Osho was one of the best known and most provocative contemporary mystics of the twentieth century. His wisdom is legendary, as is his skill in guiding his audience to an understanding of complex philosophical concepts using humour and the art of storytelling. In Buddha - His Life And Teachings, Osho takes the reader on a journey of understanding that cannot be taught but can only be experienced. In 1974, Osho established a centre for meditation and self-discovery in Pune, India. By taking various principles from all Eastern disciplines, Osho created, in effect, a new branch of thought - one that is very palatable and is very popular among Western audiences. His books deal with spirituality, self-knowledge and acceptance, meditation, relaxation, and relationships, among other things.
