	The Art of Dying
	Talks on Hasidism
	In five of the ten discourses in this book, Osho speaks on classic Hasidic stories compiled by the Jewish philosopher, Martin Buber – a great tradition of laughing saints and wonderful stories. On five alternate days he answers questions put by his disciples.
	Death and life are two polarities of the same energy, of the same phenomenon – the tide and ebb, the day and the night, the summer and the winter. They are not separate and not opposites, not contraries; they are complementaries.
	Death is not the end of life; in fact, it is a completion of one life, the crescendo of one life, the climax, the finale. And once you know your life and its process, then you understand what death is. – Osho
	“In a language simple yet profound the Master Osho indicates the art of “dying” by learning how to live in the here and now, the eternal life.” – Livres Hebdo, France

The Gates of Death

This discourse, based on Bodhidharma's teaching, goes into the nature of our attachment to appearances and the fear and clinging it creates. This is a very strong and insightful discourse. “Everybody is going to pass through the gates someday. If you can remember that you are only pure consciousness – not the body, not the mind, not the heart, not your money, not your prestige, not your power, not your house, but pure consciousness – then you can pass through the barrier of death unscratched... Death has power over you only if you are attached. Freedom from attachment makes you capable of entering into the universal light and becoming one with it, and that is the greatest blessing, the ultimate ecstasy beyond which nothing exists. You have come home.”

The Deepest Layers of Life

In this multidimensional talk Osho uses beautiful parables to illustrate the “isness” of life and death. He addresses feelings we carry around, the need to protect ourselves, and the desire we have for security. “This life – what we understand as life – is in the hands of death, there is no way of protection...find yourself in a deeper layer of life, deeper than this death. Except through meditation, nobody has come to know eternity.”

Between Two Dreams

“Bardo is the greatest contribution Tibet has made to the world.” Osho talks on the Tibetan Bardo in three steps: leaving the body, the space between bodies, and entering a new womb. “And while you are being shifted from one dream to another...the gap is of tremendous importance because in that gap there is no dream, there is simple clarity, absolute clarity, awareness.”

Death: The Greatest Fiction

“Death is a door.” Osho explains that death is not the enemy of life; it is just a part of it. And it has to be accepted as much as life itself. We will die the same way as we have lived our life.
