    Finding Your Own Way - The...

    The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE.  Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. 

It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are.
Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood.
In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment.
The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.1".
Vol.01 FINDING YOUR OWN WAY

- The Most Excellent Way
- The Greatest Miracle
- Only Nothing Is
- Two Empty Skies Meeting
- Real Repentance Is Remembering
- Nothing Is Lacking
- Living the Dhamma
- Sincerity in the Search
- The Truth beyond Magic
- Thus Come, Thus Gone
An abridged edition of this series of talks was published as an audiobook under the title "The Buddha Said", which included only the chapters in which Osho comments on the original sutras by Buddha. This series is the full experience.

    The ancient city of Babylon, nestled along the banks of the Euphrates River in what is now modern-day Iraq, was once the heart of a thriving and sophisticated civilization. As early as the third millennium BCE, this region—Mesopotamia—was home to great cities, towering ziggurats, and a people whose innovations would echo through history. Babylon, in particular, rose to prominence under rulers like Hammurabi and later Nebuchadnezzar II, becoming a center of law, culture, architecture, and religion. It was in this complex and multilayered society that women of various classes and backgrounds lived lives shaped by intricate social structures, religious practices, and evolving legal systems. 
Life in ancient Babylon was deeply hierarchical, with power distributed according to class, gender, and occupation. At the top of society were the royal family and elite nobles, followed by priests, scribes, merchants, and skilled artisans. Below them were laborers, slaves, and other commoners. Women existed in all these layers of society and their roles, rights, and opportunities were directly influenced by their social standing. Elite women might serve as priestesses or manage large households and estates, while lower-class women often labored in agriculture, textile production, or domestic service. Despite the limitations placed on them by patriarchal norms, Babylonian women carved out meaningful spaces for themselves in both public and private life. 
Religion was a central pillar of Babylonian culture and offered women specific roles within its framework. Temples were among the most powerful institutions, and women—especially those from noble or priestly families—could attain influential positions as priestesses. These women oversaw rituals, managed temple property, and acted as intermediaries between the divine and human realms.
