Satsang 2011 06 13 OSHO on Awakening, Mantra, Love and Compassion

Welcome!  Please enjoy this 56-minute satsang with talks by OSHO

Gayatri Mantra V2 3:31
Ravi Shankar and George Harrison

OSHO: Waking Up the World 13:50
Excerpts from an Interview with Roberta Green, Santa Ana Register. Orange County, CA


OSHO: Silence Over Tibet - the Music of OM 9:56
Osho speaks on the Tibetan mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum."

INTERLUDE:
Magical Healing Mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum 9:29
The mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (literally: "Aum, to the Jewel in the Lotus, hum) is recited by Tibetan Buddhists to invoke Chenrezi, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Repeating this mantra accumulates merit and eases negative karma; meditating upon it is believed to purify the mind and body.

OSHO: Love and Hate Are One 5:48
What happened to love? Everybody is looking for love, but the world is full of hate. With love something very drastic has happened. This OSHO TALK goes deep into the psychological understanding of how our authenticity about love was spoiled. - "Never judge anybody by his act, because the real thing is not the act but the consciousness through which that act has been performed."

OSHO: Compassion - The Ultimate Flowering of Love 10:16
Osho examines the nature of compassion from a radically different perspective. He points out that "passion" lies at the root of the word, and then proceeds to challenge assumptions about what compassion really is. He shows how the path to authentic compassion arises from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself. Only then, says Osho, does compassion flower into a healing force, rooted in the unconditional acceptance of the other as he or she is.
Excerpt from an original, 104-minute talk by Osho now available on DVD with the book COMPASSION -- St. Martin's Griffin (February 2007)
