Chinese government knows how to deal with any insurgency. Spiritual masters don't fight with governments. The Dalai Lama has not escaped only to save himself, but to save the Tibetan religion, the meditation secrets and the occult sciences.

Esoteric knowledge is always kept secret from those who are not ready for it. Even new age spiritual teachers give distant hints about enlightenment to us, so that we don't harm ourselves and others.

China's ancient Shaolin Temple, famous for its Kung Fu monks, is big business these days.

Unfortunately, Tibet has fallen into a darkness. Its monasteries have been closed, its seekers of truth have been forced to work in labour camps. The only country in the world which was working - a one-pointed genius, all its intelligence in the search of one's own interior and its treasures has been stopped by the communist invasion of Tibet. Nowhere has such concentrated effort been made to discover man's being. Every family in Tibet used to give their eldest son to some monastery where he was to meditate and grow closer to awakening. It was a joy to every family that at least one of them was wholeheartedly, twenty-four hours a day, working on the inner being. They were also working but they could not give all their time; they had to create food and clothes and shelter, an in Tibet it is a difficult matter. The climate is not very helpful; to live in Tibet is a tremendous trouble. But still every family used to give their first-born child to the monastery. These monasteries were concerned only with one thing - to make you aware of yourself. The destruction of Tibet should be known in history, particularly man becomes a little more aware and humanity a little more humane… This is the greatest calamity of the twentieth century that Tibet has fallen into the hands of materialists who don't believe that you have anything inside you. They believe that you are only matter and your consciousness is only a by-product of matter. And all this is simply without any experience of the inner - just logical, rational philosophising. If humanity were a little more aware, Tibet should be made free because it is the only country which has devoted almost two thousand years to doing nothing but going deeper into meditation. And it can teach the whole world something which is immensely needed.

@jse King Prasenjita gave reputation to Buddha by offering Buddha his own physician. He had just mentioned that, “Whenever you have need, my personal physician will be at your service. Buddha collected reputation points from many kings.

OSHO: My Way Of Life is Not A Philosophy

@Loreena Don't waste your Life Energy in Judging Others! Osho

@ElenaO Lifestyle and home remedies Regardless of the cause of your sore throat, these at-home care strategies can help you ease your symptoms: Rest. And rest your voice. Drink fluids. Fluids keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can dehydrate you. Try comforting foods and beverage. Warm liquids — broth, caffeine-free tea or warm water with honey — and cold treats such as ice pops can soothe a sore throat. Gargle with saltwater. A saltwater gargle of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of table salt to 4 to 8 ounces of warm water can help soothe a sore throat. Gargle the solution and then spit it out. Humidify the air. Use a cool-air humidifier to eliminate dry air that may further irritate a sore throat or sit for several minutes in a steamy bathroom. Consider lozenges or hard candy. Either can soothe a sore throat, but don't give them to children age 4 and younger because of choking risk. Avoid irritants. Keep your home free from cigarette smoke and cleaning products that can irritate the throat. Prevention The best way to prevent sore throats is to avoid the germs that cause them and practice good hygiene. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after using the toilet, before eating, and after sneezing or coughing. Avoid sharing food, drinking glasses or utensils. Cough or sneeze into a tissue and throw it away. When necessary, sneeze into your elbow. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers as an alternative to washing hands when soap and water aren't available. Avoid touching public phones or drinking fountains with your mouth. Regularly clean telephones, TV remotes and computer keyboards with sanitizing cleanser. When you travel, clean phones and remotes in your hotel room. Avoid close contact with people who are sick

When you become more meditative, the bridge between your old partners is broken, becomes shaky. Now your girlfriend or your wife has to grow, otherwise the relationship will be on the rocks, it cannot be maintained. Remember this, that all our relationships, so-called relationships, are adjustments. If one changes, the adjustment is broken—for the better or for the worse, that is not the point. The relationship was an adjustment between two persons as they were. Now one has changed, the other has to grow with them; otherwise there will be trouble, things will become false. Whenever a man becomes more meditative. The more meditative he is, the more he wants to be alone. The wife, the beloved, will be disturbed by it. If she is not understanding then she will start creating trouble—this man wants to be more alone. If she is understanding, then there is no problem; but that understanding can only come to her if her love grows. If she feels more loving, then she can allow this friend to be lonely, alone, and she will protect his loneliness. She will try to see that it is not disturbed—this will be her love now….

OSHO: I Am a Spiritual Playboy

Then start loving Osho, he was a naughty Guru !

Not bad but different, Buddha was very disciplined.

Osho was naughty and extrovert, my life is more like Gautama Buddha.

What do you expect from a meditator? He should sit silently forever, live like a statue ?

What I did ? Where ? You think too much ! May god give you peace !

Only when a society becomes affluent does spirituality become meaningful. To be spiritual, or to be interested in the ultimate questions of life, one needs to have fulfilled all lower wants and needs. For example, in Buddha’s time, India was like America is today. In those days, India was the richest land. The spirituality that we have in India today is just a leftover from those days.

Do you mean no successful and sane person will spend time on this forum ?

I love you too just like I love Osho, but how this forum is a wrong place ?

Is it love ?

Why do you hate this forum so much ?

If understanding means you are trying intellectually – through logic, reason, concepts – and that’s the sure way to miss realization. The intellect is utilitarian. It helps while you are moving outside of your being. It is helpful as a guide in the world of the without. The moment you turn inwards it becomes useless; it is no more a guide. Then it misguides. There is a limit to the intellect... and realization can be felt only, not understood. Intellect is superficial – so if you are trying to understand realization, you will go on missing. The first thing to be understood is that understanding is not the right direction. I am saying that if you want, you can experience realization but you cannot understand. But the mind is cunning; it goes on thinking about realization. Thinking is a very secure situation. You never go out of yourself. You go on playing with words. Understanding transforms, but understanding comes from living life consciously. Logic can't help you, you are there to interpret it, interpretation will always be yours. A Buddha, one who is enlightened, helps you to grow. If he talks, he talks only to help you to drop all talking. If he uses words, he uses them only to help you to become wordless. If he talks, he talks only to indicate towards silence. So always remember, when a Buddha says anything, the container is not important at all, but the content. The word is the container and the meaning is the content. But that meaning can come to you only when you grow. Unless you taste something of buddhahood, you will not understand. So it is not a question of knowledge; it is a question of understanding. Knowledge you can go on gathering; you need not grow. You can go on stuffing yourself with knowledge and deep down inside you will remain the same – no growth happens, no transformation happens. If you understand, then meditation is not something to be done; it is a consequence of understanding. But if you don’t understand, then meditation has to be done, because only through meditation, by and by you will be cleansed and understanding will become possible. Understanding never comes through logic, through logic you will gather more and more information but your capacity to understand will remain same. Either you understand – then meditation follows; or you don’t understand – then you have to meditate and understanding follows. They are interdependent. But don’t deceive yourself, because deception is very easy. You can think, ’Yes, I understand.’ You can think that you understand, because it is very ego-enhancing to think that you understand – and so what need is there to meditate? But if understanding really happens, then all problems disappear immediately. If problems still linger on, then you must have deceived. If anger continues to be there, if hatred continues to be there, if jealousy continues to be there, if fear continues to be there, then you have deceived yourself. Then please, start meditating. Then much cleansing has to be done. Understanding is – a clear mirror of consciousness. Meditation is just cleaning the mirror. Understanding is the clean mirror, the cleaned mirror.

Infrastructure is there but civilization is lost, mainstream society is trying to imitate west, obsession with money is at the levels of insanity. Retreat from materialistic life is an escapism instead of a spiritual growth in most of the cases.

Read this thread

Meditation happens by doing nothing.

They are jealous of prosperity and civilization of west. I find western people less materialistic than an average Indian.
