Synopsis

Discovered in northern Egypt in 1945, the Gospel of Thomas is believed to be the earliest record of the teachings of Jesus. Here the celebrated Indian mystic Osho (1931-1990) takes each of Jesus's sayings as the 'seed' of a discourse encompassing all realms of human experience, blending their wisdom with those of other faiths to provide spiritual guidance for the modern world.

About this title

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’.
