The Buddha Said

Meeting the Challenge of Life's Difficulties

De: Osho

Narrado por: Osho

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"".

So Glad I found Osho on Audible

If you somehow feel like nothing in this world makes sense no one and nothing in this world speaks to you, Osho will speak to you. I can’t think of how I would get along without these Osho audible books. And I’m so glad that he was so prolific. I have someone that can speak to me for a very long time. Thank goodness.

Masterful!

This is a powerful and amazing talk! So much wisdom to be gained in listening! The audio quality was bad in a few spots though out of 20 plus hours of audio that’s not a bad thing.

Daunting but thoroughly good

Anyone who downloads a 36-hour lecture series knows that they're getting into something hardcore. I guess there's no rule that you have to listen to the entirety of a "book" like this, but if you do listen to all of this, know that you're in for a marathon.

A good marathon, though! Osho is gifted, and he has a bent to his lectures that can really appeal to Westerners. He bags on Western religion quite a bit, basically calling lots of it farcical, but everything is thoroughly grounded in Buddhism and everything ultimately ends up with a positive Buddhist spin (and not just a negative Christian one... although I certainly liked the dissection of Christianity).

I've listened to hundreds of hours of Buddhist content and Osho without doubt delivers some of the very best lines and thoughts that I've ever heard. My one grievance is that there is not that much about meditation and the practice of meditation. Lots of great Buddhist stuff on Audible really dives deeeep into meditation, and Osho not so much, at least not here. But anyway, still a very good listen.

Uncompromised

OSHO is an unwavering master or masters, a voice that should be heard by all

OSHO was the best

This is one of best speeches by OSHO. OSHO was way ahead of time and he still makes complete sense on western and eastern world, and the so called religious institutions. The institutions which is based on fear and greed.

Great book for everyone

The book is really speaking truth and guide us on path of spiritual life for everyone.

The eightfold path

This collection of talks about Buddhism are remarkable because they are not from the traditional Buddhist literature. In particular, one talk is outstanding because Osho provided a beautiful and original insight about the Eightfold Path.

The Buddha said is my Bible

What an amazing book.. Osho’s words of wisdom still live on..this book has changed my life.. I am addicted to listening to Osho on daily basis..

This book will make you aware of freedom

Here and now freedom is posible, just listen Osho and between each word be aware of the silence, this is real
Meditation.

The most beautiful explanation about all the Buddhas

This collection of teachings has brought me a deeper insight about life in several aspects. Before listening to this I’ve considered Osho as a great teacher; now I’m sure he is in fact a great Master.
