¿Qué ocurre cuando morimos? ¿Es la reencarnación un hecho real? ¿De qué modo nos condicionan nuestras vidas anteriores? ¿Cómo y por qué elegimos volver a nacer? Estas son algunas de las preguntas y temas abordados en un retiro de meditación en la India conducido por Osho. El tema es la muerte y cómo el miedo a la misma condiciona nuestras vidas. El lector de este libro asiste desde el inicio, y en primera fila, al apasionante debate en el que OSHO nos lleva a enfrentarnos con nuestras creencias y actitudes ante la muerte y el morir, y que revisándolas concluyamos que reflejan nuestros miedos más profundos. A continuación nos ofrece la alternativa sanadora: el modo de acceder, a través de la meditación, a una vivencia personal directa de nuestra propia inmortalidad. Al mismo tiempo responde a las preguntas que se le formulan, proponiendo como antídoto al miedo la opción de afrontar la muerte conscientemente y con espíritu de aventura.

About the author
Osho
4,285 books6,791 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

I don't have wisdom to rate Osho's literature. His books are just experience. Ignites the rebellion in you. He is beyond words

It's the first book which made me realise what my true passion is - spirituality. It absorbed me from the first pages (it's actually a written interview), and i devoured imediately. It was the trigger for me. After 5 years of digging deeper in this domain, this book (as well as The power of now) doesn't seems so special - these ideas are found in many places, at many other philosophers. Also Osho turned out to be a scam (he was preaching spirituality but he had a collection of 17 Rolls Royce and people defending him with Ak-57). Nevertheless, most of the ideas presented in this book are good so I recommend it :)

This book has opened many doors to me which I was not aware of. I felt the same joy, not of quantity but of quality, arising in me like the days when I was reading Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's "Sources of life". Moreover this book is just the same in size with that book. I would like to recommend this book to Tsenguun :). Yes, for you :) May this book be as fruitful as it was to me.
