Also, we have just mailed out the November/December issue of our Viha Connection http://www.oshoviha.org/connection (see the cover above) and it is getting rave reviews. Readers seem to really enjoy the Special Section on Therapy and Meditation. Now we are starting the editing of our January/February 2010 issue. The special topic of that issue is "Loving and Relating in Osho's Sangha," which promises to be very juicy. Make sure you don't miss it.
This past Sunday (November 1), we had satsang here in our house. Afterward several people mentioned that they wanted to know the "20 difficult things" that Osho spoke about in the quote that we played during satsang. So I am posting the list below. The discourse is from The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol. 2, Chapter 2. Enjoy!
THE BUDDHA SAID:
THERE ARE TWENTY DIFFICULT THINGS TO ATTAIN OR ACCOMPLISH IN THIS WORLD.
1. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE POOR TO PRACTISE CHARITY.
2. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE STRONG AND RICH TO OBSERVE THE WAY.
3. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISREGARD LIFE AND GO TO CERTAIN DEATH.
4. IT IS ONLY A FAVOURED FEW THAT GET AQUAINTED WITH A BUDDHIST SUTRA.
5. IT IS BY RARE OPPORTUNITY THAT A PERSON IS BORN IN THE AGE OF A BUDDHA.
6. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONQUER THE PASSIONS, TO SUPPRESS SELFISH DESIRES.
7. IT IS DIFFICULT NOT TO HANKER AFTER THAT WHICH IS AGREEABLE.
8. IT IS DIFFICULT NOT TO GET INTO A PASSION WHEN SLIGHTED.

18. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW THE STEPS OF A SAVIOUR.
