Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Jun 2004

This inspiring book grants us profound insights into the truly universal nature of Jesus' original teachings. With compassion and humor, Osho-one of our century's leading mystics-presents us with a series of discourses on the Gospel of Thomas.

Each of Jesus' original sayings is the "seed" for a discourse for the modern seeker, encompassing all realms of human experience-philosophy, science, religion, birth, death, love, fear, anger and guilt. Taking Jesus' words out of their narrower Christian context, Osho blends their wisdom with that of other religious traditions.

The Mustard Seed will both inspire and sustain us on our own individual paths of inner transformation.

Review

‘He quotes Jesus, Buddha and old Zen masters with stupendous memory, interpreting them with a freshness and directness as if they were speaking today, as if they wore jeans’.
Die Zeit

About the Author

Osho (1931-1990) is a contemporary mystic whose life and teachings have influenced millions of people of all ages, and from all walks of life. He has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people – along with Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha – who have changed the destiny of India.
He is also known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. His unique "Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life. 11 Jan 2005
By anonymous - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Over the course of a lifetime, only a handful of books truly changes the way one perceives the world. For me, this is one of those books. With wit and deep insight, Osho traverses the border of Western and Eastern thought drawing on the commonalities of both. The book rationalized some of the teachings of Jesus and put them in context-- some his most difficult parables were given clarity. Osho's words are sharp, and cut deep.

Though I bought this book in 2000, I lost it soon after I finished it. Even now I still wrestle with some of his ideas.

I won't go so far and say that this book is for everyone. It is quite long, and the reader must be open to Osho's ideas, which at times can seem black and white. But if you can get by that, the book is extremely deep. And satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jesus the mystic. 9 July 2005
By Swami Antar Urjas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was at Rajneeshpuram (Osho's Oregon commune) when this book was first published and denmand for it was very high (I had to wait several weeks to get a copy). And with good reason, too. This book presents a more believable Jesus, a revolutionary mystic whose mission was to put us in touch with our inner selves, rather than a god-man interested in only gettingpeople to worship him.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mustard Seed: Commentaries on the Fifth Gospel of Saint Thomas 17 Jan 2006
By Connie Washburn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
You have to be open to new ideas to appreciate this book. I absolutely loved it. Very thought provoking, very insightful. Osho tries to shock you into "experiencing" the essence of life. He moves beyond philosophical debate to experience. I will read this book again and again.
