MEDITATION: THE FISRST AND LAST FREEDOM

This handbook is a practical, step-by-step instruction for a variety of meditations created or selected by Osho. It includes the unique Osho Active Meditations, specifically designed to deal within the tensions and stress of contemporary life.

          In the Discipline of Transcendence, Osho says. "In Buddha's time, dynamic methods of meditation were not needed. People were more relaxed and their lives were simpler. Now life moves at a much faster pace, which creates much more stress and tension. Just sitting directly in silence is not so easy."

       In Meditation: The First and Last Freedom you will find explanations on what meditation is – and what isn't. There are also suggestions on how to prepare for meditation, and what kinds of obstacles to expect along the way. The variety of mediations  offered invite you to experiment to find what works best to support going deeper into your own being. You will also find tips for choosing the techniques that are most appropriate for your own personal lifestyle.

       Mediation is a science, not a superstition. Meditation says you experiment with – it is too full of thoughts; thoughts can be dispersed, the clouds can be dispersed, the clouds can be dispersed, and you can attain to an empty sky of your inner being. And it need s no trust – just a little courage, a little effort, a little daring, a little persistence and perseverance. A little patience, yes, but no trust. You don’t believe in god? That is not a hindrance to meditation. You don't believe in the soul? That is not a hindrance. You don’t believe at all? That is not an obstacle. You can meditate, because meditation simply says how to go with inward.

       We don’t make any condition that you have to believe. We say only that you have to experiment. Just try. Then it is not something like a dogma; it is not a creed, it is an experience  - self-evident.
