Osho is an enlightened Master who created a new meditative path which brings together the silence of the East and the celebration of the West to create a fusion which he calls Zorba the Buddha. His meditations use the path of meditation and silence and the path of love and celebration to bring about awareness and no-mind. The Mystic Osho introduced a series of what he called active meditation tech
niques to the world. They first release mind/body stress and slow down the overthinking mind. Osho’s understanding is that in our fast-paced modern world it is not so easy to go straight from our hectic level of activity to the more traditional, completely silent sitting meditations. The meditations are from many traditions and are for everyone who wants to meditate. Osho speaks on virtually every aspect of the development of human consciousness. His talks cover a staggering range – from the meaning of life and death to the struggle of power and politics, from the challenges of love and creativity to the significance of science and education. He has an uncanny ability to translate ancient teachings into modern day understandings. He speaks on a vast array of spiritual traditions, such as Christianity, Sufism, Hassidism, Zen, Taoism and Buddhism. He also shares stories of the colorful history of mystics from all over the world! Osho’s model for humanity is to unite the celebrative qualities of Zorba, with the depths of understanding arising from meditation. Hence he coined the expression Zorba the Buddha for a new kind of being. We would recommend that you visit www.osho.com.
