The Heart Sutra ─ Becoming a Buddha Through Meditation

The Heart Sutra, originally a very short set of verses, was given in privacy. It was a message to one of Buddha’s close disciples, Sariputra, and was specifically addressed to him. It is more like a letter, and over time it became one of Buddhism's core teachings, "Buddhism in a nutshell." In these ten talks Osho not only presents the powerful message of these ancient words but also brings them to a modern audience, one with different minds and different needs than the original audiences of Buddha more than 2500 years ago. Osho’s message is not about Buddha the historical figure: instead, he addresses his readers and listeners and encourages them to discover their own inner reality, their own buddhahood. Like Buddha’s, Osho’s message is about meditation and meditation alone??rely only on your meditation and nothing else.”
Osho here 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.

?Buddha’s message is the greatest that has ever been delivered to man. And this sutra is one of the greatest expressions of Buddha. He has talked for forty-two years, and he has said many things, but nothing compared to this. This is unique.” ?Osho
