One Hundred Tales For Ten Thousand Buddhas—this is an essential book. There exists no other quite like it. It is a collection of living moments with the living Buddha. It is not some events remembered and then adorned with reactions. These are tales vitally alive. These tales are a great gift for all of us—those who have sat with the living Master and those who haven’t. It is a book for all seekers. It is also a book for those who are not actively seeking, but surely have the same longing-the longing for a taste of that love which has no bondage.

This is the diary of the roller-coaster ride of Shunyo's inner and outer adventures, which proved to be both life and sanity threatening yet profoundly rewarding. The story is told of how a western woman became a disciple of the greatest Mystic of this century. In its simple style she takes the reader through hair-raising adventures from prison, to attempted murder and finally to the truth of Osho's death by thallium poisoning by the American authorities. Running parallel with these outer adventures are her intimate accounts of life with Osho, and her own self-discoveries.

"This glorious ninth-century Buddhist monument - the largest Buddhist monument in the world - stands in the midst of the lush Kedu plain of central Java in Indonesia, where it is visited annually by over a million people. Borobudur consists of over a thousand exquisite relief sculptures extending along its many terraces for a total distance of more than a mile. The monument is constructed to symbolically represent the pilgrimage to enlightenment. The visitor ascends Borobudur, past scenes depicting the world of desire, through the life story of the Buddha and the heroic deeds of other famous enlightened beings, finally arriving at the great circular terraces at the very top of the structure, symbolizing the formless world of emptiness and the attainment of enlightenment. With over eighty color photographs and an informative text, this book celebrates the art and architecture of this famous Buddhist monument. This is the first volume to be published since the ten-year restoration and reconstruction of Borobudur was completed in 1985. In addition to illuminating the archaeological history, religious symbolism, and cultural context of the monument, it presents a detailed description of the sculptured panels and their significance in Buddhist history and philosophy. This book not only provides a scholarly introduction to Borobudur and its historical context, but it also retells - in text and stunning color photographs - the major stories illustrated in the hundreds of bas-relief panels that rank among the masterpieces of Asian and Buddhist art." --
