Reincarnation-the process of reincarnation

joea

Oshoyoi
Could I please have Zenzero,Onkarah ,friends and all to expand on this; Do we get to pick our parents in our next life ?

"One birth has been given to you by your parents,"
the other birth is waiting.
It has to be given to you by yourself.
You have to father and mother yourself.
Then your whole energy is turning in--
it becomes an inner circle.

This would be better suited for posting in the Hinduism or Dharmic Religions DIR's. The teachings of Osho Rajneesh has nothing at all to do with Buddhism. -NM-

I do not think we get to choose anything about reincarnation, if we do indeed reincarnate. My theistic mixing and ecclecticism give me a unique outlook on reincarnation.

Why "quote mining"?...

Tell me how this is out of context? The words you posted are verbatem of Osho Rajneesh who is clearly not a Buddhist practioneer. This is the wrong DIR for this.

Reincarnation is the discussion, what's your view on it ? or you're just here for something else ?

It's in The Beloved Volume 1 amongst the other dribble this fraud, and major criminal had written. Quite a colorful history BTW too. You should you check it out. Just examine his well documented rap sheet, history of violence, and take note of his criminal history as well especially pertaining to the Rajneeshee bio-terror attack in 1984 in Wasco county affecting over 750 people of which was the first bio attack perpetrated on U.S. soil. Just to sway an election. I still remember seeing the news reports of his actions as it was going down. A real piece of work this guy was in the way he had disgraced the dharma and himself of whose actions the karma is still being felt by those he traumatized. You have a funny choice on who to follow. -NM-

Don't side track...where does it say he didn't follow the teachings of Buddha?..what you have provided is old news.

If its old news, then why is damage control being still done today to explain away his criminal actions? Should I continue on about the conspired assassination plot by his senior members against U.S. attorney Charles Turner a year later as well? People are still talking about all this today.
Karma's a real ***** sometimes. You know?

People should know about this man and what he had intentionally done to others in way of harming them and to those who were in his commune which included childern. To simply stay quiet on this would not be right action now would it?

Tell you what. In regards to his touted "Buddhist lineage" Give me a Theravada, Mahayana, or Vajrayana source (Straight from the horses mouth) that clearly recognises Osho Rajneesh as a transmitted Buddhist teacher of whose lineage I can check up on, and I''ll happily clam up about this being in the wrong DIR. I provided a source. He's not a Buddhist teacher. This is a Buddhist DIR. To do so is misrepresentation. Nows your turn to prove me wrong. Fair enough?

I am curious as to why you're attacking this thread ( you're Mod or just hate ?).if you know nothing about reincarnation why don't you say so?, otherwise move on....

Friend NowhereMan and joea,

The Thread by friend joea is:
Reincarnation-the process of reincarnation

Though friend joea may be a follower and Osho or Rajneesh or whosoever and even quotes him does not mean that Buddhists do not believe in *reincarnation* and so long as the question relates to a belief of the particular path, find no reason why it should be placed elsewhere only because friend joea follows and quotes X, Y or Z.

So, kindly let us not get into semantics and stay focused on DHARMA as that is what every human is part of.

Friend joea as regards responding to your query; frankly have no idea about it as anything read from books and responding are not authentic unless it is a life experience and regards selection of parents, have no such experience. Rebirth / reincarnation, yes, being a part of it is known but selection of parents would require much more work [meditation] to be in that state to be able to respond to it.

Love & rgds

Friend joea,
Kindly let us remember that what one does is his *karma*.
Only by trusting each other do we progress as we are all from/to the same source and so will not get into why, how, etc.
If he has objected, surely he will have his reasons and have personally stated the reason that have seen in the OP and responded accordingly.

Love & rgds

Not a mod and its rather silly to imply hate on my part whereas Ohso Rajneesh has demonstrated this term so beautifully through his actions and consequently showed no sign of remorse towards to those he harmed.
Clearly a follower of the Eightfold Path.
My bad. -NM-

Dear Nowhere Man, Regardless of his brush with the law, Osho offers incredible insights into matters spiritual. It is not certificates by anyone that determines the value of a work. A valuable work would stand on its own merit. Osho has produced many such works, including on Buddha. Great works do not require official sponsorship and great masters do not need recognition as "transmitted masters"!

I believe you have not personally experienced any of the above, except what you have read or heard from others. personally, I know Osho better than you do. You need to sit down and listen to a 2hr discourse ( I have over 1000 of them )before you can know the real Osho. Every Guru has it's own way of teaching and getting through to it's students.His teachings on Buddhism and approach works for me; To me. that is all that matters.
