Based on the Seven Points of Mind Training by the 11th-century Buddhist mystic Atisha, The Book of Wisdom removes the dust of tradition that has gathered around meditation, conveying the essential science and methodology of the practice with a freshness and spontaneity that is rarely found in contemporary spiritual works. The book is a guide for inner discipline and transformation that is also highly accessible, incorporating light, often humorous question-and-answer sessions between Osho and his audience that help listeners make the practical connection between spiritual theory and meditation as a lifestyle.
In 28 talks alternating between commentaries on Atisha and responding to questions, Osho takes us into a world of wisdom.
