My Book on Tai Chi Imagery
Evil is not against you, you just don't know how to use it. Poison is not your enemy, you just don't know how to make medicine out of it...It all depends on you, on your artfulness.

...

Jesus says again and again "You have been told that if some one throws a brick at you, throw a stone or a rock at him. But I say unto you, if somebody hits you on one cheek, give him the other also." This is alien, strange, to Jewish thinking. But this is not alien to Buddhist thinking, this is pure Buddhism. Do not resist evil: that is the first thing if you want to absorb evil in your heart and transform it. If you resist it, how can you transform it? Accept it.

Light can exist only if darkness exists. Then why hate darkness? ...Life cannot exist without death. Then why hate death? The saint is possible only because of the sinner...One accepts both as part and parcel of life. In that acceptance you can transform things. Only through that transformation is acceptance possible.

You are just a mirror; it has nothing to do with you. Happiness comes and goes, unhappiness comes and goes, it is a passing show: you are just there, a mirror reflecting it.

As well as much more extensive commentaries on the proverbs than are quoted in the main Mind Training site, this also contains answers to many key questions on the teachings asked by Osho's disciples.
This is a commentary on a set of 112 wonderful tantric meditation techniques supposedly given by Shiva to his consort, Parvati, first translated in Paul Reps' pioneering 'Zen Flesh, Zen Bones'. It was formerly published as 5 volumes, and is very good value at this price.
New insights on the teachings and life of Jesus.
Probably the most perceptive and impartial account of the life and teachings of Osho (formerly Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), by a psychologist with NIMH who spent a good deal of time around him both in Poona and in Oregon, and who got close enough to understand Osho's appeal without being so close that projections (positive or negative) overwhelm the book.
