According to Osho, he belongs to no lineage or discipleship—not even to Maha-Gossipa; he is neither anyone’s disciple nor anyone’s master. Transformation is not taught or caused; it happens in synchronicity through being together, as with a Buddha, where the master is only a catalytic presence. He playfully calls himself “Maha-Gossipa” to stress informal, loving sharing over doctrine.
No—Osho says he’s in no tradition; he’s just a friend whose presence may spark change, like sunshine opening flowers, without teaching or rules.
