitual patterns and prejudices of the reader's mind. Furthermore, Osho's work is so subtle and delicate, the surgery is performed almost before you know it. As you turn the last page, you may suddenly realize that you'll never again be quite so captivated by your own inner chatter -- and without any effort you've taken the first, vital step towards meditation. Review from sannyas dot org: "If I were to save only two books from the whole world of the mystics, one would be Sosan's Hsin Hsin Ming," Osho says. "It contains the quintessence of Zen, the path of awareness and meditation...the very soul of Zen." Himself a master of both words and silence, Osho builds a bridge between the modern, chattering mind and the infinite no-mind of Sosan through these Zen sutras - the only words uttered by Sosan, the 6th-century Chinese mystic and third Chinese patriarch.

The Shadow of the Initiation Talks Between Master and Disciple During the Period April 1 to 30, 1979, Given at Shree Rajneesh Ashram, Poona, dated 1984.

An extraordinary book written under extraordinary circumstances. Osho, the enlightened master who has over six hundred books to his name, speaks not in his usual lecture hall to thousands of seekers but in an intimate and eccentric setting to only four disciples. He tells stories and gives poetic and profound descriptions of books that had helped him '...when nothing else was shining in the darkness.' Osho talks about one hundred and sixty-eight books in all, from the great seers of the Far East and Indian mystics, to Nietzsche and Western philosophers and novelists. Here is a whole rainbow of the world's literary genius, woven together with wonderfully humorous personal comments and swings of the zen stick from Osho to his notetakers.

Using eleven Zen stories as a starting point and diving deep into their mysterious world, he then weaves his magical clarity on many diverse contemporary topics. From the true meaning of happiness to an understanding of the process of death, it's all here. To begin reading this book is to commence a journey into the world of wonder. Buddha’s disciple Subhuti is showered with blossoms upon experiencing sublime emptiness. But isn’t emptiness usually an absence of something? Through his commentary on this seemingly strange tale, Osho illuminates the vast difference between a negative and a sublime emptiness.

Discourses on The Dhammapada of Gautam the Buddha Osho reveals, through Buddha's teachings, the workings of the human mind.

Talks given to the Rajneesh International University of Mysticism, April 8, 1987 - April 19, 1987. In this Commentary on Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, Osho unravels the mystery of man's three metamorpbhoses from camel to lion to child, and in setting the record straight about the meaning of Nietzsche's concept of the superman shows us how we ourselvers can become the New Man. Zarathustra, through Osho's eyes, is first and shed tears just like the rest of us. He speaks to us as a friend, sorting methodically through to ins and out on the path of truth, giving each aspert a athorough and single-pointed attention. Each of Osho's talks thus becomes a lesson on a very specific theme, and each theme is a step deeper into the journey toward becoming "a god that can dance" a person who dares to shed all the bondages of false virtues and values and dance in innocence and joy with each moment of life.

In seinen Kommentaren zu fünf Gleichnissen aus „Das Buch Lieh-Tse” stellt Osho die uralte Weisheit des Tao in das Licht seiner unverstaubten und zeitgemäßen Deutung. Lieh-Tse war ein berühmter taoistischer Meister des 4. Jahrhunderts vor Chr., und seine geschickt versteckte aber gepfefferte Kritik an Konfuzius geben dem Leser Studienmaterial in Hülle und Fülle an die Hand, um zwischen entscheidenden Gegensätzen wie „rational und irrational“, „männlich und weiblich“, „durchstrukturiert und spontan” unterscheiden zu lernen.

Osho declares that if the Greek mathematician and mystic Pythagoras had been listened to and understood, humanity's history would have been totally different. Pythagoras is a man close to Osho's heart, with his understanding that materialism and spiritualism - East and West, body and soul - exist together, are not opposing forces but complementary facets of a harmonious whole. In this series of talks Osho discusses the verses of Pythagoras and responds to seekers' questions.

In this volume, Bhagwan illumines the final sutras of the Taoist Master Ko Hsuan, and answers questions from visitors.
