The Book of Wisdom

Based on the ‘Seven Points of Mind Training’, by the 11th century Buddhist mystic Atisha, The Book of Wisdom conveys the essential science and methodology of meditation with a freshness and spontaneity that is rarely found in contemporary spiritual works. Osho removes the dust of tradition which has gathered around meditation. The book is a guide for inner discipline and transformation and some light and often humorous question and answer sessions between the audience and Osho make the practical connection from the spiritual theory to meditation as a lifestyle.
