- Osho calls the incomparable Dhammapada sutras of Buddha, "the book of books." He explains that these sutras are concerned with every aspect of man's unawareness, and that Buddha's whole message is devoted to the raising of our consciousness. To enter into the Dhammapada with Osho is to witness a deep friendship of enlightened masters. These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. Osho's commentaries on these sutras set the Wheel of Dharma in motion again. Osho also answers questions from disciples and other seekers in alternate discourses all generously sprinkled with stories, personal anecdotes and, of course, a multitude of jokes.
- This series includes 126 discourses given from Jun 21, 1979 to Apr 30, 1980.
- The Dhammapada was published in English as a boxed set of 12 volumes, or, as they call themselves, "series". All but the first four of these volumes were published for the first time in this set. Those four had been previously published individually as The Book of the Books, Vol 1 , 2 , 3 and 4. See The Dhammapada for more details. The table below shows the original English books and their corresponding Russian translations.
