Summary

Osho, one of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of our time, presents The Sutra of 42 Chapters—a scripture compiled in the first century C.E by a Chinese emperor. Two thousand five hundred years have passed since Buddha delivered the sutras on which this series is based.

Using modern idiom, Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha’s profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward, and humorous. Osho weaves his own unique insights into this profound ancient wisdom and expands its meaning for our time, discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire, and the discipline of non-attachment.

As we travel with the Buddha on a path of radical wisdom, we’ll laugh or shake our heads at the folly, the ineptitude, or the goodness of the characters in the stories—and gain knowledge and understanding at the same time.

Osho engages us at every level to help us experience the Buddha’s teachings and take in their timeless truths. A powerful, inspirational gem of a series of talks recorded in an outdoor auditorium with several thousands of people in his audience.

This is an abridged edition of an original series of talks by Osho titled, ""The Discipline of Transcendence"".

Osho <3

This book discourse is amazing. If you love Osho Gautama and other Budhas you should listen. It is a discipline of transcendence. Also look for SADHGUR JAGGI VASUDEV he is a master still in his body it is rear opportunity and time is running out

I loved this. Pure wisdom, delivered with intelligence and humour. OSHO was unique, and I have boundless appreciation for his words and insight.

Treasure Beyond Material - Don’t Just Collect Pebbles

OSHO explains wonderfully and we are blessed to
Have such a master existing. His own words cannot be misinterpreted and there lies the treasure.
Contradictory and will push you to the very edge of your realisation. Thank you 🙏

A master that has taught me nothing

A master so misunderstood that the only conclusion you get is to do the inner work and what a joy it has been. See you soon OSHO.
