"Cuando hablo de Lao Tsé, es como si hablara de mí mismo. Mi Ser es totalmente uno con él. Cuando hablo de Lao Tsé es como si me estuviese mirando en un espejo, se refleja mi propia cara. Cuando hablo de Lao Tse estoy absolutamente con el. Incluso decir que estoy absolutamente con el no es verdad. Soy el, el es yo. Los historiadores tienen dudas acerca de su existencia. Yo no puedo dudar de su existencia porque, ¿como voy a dudar de mi propia existencia? En el momento en que yo fui posible, el fue verdadero para mi. Incluso si la Historia prueba que nunca existio, para mi no cambiaria nada. Debe de haber existido, porque yo existo. Yo soy la prueba."

Buda ha brindó innumerables enseñanzas a lo largo sus años de predicación. Estas tomaban la forma de sentencias breves (sutras) que dirigía a sus discípulos a fin de guiarlos en el Sendero. Estas enseñanzas fueron cuidadosamente retenidas en la memoria y escritas por sus discipulos. Despues del ingreso de Buda en el Nirvana, fueron compiladas por los monjes mas antiguos de la Orden a fin de que el mensaje se pudiese conservar y transmitir a las nuevas generaciones. De esas enseñanzas fueron seleccionadas 423 sentencias pronunciadas por Buda en unas 300 ocasiones. Luego, ordenadas y divididas en 26 capitulos. Asi es como ha tomado forma el sagrado Dhammapada que ha llegado hasta nuestros dias.

Aunque el Buda habló durante más de cuarenta años, se dice que declaró no haber pronunciado nunca una sola palabra. El sutra del diamante es uno de sus misteriosos sutras nunca pronunciados, considerado el mas preciado por millones de budistas. Se dice que hay gente que se ha iluminado simplemente oyendo este sutra. A veces un sutra puede parecer remoto y oscuro, pero tiene una atraccion tan magnetica que querras entenderlo. Con su sentido del humor habitual, Osho nos acerca a la magia de esta enseñanza a traves de historias, chistes y anecdotas, y lo transforma en algo vivo con lo que los buscadores de la verdad se puedan identificar.

Este libro significa una inversión radical del pensamiento ordinario sobre la búsqueda de la seguridad. El autor plantea la pregunta: ¿cómo vivir en un mundo de inseguridad? ¿en un mundo privado del consuelo de las tradicionales creencias religiosas? Y la respuesta la encuentra en la ley de la retrocesion: los seres humanos sufren y perecen debido a los esfuerzos mismos que hacen por no sufrir y por no perecer.Ya lo expuso Lao-tze, el viejo maestro del pensamiento paradojico. Quienes se justifican, no convencen. Para conocer la verdad hay que liberarse del conocimiento. Nada mas poderoso que el vacio.No es una filosofia del nihilismo sino al contrario: es una llamada a vivir el presente sin la ansiedad generada por el espejismo del tiempo y de la historia. Es una filosofia, evidentemente taoista, que enseña que la salvacion comienza cuando uno asume no hay "salvacion", y que la seguridad surge cuando uno asume su mas radical inseguridad.Escrito en estilo lucido y ameno, este libro de Alan Watts posee inagotable acutalidad en nuestra epoca de incertidumbre y crisis.
