Meeting Life’s Difficulties.”No belief is required to travel with Buddha. You can come to him with all your skepticism—he accepts and welcomes you, and he says, ‘Come with me.'” Osho
- The Dhammapada, the Way of the Buddha, This is the Path to the Ultimate Truth
Osho’s Commentaries on the Sutra’s from the 12 volumes of the Dhammapada set the Wheel of Dharma in motion again

* Finding Your Own Way
Using Buddha′s wisdom as a springboard, Osho brings to life words that have the power to change the way we see the world, change the way we see religion, and above all, change the way we are.
* Moving into the Unknown
” Ecstasy is such a great ‘Aha!’ that you are completely dissolved into it. It becomes your very song, your celebration, your dance. Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved. Life is a mystery to be lost in, not a problem to be handled.” Osho
* Learning Happiness
Buddha brought to the world his penetrating insight into the essential nature of happiness. It already exists in the present moment—all that has to be learned is the knack of living in the present.
* Dancing in the Breeze
Buddha brought a revolution into the world of religion, the greatest ever. The revolution was that he emphasized consciousness and not conscience. He emphasized awareness and not character. Of course, character comes automatically, but it comes like a shadow
- The Heart Sutra
Difference between the Buddha-hood of the Child and the Awakened Childlikeness of a Buddha
“There is a similarity and there is a difference. Essentially the child is a Buddha, but his buddhahood, his innocence, is natural, not earned. His innocence is a kind of ignorance, not a realization. His innocence is unconscious – he is not aware of it, he is not mindful of it, he has not taken any note of it. It is there but he is oblivious. He is going to lose it. He has to lose it. Paradise will be lost sooner or later; he is on the way towards it. Every child has to go through all kinds of corruption, impurity – the world.”
- Take it Easy, about Zen Buddhism
“Lao Tzu says: To find truth, one need not go out of his room. One need not even open the door, one need not even open his eyes – because truth is your being. To know it is buddha-hood.”
“Remember it: the statements of Zen masters are not statements in the ordinary use of the word. They are not to convey something that you don’t know. They are to shock you, provoke you, into a new quality of consciousness.” Osho
