Oggi la situazione sta cambiando, e questo perché l'intero contesto in cui viviamo sollecita nuove sfide che richiedono "risposte creative" funzionali al mondo liquido sorto intorno a noi. Per non lasciarsi travolgere dagli eventi, occorre spostarsi dall'abitudine a rispettare le certezze culturali e della tradizione, la propensione a dipendere dagli insegnamenti e dai comportamenti convenzionali, per avvicinare e coltivare le proprie qualità essenziali ed esistenziali.

Audio Edition - gelesen von Volker Braumann. In diesem provokativen Buch entwirft Osho eine zeitgemäße Vision der Liebe ohne moralische Zwänge. Von Mann und Frau fordert er, sich aus ihrer gegenseitigen Sklaverei zu lösen und einander die Freiheit zu schenken. Freiheit und Liebe fügen sich in Oshos Vision untrennbar zusammen. Doch auch das Alleinsein gehört dazu. Für Osho steht das Alleinsein nicht im Gegensatz zum Geliebtwerden, sondern ist dessen Ergänzung.

»Das Buch der Geheimnisse« nimmt innerhalb Oshos umfangreichen Werks eine Sonderstellung ein. Basierend auf einer alten Schrift ‘Vigyan Bhairav Tantra’ gibt Osho klare Anweisungen für jede der 112 Meditationen, die leicht zu befolgen sind und er begleitet jede Meditationsübung mit einer Diskussion der Wirkungen, die die Meditation hervorrufen kann, und der metaphysischen Prinzipien, auf denen sie basiert. Die Meditationen selbst stammen aus einer tantrischen Tradition, die Osho in unsere Zeit überträgt und dem zeitgenössischen Zuhörer leicht zugänglich macht.

Non è diverso da te: segue la stessa religione, parla la stessa lingua, segue la stessamorale, ha gli stessi valori, crede nella stessa idea di Dio, va a pregare al tuo stesso tempio.

Collana: I classici dell'essere. Il tantra è una scuola di vita, e come tale va avvicinato.
