In this series of talks Osho introduces his audience to Gautama the Buddha and his great contribution to the development of human consciousness and the science of meditation. Each talk examines an excerpt from the classic Buddhist text known as the “Heart Sutra.” With his unique ability to translate ancient and often obscure language into fresh and contemporary terms, Osho brings Buddha’s teachings to life and shows how they are even more relevant today than they were in Buddha’s time. His responses to questions from the audience further illuminate the ways in which Buddha’s message of pure awareness can inform and enrich every aspect of our everyday lives.For more than 35 years, Osho, a contemporary mystic, met with international audiences and addressed both the timeless and timely concerns of individuals seeking a greater understanding of themselves and their world. His talks were recorded live, have been remastered in high-quality MP3 sound, and are published here in their original series format.“Buddhahood is not something to be attained. It already exists at the essential core of your being. It just needs to be uncovered. The buddha nature is found through the practice of looking inwards." —Osho.

In this series of talks, Osho introduces his audience to Zen, with its emphasis on being alert and attentive to the simplest acts of ordinary life as a way to experience meditation. He reminds his listeners that the most profound insights into the nature of reality are found in moments when we are—by accident or intention—free from our usual patterns, habits and expectations. Zen stories serve as a starting point for several talks in the series, illuminating the nature of that rare and precious human capacity to transcend the limits of the rational mind. In alternating talks, Osho responds to questions from listeners about how these insights can be applied to everyday challenges and life concerns.For more than 35 years, Osho, a contemporary mystic, met with international audiences and addressed both the timeless and timely concerns of individuals seeking a greater understanding of themselves and their world.
