talking to Maneesha James about
the CD OSHO Bardo
which has been recently published.
Hi Maneesha.
Hello Nandita.
I have heard that the sales of
CD OSHO Bardo are doing very well?
Yes, that’s right, and the feed-back really is
very very rewarding
We are very happy with that.
I know you’ve practiced this one
Meditation ever, so how is it
for you?
I find it very useful as meditation
daily and the combination
voices and music works
to perfection for me. I
I find it very useful
since it is a delicate balance between
keep me awake and alert
and at the same time relaxed.
How could i say Mmm …
For me it is as if the conscience were
speaking to conscience
about conscience
Hmm. This is a beautiful way
to say it.
And I would be very useful
at the time of dying.
How do you see OSHO Bardo?
As a meditative process
help yourself to go inside
consciously relaxed
It is a process that is useful as well as
to daily meditation, like you
Suggestions, as in the process of
to die.
You co-created it with Sudheer,
who runs workshops at OSHO Sammasati
with you, right?
It’s like this. In fact, it was an effort of the whole team.
Is the designer that
He produced the … He did so much work at
multimedia book
Yes, I see the design is very elegant
And I imagine that it has a nature theme
Present throughout the book. Yes, I can only show you
a little.
And, the benefits are also mentioned
of OSHO Bardo and for who it is.
If.
And how to present it
to another person.
So there’s a lot of information.
And also, there is the CD.
If.
I think that a lot of effort has been made.
It has been put
a lot of work.
And music too – especially
composed and interpreted
by our friend and musician, who is also one
meditator And as part of
the team, the many friends that were selected
like guinea pigs of Indians
that while we developed meditation
they gave us their feedback.
What inspired you to do
OSHO Bardo?
I’d love to share it with
People have the possibility of facing death
otherwise.
There are so many superstitions
about dying, so scared
to the point of denying it and avoiding it.
And, being familiar with the vision
of OSHO, I know how to die can be
a completely different experience.
Probably the biggest fear is
lose control
And through meditation – i
OSHO Bardo is a meditation –
Through meditation we can learn
how to move in and out
Get familiar with this path
That will be the same at the time of death.
And we can also discover this part
in ourselves that you can observe
everything that is happening to him
body that is dying
And in this observation, we know each other
separated from the body.
When the fear is dissolved, then it is
much easier,
As OSHO suggests, celebrate
really the process of death.
Mmm, accidentally, not much
after OSHO Bardo’s publication,
I found an American scientific journal,
that he made known investigations on
what people considered it was
a good death
Yes, it was very interesting.
The researchers spoke with three groups.
People who were dying, their family and
and the healthcare staff.
And the three had a unanimous opinion on
identify three elements that
for them they were a good death:
have a specific death process,
be free of suffering and
have a feeling of wellbeing.
OSHO Bardo covers the three
aspects.
Some of us are familiar with it
Tibetan Bardo Thödol, who is an old woman
Tibetan Buddhist script
that accompanies the process of death.
What is OHO Bardo?
of Tibetan Bardo Thödol?
It is for contemporary women and men.
As you have said, Tibetan
Bardo was created many many years ago,
two thousand five hundred
years.
And we are different, the times are
different.
It is also very culturally specific,
and related to Tibetan Buddhism,
a religion
On the contrary, OSHO Bardo
It does not have a cultural or religious context.
It is so appropriate for people
with religion as without.
It is “experiential”, instead of being based on
beliefs If?
What do you mean by “experiential”?
I mean that it is based on experience
that any person can have,
who consciously moves towards inside, towards
This space we know as meditation,
This space where we recognize ourselves
As separate from our thoughts,
of our feelings and of anybody
physical sensation
This space where all these elements
They seem very peripheral … where the whole …
What we understood once as a reality –
the outside world – it seems a lot
dreamy
And the space in which we are – of immensity
and stillness and silence – feels
com, “This is really the reality.
That’s what I really am. “
OSHO Bardo is based on this,
an experience, as I say, that is available
to any person that moves inwards.
Then, any person using OSHO Bardo,
have you been a meditator?
For example, I was thinking about
my grandmother.
I would suggest you offer it
OSHO Bardo?
If she is interested, she shows
an interest and willingness to …
Obviously, share your experience
About how helpful is it for you.
Yes, and perhaps particularly when someone is
aging, moving away from
the activity of the outside world
In an illness, in the process of dying the energy
it is moving inside. Then, even if somebody
has not experienced before with
Meditation, nor did he hear about it,
It can be very open and ready for
go inside. If.
It is not only the elderly who
will die, right? Not only the elderly
die
We all have to prepare.
We all have to prepare for it
It’s a trip we all have to do.
And it is good to recognize it,
to reach an agreement with this reality.
If.
Is acceptance the key?
Absolutely If.
A nice example of this is found
in the book that Philip Gould wrote
when I was dying He was a politician,
He was a member of the House of Representatives
Lords and a meditator –
so that he was a very cosmopolitan, sophisticated man,
obviously, but also a man with a
interest and familiarity with the internal.
He wrote a book: “When I die:
lessons from the area of death “.
And, there are very beautiful passages.
In one of them he writes:
“I am enjoying” – enjoying! – “my death.”
“It is the most satisfying moment, the trip
more exciting “.
And on acceptance, he says:
“If you can look at death in the eyes
and accept it –
this is healing. “
And then this surprising phrase:
“I feel ecstasy, behind ecstasy,
behind ecstasy. “
He wrote this knowing that in some
months, he was going to die.
And for me this is a surprising one
example of real acceptance.
Maybe, Philip Gould as a meditator,
I knew I was
separated from his body, he was recognized in
he himself as a conscience,
and would have seen death as a liberation,
no? If.
And, I think it’s where the whole is coming from
OSHO understanding about
the celebration,
Once we are free from the body –
Of course, it’s amazing! I
we would leave, “Yupi!”
It would be a total celebration.
And an opportunity to know, “Ecstasy,
behind ecstasy, behind ecstasy. “
If. It’s like this.
And with that, of course,
immense gratitude.
OSHO has said many things
inspirers about gratitude.
And here, particularly, in relation
to die, “When I die with
a sense of satisfaction and gratitude
because life gave you so much,
death is simply the peak
maximum of all that you have lived.
Death is a joy, a celebration. “
Clearly, each house should have it
