Now all in one volume for the first time!
Osho's contemporary interpretation of the secret teachings of the 4000-year-old Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is now collected all in one impressive volume.
Osho goes line by line through each of the mysterious teachings that were first made known in the West by Paul Reps in the last chapter of his book, Zen Flesh, Zen Bones. In the process, we learn that these verses are, in fact, highly condensed, telegraphic instructions for 112 different meditation techniques.
notes
The original series of 80 discourses were simply called Vigyan Bhairav Tantra.
For publication as books they were divided up into 5 volumes, called the The Book of the Secrets, Volume 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 (16 discourses each).
Subsequently (1991) published as Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, First Series and Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, Second Series (40 discourses each). Both volumes were also available as a boxed set, Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, which included a deck of 112 cards to represent the various meditations.
