The Book of Secrets

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.
