Absolute Tao: Subtle is the way to love, happiness and truth (TAO - The Three Treasures) Paperback – April 10, 2012

4.8 out of 5 stars 78 ratings

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.

Latest News : OSHO TIMES http://www.oshotimes.com

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.

Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today.

His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

    Got to love Osho, out of all the religions he teaches . This is the one he seemed the most attracted too. Yet he bring across the meaning that life should be lived. For we each are the Tao experiencing it as self. Each up and down in life should be enjoyed, for we are the magnanimous energy .That is the unhidden gift we are unaware of we are Source or TAO.

    Despite having read a considerable amount of Osho, this book took me to yet another level of transcendental delight and helped me overcome so many places in which I was stuck in my personal and professional growth, Since buying this book, I have recommended it so strongly to my friends that I know at least four of them bought it and have enjoyed it immensely.

    Osho's clarity comes thru in this in depth talk about TAO. The truth that he came to know, manifests in his words. And while his words are not the thing itself, his words can prepare the soil of our inner selves to come to that point of transcendence. Namaste.

    Osho perfectly explains one of the most profound sages of all time. Like his book 'Tsing tsing ming, the book of nothing',where Osho interprets the third patriarch of Zen, he takes you to the heart of the teachings.

    Definitely one of the better Osho books. Really insightful and deep. I also recommend hidden mysteries and his commentaries on Pythagoras' golden verses.

    Lao Tzu in itself is a very, very loveable person. Very true, straight to the point and wise. Osho is the same thing with added ability to talk A LOT. I forgot how many books of Osho I already read, but this one is the one that I would recommend to any person who approach me asking anything related to enlightenment, Osho, Taoism or self-discovery.
