Core Insight:
According to Osho, Jesus appears more active and revolutionary because he was killed while still in the 'sun' phase of inner awakening—hot, fiery, rebellious—before his energy could transform into the cool 'moon' of silent compassion. Buddha lived long enough for this alchemical shift, so his later teaching softened. Cultural understanding in India allowed Buddha’s maturation; lack of it led to Jesus’s crucifixion and a fiery legacy.
