The Heart Sutra

Becoming a Buddha Through Meditation

By: Osho

Narrated by: Osho

The Heart Sutra, originally a very short set of verses, was given in privacy as a message to one of Buddha's close disciples, Sariputra, specifically addressed to him. Over time the Heart Sutra became one of Buddhism's core teachings.

In these 10 talks, Osho presents the powerful message of these ancient words and brings them to a modern audience - one with different minds and needs than the original audiences of Buddha more than 2,500 years ago. Osho's message is not about Buddha the historical figure; instead he addresses his listeners and encourages them to discover their own inner realities, their own buddhahood. Like Buddha's, Osho's message is about meditation and meditation alone - "rely only on your meditation and nothing else".

Osho also speaks on the seven chakras, the energy centers of the human body, and their corresponding relationships to the physical, psychosomatic, psychological, psychospiritual, spiritual, spiritual-transcendental, and transcendental aspects of human growth and consciousness.

The Core of Buddhism

Delightfully led discussions on the very heart of Buddhism. Always a fan of OSHO and his light-hearted journey through the mind.

One of my favorite Osho discourses

One of my favorite discourses from Osho sharing the sutras of Gautam of the Buddha - The Heart Sutra. Brilliant funny absolutely full of wisdom – not to be missed!

Geosphere->Biosphere->Noosphere->Christosphere

A beautiful and inspiring interpretation of the Heart Sutra by Osho.

The Osho's interpretation of the last part of the sutra is sublime, the parallelism between Theilard de Chardin and Buddha regarding the purification of the consciousness is a genius touch:

Gate (gone from the Geosphere, unconsciousness)

Gate (gone from the Biosphere, pre-consciousness)

Paragate (gone from the Noosphere, conscience)

Parasamgate (Christosphere, Turiya, the other shore)

Bodhi soha (Hallelujah!)

pure osho

one of the best! osho has a clarity no one has but you know that by now

Another mirror

As I have recently been more drawn to Buddhism, I may feel more compelled by this discourse. I felt very moved by Osho’s spirit in this discourse. Another excellent mirror.
