Nowhere to Go but In

Nowhere to Go but In
Unique answers to real questions


In this book Osho answers a wide range of seeker’s questions, speaking on themes such as the nature of enlightenment, the seeking of spiritual powers, the relationship between meditation and love; on love and marriage, marriage and sex, sex as a meditation and Tantra.

In explaining a meditation technique called "tratak," Osho says it is "an experiment in just looking. It can be done under the open sky, in nature -- looking without mentally processing the images on the eye. In a short while you will find that the outside sky has entered you; that the sky outside and the sky within you have merged to become the great sky, all boundaries have disappeared."

Nine Sutras

Nine Sutras


Osho talks for the first time on his own Nine Sutras. Opening boundless new dimensions to the meaning and significance of the word yoga, he illuminates its vast scope and takes us way beyond what may well be our limited and limiting understanding of it. Using modern scientific knowledge to help us experiment with and experience our inner world, Osho gives us an in-depth introduction to his famous Dynamic meditation and takes us on a timeless journey into the beyond, home to ourselves.

"I have told you these Nine Sutras, not so that your knowledge may increase, not so that you may become more knowledgeable I have said all these things in the hope that, perhaps, you may get nudged a little, and you may take off on some journey."
-Osho

The New Alchemy: To Turn You On

The New Alchemy
To Turn You On


The New Alchemy: To Turn You On is a practical, detailed guide for those exploring meditation. Osho has a vast understanding of the steps and pitfalls along the way and the unique gift of communicating them directly and simply: “Whenever you have found a technique, a way, retreat within, go within. Experiment with it there, in your subjectivity, in your heart. Experience it. Don’t just go on thinking about what meditation is. Do it! Only then will you know what it is.”

While the emphasis is on active meditation, Osho skillfully interweaves commentaries on Mabel Collins’ Light on the Path, to further support the seeker’s understanding: “These are the sutras achieved by ultimate wisdom. They are deep and sometimes very complex, even contradictory, but they are the ultimate flowering of wisdom.”

"No one is more qualified to introduce the mystics than Osho, a man who stands out even in their exalted company. He speaks from his own experience, bringing his mystic predecessors to life, making them his contemporaries."
John Lilly

No Water, No Moon

No Water, No Moon


Brimming with paradox and humor, OSHO is guaranteed to shake, shock and delight with these discourses based on Zen stories.

This book is about sudden enlightenment – that supreme moment when we cease struggling to understand with our minds matters that are beyond the mind, and jump wholeheartedly into the abyss. OSHO offers us deep insights into ourselves, our individual natures and the universe.


'I found No Water, No Moon one of the most refreshing, cleansing and delightful books I could imagine. It is a book which will never cease to be a comforting companion.'
-Yehudi Menuhin

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare


Why does Osho say that nirvana, enlightenment, is a nightmare – and not only a nightmare but the last nightmare? Because as long as we keep hoping for some future paradise, we are sacrificing the present moment for a moment that will never come. Our desire to achieve nirvana becomes the very obstacle to its happening.

Osho challenges us to wake up and stop dreaming. He exposes the tricks and habits of our minds that keep us from being in the here and now, living this moment totally.

As he retells five beautiful Zen stories and relates them to our lives today, we begin to discover the art of being present and joyful in the simple ordinariness of life.

Notes of a Madman

Notes of a Madman


Osho creates a loosely woven tapestry of vivid, humorous and touching impressions and glimpses giving the feeling we are having a personal meeting with the master.

This small volume is one of three unique books from talks given in the unlikely setting of his dental sessions. In this atmosphere, Osho speaks in a poetic way on a wild and wonderful range of subject. It is a rare and intimate glimpse of enlightenment. He speaks on danger, beauty, madness, freedom, the fool. He tells us that fear is the only enemy of women.

He weaves haikus of his own, and haikus from Zen mystics, with a loved Tibetan mantra: "Of the mortal and the immortal, of darkness and light, of the changing and the unchanging...Om mani padme hum."

No Mind, The Flowers of Eternity

No Mind

The Flowers of Eternity

This beautifully presented volume chronicles twelve days of upheaval in the life of OSHO and his disciples as he returns from a long period of illness to announce that he is dropping his former name, Bhagwan.

Using anecdotes about Zen masters and their disciples, as well as a magnificent selection of haikus, OSHO reveals the mystery of Zen as something to be savored rather than solved.

He then confirms the assertion of a Japanese seeress that he has become a vehicle for the wandering soul of Gautama the Buddha, who has promised to return to the world as Maitreya, the friend.

A landmark of a book, intriguing and amusing.

(The) New Dawn

The New Dawn


A many-faceted series of discourses in which OSHO dismantles a great variety of questions from disciples.

One asks: With the imminent possibility of global suicide isn't it a paradox that all we can do is to sit silently? Another worries about the misuse of genetic science, and a third isn't sure how to respond to the madness of living in the world. And there are many questions of the heart: about feelings of unworthiness; how to make the transition from loneliness to aloneness and what we learn from love. OSHO's responses are applicable to everyone, everywhere, who is sincerely seeking to understand and to evolve.


'Never before or after have I encountered anybody having such a harmonious and immensely creative view encompassing art, science, human psychology and religiousness. Certainly we would lack substantially without his vision of the new man.'Dr. A. Schleger, Ph.D., Institute of Technology, Switzerland

Nansen: The Point of Departure

Nansen
The Point of Departure


Based on the anecdotes of Nansen, the poetry of Sekiso and the questions of a disciple, this series of talks is penetrated by OSHO's love for the radical revolutionary, the courageous innovator Nansen, and his insistence that the spiritual is not apart from the material, The Point of Departure.

Challenging the reader to be a whole person, not denying anything, OSHO continually hits us with the Zen stick of his wit, encouraging us to 'transform everything, including everything in your spiritual growth.'

(The) Mustard Seed

(The) Mustard Seed


This timely book explores the wisdom of the Gnostic Jesus, who challenges our preconceptions about the world and ourselves.

Based on the Gospel of Thomas, the book recounts the missing years in Jesus’ life and his time in Egypt and India, learning from Egyptian secret societies, then Buddhist schools, then Hindu Vedanta.

Each of Jesus' original sayings is the "seed" for a chapter of the book; each examines one aspect of life — birth, death, love, fear, anger, and more — counter pointed by Osho’s penetrating comments and responses to questions from his audience.

Meetings With Remarkable People

Meetings With Remarkable People

Osho says of these remarkable people: "They lived in consciousness and they impressed the human consciousness."

"Don't live in events: Live in awareness:"

Here Osho brings to life most influential religious and spiritual leaders from a variety of cultures, from Buddha to Jesus to Krishna; poets such as Lao Tzu and Rumi; philosophers including Pythagoras and Socrates to Heraclites and Nietzsche; and great thinkers of more recent times, including Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti, and Kahlil Gibran.

Osho uses their lives and knowledge to guide the reader in a profound journey of spiritual discovery and wisdom.

Meditation: The First and Last Freedom

Meditation: The First and Last Freedom

A practical guide to meditation

Why does Osho call meditation "the first and last freedom"? – because in his understanding, meditation is the dimension through which every individual can realize his own, unique potential, the unlimited personal freedom that is available to all of us.

This book is a compilation drawn from Osho’s many years of work on meditation.

It contains a wide variety of over 60 meditation techniques: some traditional – like zazen, the ancient Buddhist practice – others are Osho’s unique formula especially designed for the 21st Century seeker.

In addition, Osho answers questions about some of the more common obstacles meditators may meet along the way.

An invaluable companion for any seeker.

Maturity

Maturity
The Responsibility of Being Oneself


In a culture infatuated with youth, and determined to avoid old age at all costs, this book dares to raise a question that has been all but forgotten in the age of Viagra and cosmetic surgery. What benefits might lie in accepting the aging process as natural, rather than trying to hold on to youth and its pleasures all the way to the grave?

Osho takes us back to the roots of what it means to grow up rather than just to grow old. Both in our relationships with others, and in the fulfillment of our own individual destinies, he reminds us of the pleasures that only true maturity can bring He outlines the ten major growth cycles in human life, from the self-centered universe of the pre-schooler to the flowering of wisdom and compassion in old age.

A unique sense of humor runs like a thread through the book, along with a profound compassion and understanding of how easy it is to be distracted from the deeper meaning and purpose of our lives - which is, ultimately, to flower into our own individual uniqueness and maturity with an attitude of celebration and joy.


Reviews

"This wise and witty book is the baby boomers’ bible! It offers hot tips on maturity as the path to wisdom, the art of transcending problems rather than having to solve them, and the secret of transforming a mid-life crisis into a creative explosion."
-Margot Anand, author of The Art of Sexual Ecstasy and The Art of Everyday Ecstasy.

Meditation Inc.

Meditation Inc.

One has to learn the art of relaxation rather than learning the strategies of how to conquer the world and the reality. I'm not telling you to relax the whole day. Do your work, but find some time for yourself, and that can be found only in relaxation.

And you will be surprised that if you can relax for an hour or two hours: - it will give you a deeper inside into yourself. - It will change your behavior outwardly - it will be more calm, more quiet. - It will change the quality of your work - it will be more artistic and more graceful. You will be committing fewer mistakes than you used to commit before, because now you are more together, more centered.

Ma Tzu: The Empty Mirror

Ma Tzu: The Empty Mirror

He walked like a cow and looked like a tiger. He could touch his nose with his tongue and had two rings on the soles of his feet!The unpredictable Ma Tzu brings fresh responses and devices to every situation, the empty mirror who simply reflects.

To see things as they really are, you have to be absolutely empty, a mirror, clean, without any prejudices, without any judgments.

And that is Ma Tzu's whole teaching: Don't react, just be, and reflect.
