The Dhammapada - The Way of the Buddha Vol.09

The Dhammapada Vol. 09 continues Osho's celebrated series of talks on the Dhammapada, one of the most influential collections of the Buddha's teachings. In this volume, Osho explores one of the most beautiful dimensions of the spiritual journey: compassion¿the natural flowering of meditation and awareness. Rather than offering a traditional commentary, Osho creates a bridge between the Buddha's timeless wisdom and the challenges of contemporary life. Alternating between illuminating the Buddha's original sutras and responding to questions from his audience, he reveals how ancient insights become practical guidance for modern seekers. Compassion, Osho explains, is not a moral ideal or something to be cultivated through discipline. It is the natural outcome of inner transformation. As meditation deepens, anger, greed, fear, jealousy, and attachment are not suppressed¿they are understood and transcended. The same energies are transformed into compassion, freedom, wisdom, and love. Throughout these talks, Osho explores the nature of awareness, inner freedom, truth, responsibility, and the courage to live consciously. He presents the Buddha not as a figure to be worshipped, but as an invitation to discover truth through direct experience. Talks in This Volume Be On Guard Is There Life Before Death?

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit  www.OSHO.com Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho) About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.  Biographical: Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic, ST.
