Meditations on Tao by Osho (Osho Meditations) [Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Osho (Author, Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 1997 | Series: Osho Meditations

In his discourses on Tao, Osho speaks of the basics of Taoist life: wholeness and the importance and difficulty of attaining balance, or remaining in the middle. He asks, "Why be a part, a tiny part, when you can be the whole? Don't be the ego. When you can become the divine, why be satisfied with such a small, tiny, ugly thing?"

These remarkable discourses are original, live recordings made during Osho's extemporaneous daily talks to audiences of disciples and visitors at his meditation retreat in Poona, India. His talks were, and continue to be, central to his work as a mystic trying to find ways to share his experience. And as you listen to this great teacher,you, too, will enter a state of meditative awareness that will bring you to a new understanding of the freedom and joy of the paradoxical way of the Tao.

More About the Author

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.


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.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

2.0 out of 5 stars Osho the Anachronist, August 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Meditations on Tao by Osho (Osho Meditations) (Audio Cassette)

Osho has a fascinating mind and is a gifted speaker, but his views on the mind of women is positively embarrassing to listen to. Women only behave well when they behave intuitively? They do not respond to reason because they cannot understand reason? His jokes on the relations between men and women would be especially funny to a bunch of men sitting around a table in some smoke-filled bar. I wonder if Osho has ever read Hannah Arendt or Simone Weill?

I love Bhagwan. I alwayse have. If you understand the impersonality of tao this is a beautiful expression.
