Story
Written more than 25 centuries ago, the Diamond Sutra is the first text to record the Buddha's own teachings, and it remains one of the most popular. Osho comments in a series of talks on these sutras and brings Buddha's teachings into the 21st century. One day, after the Buddha finishes his daily walk to collect alms, a senior monk steps forth to ask how he can best help humanity. Buddha responds, and thus begins a dialogue regarding the nature of perception.

Story
Commenting on the haunting songs of Kabir, Osho takes the listener to the very core of the human dilemma, to the simple cause of man's misery - that he thinks that he is separate from existence: his inability to comprehend why the fish in the sea is not thirsty. Osho also answers questions, speaking on emotions and being detached from them, aloneness and love, imitation, children and religion, rebellion, living in a balanced way, sex, the generation gap, and much more.

Story
Zen is not a theology, it is a unique phenomenon. Not easy to understand for a Western mind. Most religions exist around the concept of God. For Zen, the individual human is the goal - an end unto himself. So there is no concept of God in Zen. Certainly those who have been brought up as Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Jews, cannot conceive of what sort of religion Zen is. If there is no God, then it becomes atheism. It is not; it is theism to the very core - but without God. This is the first fundamental to be understood. Let it sink deep within you, then things will become clear.

Story
Ecstasy: The Forgotten Language invites us to rediscover our natural state of ecstasy. We have lost touch with our intrinsic nature, says Osho, because we no longer live existential lives; we put our whole focus on our private lives. We have lost contact with the real and live almost entirely in our minds, in our imaginations. This makes us dull and unhappy and unavailable for what life is really offering us. Society and civilizations originally evolved to support and protect us, but now the situation has reversed and instead we find ourselves existing to sustain them.

The organized religions have exploited humanity’s insecurity in the face of life’s mysteries by providing readymade sets of beliefs. But in an increasingly sophisticated, globalized society, the consolation of belief has been losing its appeal. And a purely materialistic science that denies consciousness, or that makes it merely a byproduct of matter, has nothing to offer as an alternative.

Moving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text - that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future - Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal-clear light as Lao Tzu.

“To be a buddha is not a difficult job. It is not some achievement for which you need a Nobel Prize”. Commenting on anecdotes and haikus by the Zen masters, Osho explains that being a buddha is the easiest thing in the world - it has already happened without you knowing. The empty heart, a place beyond thoughts and feelings, is within everyone. Meditation, and becoming truly thoughtless, is the key. Osho presents Zen as potent, alive, and relevant to the modern world.

Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind and there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Here, the contemporary mystic Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories, showing that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them - a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis.

In this audiobook on Zen, Osho takes the listener on an insightful journey into the ways of Zen masters: the master who refuses to discipline a monk caught stealing, despite protests from his other “honest” monks; the master who deceives his disciples into doing his bidding by using a two-headed coin; the master who would rather his disciples drank tea than listen to a discourse on truth... With masterly skill, Osho creates a beautiful exploration of Zen’s unique definition of truth, through his own understanding of the essence of truth and consciousness.

Story
All of the Osho audiobooks are created from his extemporaneous talks, and in this volume reflect the intimate setting in which they were given, with small audiences of those gathered in the Oregon commune around him. Everything is on the table - belief in God, the meaning of compassion, what happens when we die.
Publisher's Summary
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.

OSHO is the absolute best
If you want an insightful, irreverent and enlightening hours and hours of pure unadulterated wisdom... please! Listen to this audiobook! Do not read the book! Seriously! You have to listen to this stuff, there is no one on earth as skillful as OSHO, not Thay, not Eckhart, Not Krishnamurti, not Dalai Lama... non of the modern masters even come close!
I am so happy we have so much material of his... we truly are lucky...
WARNING:
For those expecting to learn about the heart sutra... beware!!! This does not talk about Avalokita or anything really, it does touch on emptiness and stuff like that... but more than anything the sutra is just a way to get the Dharma Talk started... which is brilliant!
Mullana Srudin told me so!!!

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!)

Amazing
No words could ever make you understand. Download Osho and FEEL the beauty of the truth found in the silences in between his talks. He does them pn purpose, as he knows the truth is only worth contemplating if it can be FELT and SEEN by those listening, otherwise it simply becomes cheap, borrowed knowledge. Download and see for yourself.

Confused and mostly nonsense
I've read a few beginners Buddhism books and have heard about The Heart Sutra only in passing. I have no idea what I just listened to, but I am certain it had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with The Heart Sutra, or 'becoming a buddha through meditation'.
Osho talks so slowly and leaves massive pauses, as though what he's saying is so profound the average person will need time to understand it, A few minutes in I had to adjust the play speed to 1.25 to get it up to what sounded like a normal rate of speech. I didn't mind that though to be honest because it cut four hours off the playing time. I found the pauses rather telling that he was in fact thinking up the next bit of nonsense to try and impress his easily lead crowd with. I got the feeling that he was taking advantage of people to be honest!
After the first chapter, I thought, okay, perhaps this Osho guy is just taking a bit of liberty and giving a kind of Introduction, so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and kept listening. Unfortunately the other chapters are also just confused ramblings of a seemingly self styled "guru". He goes from talking about Buddhism, to God, to Hinduism, to Enlightenment as though he has come up with some kind of religion that combines everything while being 'better' than any of them. I might have only a basic understanding of Buddhism, but I'm pretty sure Buddhism rejects both the concept of a Soul and a God, yet he would say something along the lines of 'the Buddha taught' and then a few breathes later be talking about a soul and the Christian concept of heaven, very odd.
I wasn't surprised to learn when I googled Osho that he was involved in a mass poisoning attack and an aborted assassination plot to murder a U.S. Attorney, among other crimes, which saw him being deported from the US and barred from entering 21 Countries.
In short, Osho seems be a snake-oil salesman, creating some kind of cult like organization by selling new age nonsense to those who don't know any better. Avoid!
