This glossary is an alphabetic list of concepts used in the Wiki, with definitions.
am om pm xm
Abbreviations for an approximate time of day:
- am = ante meridiem: before noon
- pm = post meridiem: after noon
The discourses of Osho often happened in the morning, starting about 8am (here called am), and in the early evening, starting at 7pm or 8pm (pm).
This pattern held for more than 98% of his discourses. For the events at other times, the makers of the CD-ROM invented two more approximate times:
- om = some time later in the morning or in the afternoon
- xm = later at night
These codes are in use in the timecode.
See also: archivecode.
archivecode
A code, used in the CD-ROM to give the date and approximate time of Osho's discourses, and thereby also uniquely identify that discourse.
- e.g. I Am the Gate, lecture 1 is 7104140, i.e. 1971 April 14 morning,
- The Zen Manifesto: Freedom from Oneself, lecture 11 is 8904105, i.e. 1989 April 10 evening
- The last digit represents the time of day, where morning = 0 ("am") and evening = 5 ("pm").
- More rarely used are these last digits:
- 3 : later in the morning or afternoon ("om")
- 7 : later at night (also designated by ("xm")
Although the archivecode was intended to be used as a key value to identify all discourses, this does not work where date and time of events are unknown. That was already apparent on the CD-ROM, and is even more problematic when one tries to identify the Hindi discourses. For purposes of unique identification the ShortTitle / eventcode is better suited.

eventcode
A short code, like SADHANA01 and ZENMAN01, to uniquely identify all events where Osho was present: discourses, darshans, interviews, satsangs, and also letters that are known to be published.
Similar codes were introduced on the CD-ROM, which uses a "MiniTitle" to identify all English books (and some translations from Hindi), and a "ShortTitle" to identify all their chapters.
The eventcode in this Wiki is an adapted version of that ShortTitle, to designate all events, including Hindi-spoken discourses. It is the intention to not change these eventcodes, so they can be used as a database-key.
For readability, we also use an "eventname" in this Wiki, like in the page name of the events: "The Zen Manifesto ~ 01". This is derived from the original book-title, or an abbreviated version thereof. Eventnames may change if it is found that the first edition book name should be changed.
timecode
A code to represent the date and time of events (like discourses, interviews, satsangs etc.), in so far as known.
Like the archivecode, it consist of a date (YY.MM.DD) followed by a time designation. Where data is unknown, it is left as a "-" hyphen. Some examples:
| timecode | meaning |
|---|---|
| 69.11.02 | 1969, Nov 2, time of day unknown (There can be more of these, when the order is not known) |
| 69.11.02.am | 1969, Nov 2, morning (There can be more of these, when the order is not known) |
| 69.11.02.am.(1) | same, first event of that morning |
| 69.11.02.am.(2) | same, second event of that morning |
| 69.11.02.(1) | 1969, Nov 2, time of day unknown, first event of that day |
| 69.11.02.pm.19:00 | 1969, Nov 2, at 19:00h (7 pm) |
| 69.11.-- | Some time in Nov, 1969 (There can be more of these, when the order is not known) |
| 69.--.-- | Some time in 1969 |
| 69.--.--.am | Some time in 1969, in the morning |
| *60 ~ 69 | Some time in the sixties (* designates uncertainty over the year) |
| *69 ~ 73 | Earliest in 1969, latest in 1973 |
