Nella tradizione orientale la religione ha un marcato carattere di praticità che in Occidente non si èmai sviluppato in modo organico. In particolare, i percorsi sviluppatisi a partire dal Buddha sibasano sulla comprensione che tutti siamo alla ricerca – della felicità, di un significato, della quietementale... e quant'altro implica riconnettersi con il proprio essere – e quella ricerca è dovuta a unanon conoscenza di se stessi, a un mancato sviluppo di una qualità che ogni essere umano possiede,in forma di seme: la consapevolezza.

Prosegue il processo di “addestramento della mente” – e del cuore – delineato da Atisha, a partiredal consiglio di attivare una modalità di visione di se stessi, libera dalle proiezioni e dal giudizioaltri. Nel contesto di ricerca qui delineata, il coraggio di vedere fino a che punto si partecipa aicomuni giochi del mondo nasce dalla pratica dei “preliminari” descritti nelLibro della saggezza–la prima parte del percorso evolutivo tratteggiato da Atisha un millennio fa, e decodificato da Oshoad uso dell’uomo contemporaneo.

Con forza e determinazione dirompente, Osho smantella la miriade di problemi generati dalla menteumana e illumina una strada di profondo rilassamento in cui il potenziale presente in ognuno di noi puòraggiungere la suprema fioritura: uno stato dell’essere conosciuto in Oriente come Nirvana. «Nirvana è vivere la vita ordinaria in modo così attento, così colmo di consapevolezza, così pieno di luce, che tutto diventa luminoso. È possibile. Lo dico perché l’ho vissuto in questo modo, lo stovivendo così. Quando lo dico, parlo per esperienza.

“Finora l’essere umano ha vissuto in modo schizofrenico, e non è difficile capirne il motivo. Persecoli gli è stato detto che il mondo è formato da due dimensioni: la materia e lo spirito. Questo è assurdo. Il mondo consiste di una sola verità. Naturalmente presenta due sembianze, ma queste sonoindivisibili: all’esterno si presenta come materia e all’interno come spirito.Questa divisione è penetrata nella mente umana in mille modi. È diventata divisione tra il corpo el’anima, tra l’inferiore e il superiore, tra il peccato e la virtù, tra l’Oriente e l’Occidente.

Descrivendo il suo approccio allaVia del Tao, Osho ha detto: «Io insegno semplicemente a esserequi, e lasciare che la beatitudine dell’esistenza si riversi in te. Perché dovresti andare altrove? E, inogni caso, dove andresti? Puoi prendere un treno, un autobus, un aeroplano e spostarti dove vuoi... addirittura un razzo può portarti sulla luna! E tra qualche anno potresti anche andare su Marte; tra qualche decennio potresti raggiungere una qualsiasi stella. Ma tutto questo è stupidità. Cosa farai, impettito in piedi sulla luna?

Reviving the Balance: The Authority of the Qur’an and the Status of the Sunnah studies the position of the Sunnah in Islam and its fundamental relationship to the Qur’an.. Taking the praiseworthy intention and effort to emulate the Prophet into account, the author nevertheless makes the case that once the Sunnah had been collected, the Muslim community began to neglect the Qur’an in favor of narrations of what the Prophet had done and said on the pretext that such narratives “contained” the Qur’an.

Each of us has a story and has experienced hurt in some area of our lives. Whether in childhood, adolescence or adulthood, we all have experienced pain and disappointment. If not dealt with, these wounds begin to impact our everyday life at a crippling rate. We live bound by fear, insecurities, anger and jealousy; often chalking it up as “normal.” Yet, in reality, we are being held captive by what others have done to us. We desire freedom from our pasts and our pain yet struggle with how to attain it; we wonder if it is even possible.
