Love, Freedom, Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships (2002)
In today’s world, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with that freedom, and learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we are denying ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else.Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other. Is it possible to be alone and not lonely? Where are the boundaries that define “lust” versus “love”and can lust ever grow into love?
Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously (1999)
Courage is not the absence of fear, says Osho. It is, rather, the total presence of fear, with the courage to face it. This book provides a bird’s-eye view of the whole terrain-where fears originate, how to understand them, and how to find the courage to face them. In the process, Osho proposes that whenever we are faced with uncertainty and change in our lives, it is actually a cause for celebration.
Emotions: Freedom from Anger, Jealousy and Fear (2013)
This book is a simple guide to a better understanding of emotions. Anger, jealousy, and fear are the three big topics of this book, together with some simple meditations to deal with these emotions. The book consist of short quotes and text excerpts, giving the reader unusual and new insights into an understanding of emotions. Our feelings play a profound role in how we feel about ourselves, and they can even affect our physical health.
Osho Zen Tarot: The Transcendental Game Of Zen (79-Card Deck and 192-Page Book) (1995)
79-card deck and 192-page book. When life seems to be full of doubt and uncertainty we tend to look for a source of inspiration: what will happen in the future? What about my health, the children? What will happen if I make this decision and not that one? This is how the traditional tarot is often used, to satisfy a longing to know about the past and future. This Osho Zen Tarot focuses instead on gaining an understanding of the here and now.
The Search: Finding Your Inner Power, Your Potential (OSHO Classics) (2014)
The question remains — what is life and where does the life energy come from; what is the source? An ancient Zen story symbolizes the search for the source of life. Zen master Kakuan’s story of The Ten Bulls of Zen is a teaching that uses ten images, each representing a particular step on the journey of experiencing and understanding what it means to be a conscious and aware human being.
Awareness: The Key to Living in Balance (Insights for a New Way of Living) (2001)
Underlying all meditation techniques, including martial arts―and in fact underlying all great athletic performances―is a quality of being awake and present to the moment, a quality that Osho calls awareness.
Creativity: Unleashing the Forces Within (Osho Insights for a New Way of Living) (1999)
As Osho points out in this book’s foreword, historically, the creative person has been all but forced to rebel against the society.But nowadays, the situation has dramatically changed.
Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other (2001)
“Hit-and-run” relationships have become common in our society as it has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing―a quality of intimacy.This quality has very little to do with the physical, though sex is certainly one possible door.
Tantra: The Supreme Understanding (2009)
In this all-time best seller, Osho discusses the mystical insights found in the ancient Tantric writings, and the many significant Tantric meditation techniques that are as relevant to the modern-day seeker as they were to those in earlier times.As always, Osho brings his own unique blend of wisdom, humor, and thought-provoking inspiration to even this complex subject, making it accessible to the widest possible audience. #43,097 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #14 in Bhag…
Meditation (2004)
In this essential meditation handbook for the twenty-first century, Osho turns the traditional notion of meditation practice on its head. Meditation: The First and Last Freedom shows that meditation is not a spiritual discipline separate from everyday life in the real world. In essence, it is simply the art of being aware of what is going on inside and around us.
Joy: The Happiness That Comes from Within (Osho Insights for a New Way of Living) (2009)
With an artful mix of compassion and humor, Osho shows us that joy is the essence of life, that even unhappiness has its root in joy. He encourages us to accept joy by being grateful to be alive and for the challenges and opportunities in life, and by finding the good in all that we have―rather than setting conditions or demands for happiness. By embracing joy, one comes closer to a true, peaceful, and balanced state.
Fear: Understanding and Accepting the Insecurities of Life (2012)
In Fear: Understanding and Accepting the Insecurities of Life, Osho takes the reader step by step over the range of what makes human beings afraid―from the reflexive “fight or flight” response to physical danger to the rational and irrational fears of the mind and its psychology.
