More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
Compassion is a word that has been used to describe a range of human behaviours and attitudes, from sympathy and forgiveness to mercy and charity. In this tenth volume, Osho examines the nature of compassion from a radically different perspective. He points out that "passion" lies at the root of the word, and then proceeds to challenge assumptions about what compassion really is. Many so-called acts of compassion, he says, are tainted by a subtle sense of self-importance and desire for recognition. Others are based in the desire not really to help others, but to force them to change. Using stories from the life of Jesus, Buddha, and the world of Zen, Osho shows how the path to authentic compassion arises only from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself.

Compassion encapsulates all that is wonderful about Osho; his humour, his irreverence and his wisdom. This was the first Osho book I read, it is a real gem, I highly recommend it.

Blunt, to the point, yet effective
14 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
To not only learn what compassion truly means, but to become one with it is no small order. Osho takes you down this path effortlessly and enjoyably. His blunt, candid delivery may make your toes curl at times.
However, you will most certainly appreciate his openness and attention to details. If you've ever wondered how to cultivate limitless compassion for all beings then this book is certainly for you. If you've also been unsure what compassion really means, this book will dispel any myths in that regard.
Just remember that Osho is not for the faint of heart.

Bodhi's Review of Compassion by Osho
12 May 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Zen monks have a tea ritual whereas one is totally immersed in the moment sipping tea with full awareness, sipping a little bit at a time, enjoying the flavor, enjoying the aroma. I recommend that you treat this book as such, reading a few pages at a time so you can absorb the insights a little bit at a time, giving yourself time to truly appreciate what Osho has to say. I read a few pages in the early morning when my mind is still fresh, clear and when I can still appreciate this gift.
