The White Lotus
Bodhidharma, a disciple of Buddha, was the first patriarch of Zen. The notes collected by his disciples from Bodhidharma's
discourses, contain the essential core of Buddha's message. Buddha and Bodhidharma are vastly different in their expression
of truth. Osho sees Buddha as the silence of a breeze, Bodhidharma he likens to a storm. This discourse series alternates the
eminently readable interchanges between Bodhidharma and his disciples, and Osho's response to questions from his own
disciples and other seekers. In the words of one journalist: "Just by reading these discourses there is a risk you may be
pulverized by their inspiration."
