The Dhammapada Vol. 11 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.
These teachings explore different aspects of human unawareness and emphasize Buddha's key message of raising our consciousness. Compiled by Buddha's disciples, these sutras capture the essence of his wisdom. This collection marked the final turning of the Wheel of Dharma 2,500 years ago. At the beginning of his commentaries on these teachings, Osho says that he is setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion once again for a new era. Osho comments on the sutras from Buddha from a contemporary perspective and in alternate chapters responds to questions from the audience.

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.
