After you have read a book by Osho, your life is never the same. Any book by Osho always opens new horizons of your mind and consciousness. Osho takes you on a journey of self-discovery with each and every one of his books.

For the very popular Osho World pavilion at the World Book Fair in New Delhi, Osholovers were invited to share their experiences of reading Osho books. Every Osho book, or discourse and video for that matter, becomes a journey to the unknown and the unknowable. On reading the book again, you discover new meanings and get new understanding and awareness.

So the invitees for this project were asked: Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most? How did it stimulate, provoke, inspire, elevate and/or awaken you? How did it expand your inner horizon? Did it teach you any new meditation technique? Did this book change your outlook on your life?

The response was sincere, authentic and emotional. Every one wrote from the heart, expressing the innermost feelings and unlimited gratitude to Osho for enriching their life with his books. From just booklovers, they became ardent Osholovers.

Osho came into my life in 1975 by ways of a small book entitled 'Who am I?’ by Acharya Rajneesh. His books were very rare in Canada where I lived at the time, actually hard to get anywhere around the world! I had a small successful business in high fashion in Yorkville, Toronto, which had no meaning for me; I felt like I was in “waiting“, that this was not all there was to life. I tried to fit into society, but I have always been a rebel!

In 1978, another meeting through the books 'My Way: The Way of the White Cloud' and 'When The Flowers Showered' At this point it was an instant bolt of lightning, awakening, knowing and truth. I set out to fly to Pune in October 1979, to meet the man who spoke these profound words that synchronized with my very soul. I asked for sannyas immediately and the moment I met Him in darshan on October 19th, a heart to heart connection was established, a silent explosion, a transformation. I had planned to stay for three months yet stayed for one year.

I spent the next 23 years coming frequently to India…sitting at the feet of The Master. I also continued doing courses and trainings at the Multiversity and lived for three years in Rajneeshpuram. After Osho left His body, I was fortunate to get into motion pictures where I was a Head of Department for the production of many feature films, TV movies and series. I felt Osho had given me the courage to live out loud fearlessly.

Over the course of 33 years, I have dedicated my life to Osho's vision. As a Certified Meditation Counselor, Stress Management Consultant and Reiki Master, I have worked, lived, studied and offered many trainings and groups in Canada to help individuals pursue the development of their potential and transformation to higher consciousness. I look forward to the day I will be able to continue, as in this present time I have put everything aside to live totally in the moment, care giving my beloved Mother…no future, no past only Now; I am living an amazing journey...life is so full. I have been prepared for this a long time and I hear Osho's words on death, dying, rebirth. He is my source of comfort, my rock, my inspiration. I am grateful also for all the long- time friends whom I have met through Sannyas, who are available to me, sharing words of wisdom, and most of all, love.

To this day, the love remains and continues to grow. There is a deep sense of gratitude for having this rare opportunity to be with the greatest Enlightened Master of our time.

Osho gave me wings to fly, I have an incredible life.

I was born into a traditional Hindu, Brahmin family.  My father was a staunch Rama devotee. We had a Rama temple in our house and we regularly had traditional sadhus and pundits visiting our house to perform some rituals. I was young at the time and could not understand the reason behind these rituals.  As I grew up and went to England for further studies, I had this burning desire to know myself. I wanted answers to so many questions like why I am here? The mysteries of life and death and who am I?  So the search started and I went to a few organisations and heard discourses of various traditional pandits and sadhus. I came out quite disillusioned after hearing their discourses as I could not comprehend what they were saying nor did I get any answers to my questions.

 By this time I was totally disillusioned with traditional holy men and my ardent search continued which led me to an Osho meditation centre in London where I was advised that if you are a beginner the best book that will answer all my questions is “I Am The Gate.”  When I was browsing through the "biographical glimpse” of Osho/Rajneesh by Ma Anand Prem she says "Bhagwan is non-traditional in his approach, his methods are revolutionary". This prompted me to buy his book, "I Am The Gate" and instinctively I felt in my heart that this is exactly what I have been searching. I was really thirsty and I found my well.

The book presents informal discourses given in India in response to questions asked by disciples and seekers. I was fascinated by this book. Somehow it got hold of my inner being.  Osho's explanations are very simple to understand, I could feel his compassion and love throughout this book. The most powerful sentence for me in this book is when he says "The moment someone feels this oneness towards me. He becomes a part of the cosmic whole". To me this was the divine invitation which touched the innermost core of my being and the only recourse possible was to enter. This is the book that changed my life completely. It answered all my questions and Osho made me aware of powerful tools within myself and their characteristics mainly mind, ego, heart and body, which helped me to understand myself. The clarity which Osho gives is crystal clear. Osho talks about meditation and the paths to Inner Awakening.

 He says "each age needs new devices because the mind has changed". Now I understand that as there is physical evolution so there is evolution of consciousness and each enlightened master gives new devices. This was really convincing and I knew in my heart that Osho is an awakened master and I sincerely started practicing his new revolutionary meditations which he has devised for the modern men.  I started with dynamic meditations and for me that was a cleansing process which helped me to clear the inner garbage. As time went by I felt the bliss, the playfulness and the absurdity of existence. Osho says "I give you the method; your body, your being will give you the route. And the awakened energy can use any route."  Sure through Osho's meditations I found my route. I was full of joy, ecstasy and gratitude. I finally surrendered to this living Buddha who not only transformed my life but gave me the freedom of the skies. I was now willing to grow in Osho's garden, under his protection, love, grace and compassion with a promise to blossom like a fragrant, colourful flower offering itself in deep gratitude to my beloved Osho's lotus feet.

Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?

The Osho book which overwhelmed me the most was “Only One Sky”, now called “Tantra the Supreme Understanding”.

How did it stimulate, provoke, inspire, elevate and/or awaken you?

I was imbibing Osho through his words. He was saying everything I felt to be true expressed could not put in words, and not only this, but put so beautifully, his words were pure poetry. All this that I had always felt, that the entire Western world denied the existence of. Here was a man who spoke my own heart. I'll never forget reading this book – being transported to another dimension, the world was opening up... So much love. And still when I read this book (and all his books) now I feel his love raining down.

How did it expand your inner horizon? Did it teach you any new meditation technique?

“Only One Sky” changed my world. There is no way to describe what this book did for me. This was 1978. I made plans to go to India (I was still in college) and in 1980 I went to Pune. Did it expand my inner horizon? Well, you could say so. I spent 11 years at the feet of an enlightened man, who taught me through silence everything that could be taught about meditation. This went way beyond any meditation technique. This book was the beginning – it put me in an energetic contact with this immense, amazing, exquisite being, my Master Osho, which utterly changed me, my life, my outlook on life, my experience of life... Really there are no words.

When I read “Only One Sky” in 1978, it changed the course of my life. Having grown up as a Roman Catholic with all the guilt and repressions that that particular religion imposed on me as a child, Osho's words lifted the heavy burdens of oppression off me, leaving me free to be myself without conflict with the church. I never looked back. In fact, I was a university student at the time but his words were so wise and so poetic that I dropped out of the university to fly to India and study with him. 

If he was alive in my lifetime, there was no doubt in my mind that I had to meet him.  I had read J. Krishnamurti's books before reading “Only One Sky” and I found them to be stimulating and intelligent, but Osho's presence came through his words like a fragrance. I was intoxicated by his perceptions, by the vastness of his consciousness, and I wanted to drink directly from the well.

It took me months to save enough money to go to Pune at that time so I began doing Dynamic and Kundalini meditations every morning for 90 days with several others who were intrigued by his books.  We did the meditations outside just after sunrise in an open pasture. Those meditations, along with the words I was reading in his books, saved me from a life of mediocrity and freed me from years of pent up anger about my broken family. 

I have been a sannyasin for 34 years now.  I returned to school to attain a Ph.D. in Psychology.  I am the author of “UnTherapy: A Positive Psychology of Enlightened Living.”  Everything I share with others I learned from Osho. He is the greatest of all the teachers I have ever had the opportunity to study with because he was not just a teacher, he was a
living Master, a concept foreign to Americans but truly emancipating for this one. 

I am nothing but grateful for the fateful day I ran across “Only One Sky.” I still have the copy which is falling apart after all these years but I can't bear to let it go.  It was my salvation.

Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?
"Take It Really Seriously.”

With jokes and humour.
How did it expand your inner horizon?
Er... did it?

Made it nutty.

For me to select one book is very difficult. For me, Osho is an Ocean and always giving. Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?
Every book whether on Zen, Buddha, Tao, Tantra, Awareness, Intimacy, etc are inspiring. Its hard to pinpoint one book from the Master of Masters. Every book has something to offer which alters one's life.

After reading many books the realisation was to meditate.
How did it expand your inner horizon?
The world changed from the outside to the inside.

Osho books and Osho Meditations have brought joy and bliss. I remain hungry for more and Osho keeps satiating my inner journey through books and meditations. 

Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?

The two volumes of “Take it Easy” on the Zen monk Ikkyu.

We had all just been nicely complimented in the English series a month before as being the chosen people that Buddha had foretold in the “Diamond Sutra.” It was as if Osho demolished every romantic and cherished view we had on being a mystic. Ikkyu was a real human being…no exhaled visionary far above us with a capital letter... but a human human. Mischievious, wild a true crazy cloud... there are even comic books about this mystic who is seen as the ultimate trickster in Japanese minds. Osho's discourses give such a rich understanding of this mystic's deceptively crazy world. How did it stimulate, provoke, inspire, elevate and/or awaken you?

It just ushered in the real world

How did it expand your inner horizon? Did it teach you any new meditation technique? Did this book change your outlook on your life?

All and none of the above!

Heaven and Earth are brought together. Great changes hang in the air these days.  Our institutions are in crisis; economic, political, social, environmental and religious. We had a taste of change in the Sixties & Seventies but the forces of reaction at that time blocked everything.  I left London, bought a small farm and established myself in a simple life.

Existence had other plans for me however. I was brought face to face with my death one day in a snowbound telephone-booth. A petrol tanker was skidding sideways towards me. 'I m going to die and I haven't yet lived,' screamed an inner voice. I escaped with my body barely scratched. But now I really was determined to find out who and what I was and what I should be doing on this earth.

 Sometime later, I was milking in the early morning, my head resting in the warm flank of the cow, when my wife came in, unwrapping a parcel. She sat down on a milking stool and read from a book called “My Way: The Way of the White Cloud” by Osho.

When she finished we were both in tears. I loosed the cow, poured the milk into the creamer, washed the buckets and we reread the passage to our friend Roddy who was burning toast in the kitchen.

  ' . . . there are two types of living; one fear-oriented; one love-oriented.

If you can allow love to happen, there is no need for prayer, there is no need for meditation, there is no need for any church or temple.

For a lover, there is no death. For a non-lover, every moment is a death, because every moment something is being snatched away from him.

Make love an inner search. And take the other person as a help, as a friend. Then through this relationship you will achieve the ultimate relationship.

And what have you got to lose?

Nothing.

This body will be taken by death. Before it is taken give it to love. In love there will be no death.'

'We have to see this man. He knows!' I said, and my knees started shaking so much that I had to sit down.  For the first time in my adult life I knew I was facing something immeasurably greater than myself. I was shaking with awe, not fear.
One sip of Osho's wine took us to a new life, a new world.  In India, we drank the whole glass. I was smashed, legless, out of my crust. He stole my heart and the layout plans of my future. He removed all the baggage I was carting around.  He gave me back what I already am.

 Just yesterday I read about a hospice nurse in Australia who collected a list of the regrets of people dying in her care. Some common themes surfaced repeatedly…

          • I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others want from me.
          • I wish I hadn't worked so hard. (This came from every male patient).
          • I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.  (Many developed illnesses relating to the resentment they carried as a result)
          • I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
          • I wish that I had let myself be happier. (Most people regretted how little they had laughed and played)

In bed last night, I asked myself what my regrets were. Osho has worked a subtle alchemy on us. Every one of my regrets transmutes into a blessing. With love and meditation the darkest valley leads to the brightest peak. I can't call any of them unalloyed regrets.

In the end, I made a list of all the blessings of my life. That I met the incomparable master Osho is top of my list along with the wondrous groping of my kids and grandchildren.

One paragraph from one book­– heaven and earth are brought together.

Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?
All his books overwhelmed and delighted me.
How did it stimulate, provoke, inspire, elevate and/or awaken you?
These are the only books that will never bore me...I will read them forever and they will always be new to me. How did it expand your inner horizon?
His presence in my life changed me for good.
Did it teach you any new meditation technique?
These days the phrase "meditation technique" always produces the giggles in me...
Did this book change your outlook on your life?
If I ever had an outlook on my life, then it has now disappeared!!

Every Osho book plumbs the depths of my heart.  Strikes a chord in some hidden recess of my being.

Takes me on a journey I hate to come back from. Every book of his I read leaves me poorer by me and  richer by him. His deep insight, his iconoclastic views and subtle humour make ecstatic reading. I love every word of what I read of him. But it was “The Ultimate Alchemy, Part -1” that turned my life around. On page one, Osho had quoted Mahavir.

'Mahavir says even to make your presence felt is violence.'

Then, 'I am in contact with the bodiless Mahavir.'

These two lines shook me to my roots. My heart throbbed with joy, awe, wonder. I was filled with an ecstasy hitherto unknown to me. I went so madly happy, so happily mad on those few words!

Then came a strange realisation. Haven't I heard him say that before? Sometime, somewhere, in some bygone niche of time? Wasn't I sitting before him listening with rapt attention? When was it and where?

The book was my first exposure to Osho and yet the feeling of familiarity!  With a throbbing heart I picked up the book. Read it from cover to cover and was never the same again!  I found answers to the questions that had plagued me through my life. He dispelled the darkness I was surrounded by. Gave me a glimpse of the truth I was seeking so eagerly.

I could not rest till I went to Pune and took sannyas. Life since has been an uninterrupted song of bliss. Every sunrise brings me a new ecstasy. Every bird sings me a new song of love.

I am always at the feet of my beloved Master, who has acquainted me with myself; with the truth about myself and the world around me, who has filled my life with sunshine and stars.

I love you my Beloved Osho.

Accidentally, I came to pick up one of Osho books during my holidays and I began to read that book. I could not put it down until I finished it. It awakened my awareness and made me speechless. I cried tears of joy and gratitude filled my heart and since that day any book from Osho's discourses have been a must for me.

It will be idiotic to pick one book and say this is the best. It is just like picking a few drops from the Ganges and say these drops are better than the other drops. My gratitude to Osho is growing. I became very silent and I don't want to write this letter but I am doing this for Osho and to encourage someone like me who can pick up any of Osho's books and experience the bliss. Do not ask questions but just keep reading the book. Do not judge Osho or his words but keep on reading it. Finally you will achieve a great insight of life and you will see your true face. You will find some "errors" and they are not errors at all. They are the traps to make you throw the book away. If you can withstand and read it without criticisisng, you will experience the happiness, the bliss (anandha).

I was certain that I would have ended up in a psychiatric hospital as a patient and would probably have spent a lot of money if I had not begun to read Osho. I owe this life to Osho because he with his magical words awakened me and changed the path of my life. Often I cry that I did not have the opportunity to see him in person. I did not give anything to Osho but he has given me immeasurable grace and bliss. May that Osho come back once again to help mankind.

Osho, what can I say about the Master of Masters. I was blessed to pick up a book on Osho and his meditations in 1999 via a book called “The Everyday Meditator” (Newleaf, UK). The book's message was how to have meditation in your daily life, like every day is a meditation or is in meditative quality. That sounded wonderful, as I was not looking at an 'Escape', if it's possible on an everyday basis...then it makes sense.

After I picked that book, I have never looked back. Osho liberated me from the conditioning I had clung to for no choice of mine. I was at that time preparing for my MBA entrance and was very low, dull and feeling down, what will happen?  There was no joy inside me, only uncertain feelings. Osho's laughter meditation which I did every day at 5:30 am (during my morning walks) for only ten minutes started to do magic on me. The dull weight from my shoulders lifted off slowly and I started to feel vibrant and lively while preparing for my exams.

I started to see joy in everything. Joy became the central focus. I was not doing anything, it was happening on its own. That was the most wonderful part.

Then I read “100 Stories for 10,000 Buddhas” by Ma Dharm Jyoti which described a beautiful journey. The book always stays with me and I love it so much. It is full of short stories on how to take life every day in laughter. I have taken part in numerous meditations while working in the outside world – such as Whirling, Laughter, Vipassana and Nadabrahma. I love the Kundalini and Celebration dance as well.  A White Robe is almost like this beautiful real meeting with the master. I know that the master may not be in his body but he is so alive in us, all of us. That is the most beautiful thing, becoming alive rather than follow some dogma.

I cannot thank Osho and Osho World Foundation enough for keeping Osho's vision alive in its galleria, in Oshodham and many such places and events where 'friends' meet without the limitation of age, caste, creed. Love and true respect prevail. Adore you master, so many thanks.

Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?
“Tantra: The Supreme Understanding” – the first of his I read.
How did it stimulate, provoke, inspire, elevate and/or awaken you?
By showing me that here is a man who understands things that most others don't (but I do). And that if this man understands these things so well that I also understand, then presumably I can trust that the things he understands that I don't understand, I might also come to understand one day, too.
How did it expand your inner horizon?
By making me realise that I wanted to meet such a man, because he might be willing to teach me these things.
Did this book change your outlook on your life?
It didn't change my outlook, it changed my life.

For me, each Osho book signals a beginning of a new page in my life. But the first book was “special” in a sense that it is how Osho and I became acquainted in this lifetime. The title of the book was something like The Way (or Path) To Freedom (it was in Russian). I started reading and felt an enormous exasperation. I was just fuming with frustration. I thought: It's impossible! Who is this crazy person writing all these nonsensical ideas? He must be totally out of his mind if he thinks that these ideas can appeal to any sane person or help anyone. Yet, for some reason I was continuing the reading. However, often I had to stop because my irritation was going through the roof and I could not continue. I would throw the book somewhere in the corner and would do some vigorous work around the house to calm myself down, throwing angry glances at the book. Then resuming again and again, still fuming though.

One day I was at home alone, reading, when I found myself dancing in the middle of the room with my eyes closed and with a great ecstatic joy in my heart. I was surprised (to say the least) because I could not remember when I started dancing and why. And the whole incident seemed crazy. I began looking around me in a hope to find an answer. Why this joy, why this dance... Then my gaze fell on the book and I thought sarcastically – Oh, my God, This book has nothing to do with my joy! Cannot possibly have anything to do with this joy!!!

It's just a collection of stingy, offensive and contentious ideas. Of no value… Still I decided to do the checking. The book was open at page 70 so I started reading... and loved every single word! I thought that maybe the author became more sensible now, at this page, so I checked a few pages earlier... and loved every single word! Then I remembered my utmost frustration at page 30, so I checked there... but everything was as sublime. My heart was singing with joy. I could not understand what caused my irritation before. I went back right to the first page falling in love deeper and deeper with every moment. When my checking was completed, with tears in my eyes and my heart bursting with love and gratitude I realised that the person who started the reading several days ago was no longer there. That was the beginning of my love affair with Osho (well, in this life).  One paragraph from one book­– heaven and earth are brought together.

I have spent all my life listening to music and learning how to play the ancient beautiful sitar. Only someone with the intellect of the learned Osho can explain the reasons of my wild way of life.

The book which I consider a classic by Osho is “The Mustard Seed.” I have a list of about ten best books, movies, classical music both vocal and instrumental and people who have had a profound effect on me. I rate Osho as someone who has been a very strong influence in making my life such that I have become enriched by his teachings.

My eldest sister Kanta Advani, a sannyasin, first explained his teachings to me and I read many books of his. In Kenya, my father-in-law Mr. Maharaj Bhandari was a devotee of his and spent hours listening to the tapes of Bhagwan Rajneesh as he was known then. Nairobi had a very big circle of Punjabis who were followers of Osho. Everyone is convinced that he was extremely well read and it was that knowledge that brought thousands of people to his Ashram in Pune to listen to him. Those talks are what we listened to in Nairobi and later in London.

It was this knowledge which inspired me to read about other religions. To quote a saying of the Buddha, “The diamond is the hardest known substances, cannot be crushed. Sand and stones can be ground to powder but diamonds remain unscathed.” Osho and his teachings will stay as strong forever.

A wise pandit in his sermon explains with a story. He said that if you want to go from one place to another you ask someone who knows the way, or you nowadays consult a map or tom tom in your car which guides you. Osho very neatly explained all the enlightened people, like Muhammad, Buddha, Guru Nanak, and Christ. Osho appeals to me because he is able to analyse these religions and with stories and sometimes a joke that made his explanation very entertaining.

He made me look within myself as he explained to the world the art of meditation and also that we are on this earth as tenants of God who is the landlord of this universe and you should rejoice that you have the opportunity to be in this world and be able to see the wonder of his art and beauty of the clouds and the universe and spend time in praise of the power which controls the planets. And that power is God. I am thankful to Osho who came to this world and, in the most beautiful Hindi, made us appreciate life which is the greatest gift.

God knows no language so there is no need to bring language in; one can be utterly silent with God. That is the beauty of the communion called prayer.” “Osho”
I don't remember when I started reading Osho's books but his words have shaped my conscience and helped me enhance every walk of my life. His words for me are “elixir of life”. It is very hard for anyone to explain his guru's blessings on him and so is my trouble. Osho can be lived, experienced, praised by singing a hymn but very hard to be written through the medium of words.
His blessings on me are so vast that I poured my love for him in the form of following poem...

Dance your way to god
It's the easy road,
Dance with your eyes
They can never hide,
Dance with your breath
It's only borrowed from death,
Dance with your soul
It's your ultimate goal,
Dance and sing with the whole,
Where you will be blessed and embraced by unknown
Dance your way to god
It's the easy road.
The book which entices me till today is “Dhyan Sutra” as it vividly explains how to prepare for the journey towards ultimate self. Osho's beautiful Dhyan Sutras help a seeker who is meandering on his path and brings him back to his real home. Osho's every word is a blessing and I wish everyone get blessed by reading those words. To realize what meditation is, I will say this book is must read.
Other book to mention is “True Name- Ek Omkar Satnam”. When you read this book you will feel as if Guru Nanak Dev ji himself is speaking. How by simply singing with utmost devotion Guru Nanak reached his home can never better be explained. Read this book or listen to the discourse I am sure it will mesmerize every human being.
Osho's every book, his each word compels every human being to question his every thought and way of living. His challenge is not for cowards but for courageous men who have only love in the heart and have trust on this existence. Guru's grace is so vast, like a sea and believe me it's worth drowning.
“Come let us dance with our Osho, come let us sing with our Osho.
He's waiting to embrace us ”

It is very difficult to point out one discourse, chapter, pravachan mala or a book - it seems Osho said everything with utmost sincerity and reason - you pick any page from any book and you will surely find your hands full with something invaluable.

Osho came into my life in around 1986-87. I was in 10th standard or clears and that was the time we used to have big 'Rajneesh Times' and I still remember 'Haiku' paintings and bamboo leaves printed on the margins of the magazine. It was something from a very different world - world that I knew from the magazines. I'm still in search and like to add that three-four books have opened a new dimension in my understanding of these two words meditation and love and many more:

1. Geeta Darshan - Oh! What to say!!!!! Most practical book - each discourse sinks into the depths of the being...it took me two years to go through the full pravachan mala. Miles rather Lives to go but now have better understanding.

2. I am the Gate - Every sincere seeker must read it through and keep referring. Among many gems, it gives an insight what is 'I' in a egoless being, what is gateless gate, what is pathless path..what does it mean when Krishna says to Arjun - leave everything and come into my folds! It prepares the person where to look at and how to go about.

3. The Orange Book - A ready reckoner for every sincere saadhak - it should be at one's bedside...I'm fond of the line that Osho uses in this book - Meditation is a 'Knack'.

4. Astavakra MahaGeeta - It is the nectar - ultimate truth that Osho opens up for us. How to go about it - refer 'Geeta Darshan'-- pick any method -- start living that method practically.
I'm in gratitude...Osho. Thank You.

Which Osho book overwhelmed you the most?

“Hammer on the Rock”, the first Osho book I bought and read after having become a sannyasin. I loved this book so much that I carried it around me for years but during the many travels between various countries it disappeared. No doubt somebody else needed it more than I at the time! However, the love affair continued and just recently I managed to order a copy of the first print and when I unpacked it, tears of joy welled up.

How did it stimulate, provoke, inspire, elevate and awaken you?

It made me look in particular at relationships in a new way. I was reading about people who bared it all and Osho's compassionate answers blew my mind, the mysteries and hardship of relationships on the forefront in those days.

How did it expand your inner horizon?

Letting go of petty habits and beliefs about relationships catapulted me out of co-dependency into a happy solitary bird.
Did it teach you any new meditation technique?

Yes, letting go!

Did this book change your outlook on your life?

Yes, as with every word I ever heard my Master speaks.
