About The Mystic Osho
The Mystic Osho, from his early childhood, made it clear that he was not going to blindly follow the conventions of the world around him. He continuously challenged attempts by everyone to shape his life. His ability to cut through the unconscious layers that cover truth is like that of a master surgeon, very precise. At the same time he adds the qualities of playfulness and celebration to spirituality.
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.
Osho introduced a series of what he called active meditation techniques to the world. His 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.
Osho 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.
Osho was born in India in 1931 and he left his body in January, 1990. What came through him during this brief stay is timeless and has the ability to transform the consciousness of mankind. He belongs to no tradition.
