Sinossi

Ancient Calendars explores how early civilizations tracked time, revealing remarkable ingenuity and providing insights into their societies. These ancient systems weren't just about measuring days; they deeply influenced agriculture, religion, and social structures. For instance, the Egyptian solar calendar dictated planting seasons, while the Mayan calendar intertwined with cosmology and prophecy. The book navigates this historical, social, and scientific context, requiring no specialized knowledge. It progresses from basic timekeeping concepts to detailed examinations of calendars like the Roman one, which eventually evolved into our Gregorian calendar. By understanding these calendrical systems, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intellectual capabilities and worldviews of past civilizations. This book uniquely examines ancient calendars from technical, cultural, and religious perspectives. It highlights how these systems reflect a civilization's relationship with the cosmos and continue to inform our understanding of cultural identity and historical change.

    "Crito" is a philosophical dialogue between Socrates and his friend Crito, taking place in Socrates' prison cell in Athens. Socrates has been sentenced to death for allegedly corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety, and the dialogue takes place in the hours leading up to his execution. Crito has come to persuade Socrates to escape from prison and flee Athens, but Socrates refuses, arguing that he must obey the laws of Athens, even if they are unjust. Socrates believes that he has a moral obligation to obey the laws, since he has lived in Athens and benefited from its laws for his entire life. He also believes that it would be unjust to break the social contract that he has entered into with the state. Read in English, unabridged.

    Osho sees Zen not as a historical spiritual tradition but as the future spirituality of a humanity that has matured to the point that people no longer need religions controlled by priesthoods and based on fearful superstitions that cripple people's innate intelligence and divide them from one another.
    This series of talks offers a deeper understanding of the underlying differences between Eastern and Western approaches to religion and the nature of consciousness. It's a beautiful introduction to a world where each individual has the capacity for an instant and profound understanding of existence and a rebirth of the trust in life that each of us is born with.
    Dang Dang Doko Dang represents the sound of the drum beaten by a Zen master in an existential lesson for a disciple. As well as symbolizing the poetic quality of Zen, the title represents the special flavor of this collection of Osho's commentaries on well-known Zen stories. This volume is part of the Osho Classics series and also includes Osho's responses to questions about the meditation technique of Zazen.
