Always Rely on Just a Happy Frame of Mind
1 user commentary Read

 
If you are unhappy, that simply means that you have learned tricks for being unhappy, and nothing else.

The world is absolutely neutral. It has thorns, it has roses, it has nights, it has days... Now it depends on you as to what to choose. If you have decided to choose only the wrong, you will live in a wrong kind of world, because you will live in your own chosen world. That's how people create hell and heaven on the same earth. It looks very unbelievable that Buddha lived on earth with the same kind of people, and lived in paradise. And you also live on the same earth with the same kind of people, and you live in hell.
...
Once you have learned this happy frame of mind, this positive vision of life, you will be surprised that the whole existence starts functioning in a totally different way. It starts mothering you. It starts helping you in every possible way, it becomes a great friend... And to know this is to know God...

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.
