This Very Body the Buddha: beyond the pseudo-personality that surrounds you
About this audiobook
With an entire genre of self-help books available in the market, this series of talks by the enlightened mystic Osho stands apart. Through his commentary on the tiny but exquisite Song of Meditation by Hakuin, "one of the greatest of Zen masters", Osho speaks on how contemporary man goes through life with the idea that he must be different from how he is and so trying to change.
Whether the search is for self-improvement or self-realization, Osho simply states that "trying" is what is in the way. Just see that there is nothing to be done. Then life becomes a joy, a dance - and meditation has a song to sing.
"Remember Hakuin saying, 'From the very beginning all beings are buddhas.' From the very beginning to the very end: in the beginning, in the middle, in the end, all are buddhas. For not for a single moment have you been anybody else."

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.
