Book Description

Absolute Tao: Subtle is the way to love, happiness and truth

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.

Osho : Chandra Mohan Jain

Chandra Mohan Jain (December 11, 1931 - January 19, 1990), also known as Acharya Rajneesh from 1960 onwards, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh between 1970 and 1980, and Osho since 1989. He was an Indian mystic, guru and spiritual teacher followers from all over the world. A professor of philosophy, he traveled all over India during the 1960s as a public speaker. His outspoken criticism of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi and organized religions stirred controversy around him. He advocated a more open attitude towards sexual relations, which earned him the nickname "sex guru" in the Indian and later world press. In 1970 Rajneesh settled for a time in Bombay where he became a spiritual teacher among his disciples known as the Neo-Sunnis. In Talks he reinterpreted the writings of religious traditions, mystics and philosophers from around the world. He moved to Pune in 1974 where he established an ashram (silo) that attracted increasing numbers of Westerners. In mid-1981 Rajneesh moved to the United States, where his followers established an intentional community (later known as Rajneeshpuram) in Oregon. He was arrested and charged with violating immigration laws. Rajneesh was deported from the US under a plea bargain. Twenty-one countries banned him from entering their territories, and he finally returned to Pune, where he died in 1990. The Rajneesh Ashram in Pune is today known as the Osho International Meditation Producer. His interfaith teaching emphasizes the importance of contemplation, awareness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humour: qualities that were seen as suppressed and repressed by adherence to fixed belief systems, religious traditions and socialization. Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable influence on Western spirituality, as well as New Age thought, and have increased in popularity since his death.
