About this series · summary by Osho Live

"The Tantra Vision, Vol 2" is a captivating exploration of Osho's transformative interpretation of the ancient spiritual tradition of Tantra. In this series, Osho elaborates on Tantra as an integrative and holistic path that celebrates life in all its dimensions. Emphasizing that Tantra is not merely a ritualistic practice, Osho presents it as an embrace of existence, a cultivation of awareness that transcends conventional dualities like body and spirit, sacred and profane. He invites the seeker to a deeper understanding that Tantra is, fundamentally, an affirmation of life and a journey to rediscover the divine within the mundane. Osho's discourse challenges the mind's tendency to fragment experience, urging a return to innocence and spontaneity. He deconstructs cultural misconceptions surrounding sexuality and spirituality, advocating for a union where every act is transformed into a meditative, sacred event. Through humor, profound insight, and incisive dialogue, "The Tantra Vision, Vol 2" serves as a guide to awakening the dormant energy within each individual, encouraging a life lived with total presence and love. This series not only illuminates Tantra's rich philosophy but also weaves it into the fabric of everyday living, offering a path of liberation through surrender and mindfulness.

  1. 1
    The Tantra Map 1 May 1977

    Tantra frees you from mind-made slavery by transforming erotic craving into an inner marriage through seven-chakra alchemy, using sexual fire to reach lasting unity.

  2. 2
    Freedom is a higher Value 2 May 1977

    Mature love is gift-love, overflowing from completeness; need-love is dependence and slavery. Freedom is a higher value than love; love flows even without disciples.

  3. 3
    Breaking the four Seals 3 May 1977

    Tantra is the razor-edge of awareness between indulgence and renunciation: break four seals (action, knowing, time, space) to transcend false experiences.

  4. 4
    Trust cannot be betrayed 4 May 1977

    Attraction to married people masks fear of commitment and avoidance of real involvement; true trust honors freedom, and Tantra transforms repressed sexual energy into awakened love.

  5. 5
    From Nothing to nothing 5 May 1977

    From nothing to nothing: no-mind is the source and goal; know the 'One' beyond memory, learn nonmemory to return to the creative Void. Seek a Master.

  6. 6
    I am enough alone 6 May 1977

    Losing your voice in true communion shows ego dissolving into presence; the Master's field and yantras transform machines into awake being, be enough alone.

  7. 7
    Intelligence is Meditation 7 May 1977

    Tantra reclaims the body and senses, purges repressions and dust from mind; intelligence becomes meditation, a direct priestless path to the One.

  8. 8
    Love makes no shadow 8 May 1977

    Intelligence is innate meditation: society cripples it with fear, greed and conformity; true love frees, creates no shadow, and life lived authentically heals.

  9. 9
    No-Mind is the Door 9 May 1977

    No-mind, not intellect, is the doorway to Tantra; taste joy (even sexual orgasm) to transcend thought—experience, not explanation, reveals world and God as one.

  10. 10
    Just a remembrance 10 May 1977

    Drop ideals: BE. Nirvana is not a future goal but remembrance of your present; transcend repression - sex, love and marriage must flow freely, not be possessed.
