Osho's Meditation Camp

Osho's Meditation Camp in Bodhgaya

Osho is like the vast Himalayan ranges. Through Osho one by one the consciousness of all enlighten masters flow to the earth as the boon showering their blessings to all of us, all human beings . Their techniques and teachings are revived through him once again.

How many lives it may take us to understand , it is the compassion of the existence as the supreme master, is in a effort to transmit to us the teachings and understandings .. ..the Truth through different path of different Enlighten one
We are in Bodhgaya , the sacred place of Enlightenment of Siddhartha Gautama. Here we are participating in Osho meditation camp,experimenting Vipassana meditation technique and listening to the lectures of Osho on Gautama the Buddha and Bodhi tree of Bodhgaya .

Seven days in meditation in The Mahabodhi Temple in Bodhgaya, and listening to Osho about Gautama Buddha is a great experience. Osho again brought Buddha to our spiritual life. The story was told that after many years of intensive struggle for enlightenment Siddhartha Gautam came to Uruvela, the garden spot where the Mahabodhi Temple has been built. He relaxed in meditation beneath the Bodhi tree and attained enlightenment. The Truth that he had searched for many years and many lives revealed to him. After his enlightenment he stayed there for seven days in his ultimate inner rest.

An sapling ,an offspring of the original Bodhi tree was taken and grew up in Sri Lank .This was put back in the the original spot when the original tree died away in India. The place is decorated with offering of incense, lighted lamps which are offered to the Buddha with devotion and gratitude by pilgrims from all over the world .All pilgrims from east to west have been for years visiting this sacred place of pilgrimage, the Bodhi tree where Buddha attained Enlightenment .This place is a boon for all of us going in the inner spiritual pilgrimage. King Ashoka (c.265-238 B.C.E.) 250 years later built a monument and a fence around the Bodhi tree, under which Buddha sat.

It is Budhda who came to us through Osho to revive his teaching and Vipassana meditation techniques. Through Osho ,Buddha is giving Dhammapad to us again. Osho says when we are in Buddha field, our energy , our vibration changes because of such a powerful source. The presence of the Buddha whose energy has become formless, whose energy has returned back to the source, who is centered at his source , the very presence,helps us to come back to our very source along with the powerful presence of the Buddha. The earth has many sacred spots where the purity of the presence of the Buddha , purifies us ,as we take a dip in their energy fields. The spot where Buddha attained enlightenment is like the oasis of prayerful vibration in the burning hot desert of world of ego and ignorance .

It is the most important pilgrimage centre as a Buddha as waken one , a enlighten one is born spiritually here. The Buddha attained enlightenment in Bodgaya, under Bodhi tree. Like the inner presence of energy the grandeur of the creation of Mahabodhi temple is the master piece of human creativity. The most wonderful architectural design with appropriate proportion and the craving on the stone monument must have created with trenedous dedication. Its main spire towers 180 feet high with a statue of Golden Buddha inside it. From far and wide , the pilgrims come and with such devotion bow down to Buddha , offering their silence , their words of prayers to Buddha, and the Bodhi tree.

We are overhelmed the chanting of Tibetan llama , of bikkus , the sound of prayer and worship , vibrating in different languages of the world.....yet merging into one oceanic vibration. Seven hundred years ago as said by Osho and remembered by many of his disciples, that Osho was the tebetan llama,spiritual. Master and the his physical body is still preserved in one of the caves in Tibet. I was reading his book sitting in the monestry .....book of his heart where after every conversation he was repeating ...Om Mani Pame Hum! Om mani Pame Hum! I love this mantra from the core of my heart ... That is why perhaps we feel so familiar and tuned up to the chanting of Tibetan prayers and mantras.

The seventh chakra ,the sahastarth, is the home of Buddha. Being in the presence of Buddha and his energy field we become enlightened . when we come out the energy field .. to the pool of ego ,and lower consciousness we are again unenlightened. The whole world ,the universe is just vibrations, in the Buddha field we tune up with the higher vibration, the vibration of Buddha .

. Osho says that the conciousness transformed into Budhahood. Osho tells the story when he was an elephant , to save and protect the life rabbit he gave his life when the forest caught fire. And since then in each life his compassion and sacrifice transformed his conciousness to rise to the ultimate peak of Budhahood as the incarnation of Compassion .Osho tells us about the infinite compassion and the empathy with the suffering of others being of Buddha ..

Osho tells of the story of Gautama Buddha how in his his past life when he was the elephant how he burnt himself to save the life of the rabbit when there was the fire in the forest .Now a days when in the name name of religion burning each other mentally physically, and there was Buddha whoes life was to take away the suffering and pain of others . buddha conciousness , that which when Osho speaks we are choked sometimes with tears tha out of compassion a buddha lives . And in his name , name of Osho or buddha ... how many delicate flowers of conciousness is crushes and steped on in the name of his creativity. where is compassion ?
The Spiritual Pilgrimage to Bodgaya is again Osho who is taking us to the inner and outer pilgrimage to Gautama Buddha. Osho has high regards and loves Gautum Buddha. He has explained to us Dhammapad.
The Bodhi tree was charged with sacrad spiritual presence of Buddha meditating for seven days beneath the Bodhio tree was of great help and blessing in meditation . From all over the world pilgrims come and the place is chagred with their prayers and chanting of mantras . It immensely stunnes me how meditation happens spontaneously in the sacred places of pilgrimage . Millions and millions from centuries have been praying , meditating and we rotate back to our inner home along with the prayers of millions.

The outer sacred place of enlighten ones , help to reunite us to our innermost or our higher consciousness. We participated in the Osho meditation camps, in Lumbini in Nepal , the birthplace of Buddha , the place of his Enlightenment ,Bodgaya , in Sarnath , vanaras were he first gave his sermones and in Kushinagar..the palce of Mahaparinirwan .

If we have dew drops of compassion that Gautama Buddha has , this earth ,this world would not have been conflicts, wars , and cruelity in the name of religion, enlighten masters and even in the name of Osho. It is irrelevant whether all of us in deep spiritual sleep gives respect or condems us .What is relevant is do we have few rays of compassion in the spiritual satsang of Gautum Buddha, the incarnation of compassion?
I love to listen Oshoarun in the buddhaha field only ,the wonderful stories perhaps Buddha reminds him , he was is telling us sitting under the Bodhi tree that in one of the past live Buddha was the king in Nepal . This place is known as Namo Buddha.His compassion and the emphathy of others suffering was infinite. One day as he traveled in the forest the scene of the loinness and cubes suffering in hunger and in starvation , awoke deep compassion in his heart that he cut his own flesh to feet the lioness and her babies. The infinite compassion that is in a Buddha.

We began our spiritual pilgrimage and participated in meditation camps of Osho , in Kutchwada the place of his birth , to The Mashree tree in Jabal pur where he attained enlghtenment, to Poonacommune where he stayed for years and the place of his physical departure...Mahaparinirwan.

After along pilgrimage to sacred places of Krishna and participation in devotional camps in his birthplace Mathura , in his Vindravan and Dwarika my spiritual pilgrimage changed the direction to all the sacred places places but always with meera in my Heart .she is the wonder of all wonders.She is united to Krishna conciousness .. through Krishna to all enlighten ones to the cosmos .This ultimate union is the real marriage the eternal union with existence .Unless the ultimate love with the awaken one and the ultimate eternal marriage , contentented is impossible.Here everything is momentary and impermanent .We long eternal love and eternal relation , eteranl and how will it is possible with eternal lover like Krishna .

Under the Bodhitree, Oshoarun was in deep rest and at home.In the Buddha field and in deep meditation existence speaks and writes .These are only worthwhile moments . In the rare moments of the egoless state of conciousness , what is spoken and written are existencial truth.There are the rare moments that all of a sudden the higher conciousness takes over and the speaker and the writter watch and listen as a outsider to what is spoken and written.We all desciples have not become awakened Brahma or one with brahma that our words should he bhrahma wakya..words of brahma but in some rare moment of absolute purity we tap the exiatencial , akhasic records . All of us were in deep meditation , the speaking and listening was there as the existence was telling us how the alchamy of love that ties the two soul and hearts and experience such as enlightenment,physical death happens to both Gautama Buddha and Yashothara in the same time .

For hours he spoke of Yashodhara .. Yeshodhara was the life companion and wife of Gautama. It was as if Gautama Buddha was remebering His Yashodhara.Though Gautama Buddha and Yashodhara lived physically apart there was tremendous love and syncronicity, inner connection and oneness .He said it was unfair of the humanity that nowhere the name of Yashothara or her statue of remeberence,or symbol of rememberence is installed. He gave few wonderful, mystical and scared discourses on glorious but unknown life of Yeshodhara. He revealed the untold life of Yeshodhara, her sacrifice to the whole Buddha dharma, her hidden synchronicity with Buddha.

She was enlightened and left the physical body at the same time of Gautama Buddha .He was claiming the injustice done to Yashothara who never wanted or asked for any position ,power in the Sangh of his desciples but was just a part of him and his Sangh.The whole story revolved around Yoshothara who inspired internally and reminded Buddha of his spiritual journey.She was the unseen foundation of Buddha and his spiritual journey and the spiritual work.It is really an unknown story that how many lives austerity and sacrifice must have been there to be the consort of the Gautama Buddha and help him so mysteriously to move ahead the wheel of dhamma.

It was not just mere words, almost everyone felt the presence of Buddha and the celestial beings.There was the chrasmatic presence as if Yoshothara was there !After the wonderous love of Meera and Krishna ,here is Yoshothara and Buddha.This much is for today more I will continue tommorrow .
