"Buddhafield" means a situation
where your sleeping buddha can be awakened.
"Buddhafield" means an energy field where you
can start growing, maturing,
where your sleep can be broken, where you can
be shocked to awareness;
an electric field where you will not be able to
fall asleep,
where you will have to be awake...
You have to be made aware of your potential,
and you have to be given a safe place from where
you can work:
a place where you are not distracted by the world,
a place where you can go on without any disturbance
from the crowd,
a place where ordinary things, taboos, inhibitions,
are put aside;
where only one thing is significant - how to become
a buddha...
By the end of this century, a critical quantum
leap is possible.
Either man will die in a third world war
or man will take the jump and will become a new
man.
Before that happens, a great buddhafield is needed
-
a field where we can create the future.
OSHO, --The Diamond Sutra
In a setting of lush gardens and
contemporary facilities one finds Osho Commune
International, Poona, India. This buddhafield
is a living experiment to realize Osho's vision
of "Zorba the Buddha".
Here Osho has created a scientific approach to
the transformative process, using specially developed
dynamic meditation techniques, therapy and working,
in order to bring people to a state where they
are able to experience meditation.
Each year thousands of visitors
come to the Commune from around the world, for short
visits or to participate for several months: to
take part in the daily meditations, the extensive
program of Osho Multiversity, or through work contribute
to the ever-transforming energy of the buddhafield.
All activities of Osho Commune International, whether
in healing or creative arts, therapy, sports, or
preparing food in the kitchen, take place in the
context of meditation. This emphasis makes Osho
Multiversity, and the Commune, unique in the world.
Meditation in the commune
Many meditations take in Gautama
the Buddha Auditorium each day, starting with
Dynamic Meditation at sunrise. During the day
different meditation techniques, such as Vippasana,
Nataraj, Gourishankar and Nadabrahma, offer a
window to other dimensions of the inner world.
Each day the afternoon program ends with Kundalini
Meditation.
As the highlight of the day, at sunset the entire
Commune comes together in Gautama the Buddha Auditorium
to participate in the Osho White Robe Brotherhood
Meeting, which includes live music, celebration,
silence and a discourse by Osho on video.
Meditation Camps
One weekend of each month, commencing
on the second Friday, is devoted to the Meditation
Camp. No other programs are scheduled for this
time, so that many people can take the opportunity
to immerse themselves in this three-day intensive
experience of Osho's meditation techniques.
Osho Samadhi
Osho's Samadhi, where his ashes
are placed, has a spectacular environment of marble
and glass, which was designed with his guidance.
It must certainly be the most beautiful Samadhi
that has ever been created for any Master. Sitting
in the Samadhi, each meditation can absorb the
profound silence - a powerful and unique experience.
The Samadhi Meditation is available four times
each day.
