According to Osho, Buddha’s death by poison left his awakening work inherently unfinished, and his soul has wandered seeking a new host. Osho’s own survival from a stronger poisoning purified and prepared him to receive Buddha’s presence. Thus, Buddha’s energy now strengthens Osho’s mission, creating a living bridge across twenty-five centuries to continue spreading the fire of awakening.
Osho says surviving poison made him clean and open so Buddha’s spirit could help him keep Buddha’s unfinished work alive.
