Many so-called acts of compassion, he says, are tainted by a subtle sense of self-importance and desire for recognition. Others are based in the desire not really to help others but to force them to change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing stories from the lives of Jesus and Buddha and the world of Zen, Osho shows how the path to authentic compassion arises from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself. Only then, says Osho, does compassion flower into a healing force, rooted in the unconditional acceptance of the other as he or she is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOsho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the \u003ci\u003eSunday Times \u003c\/i\u003eof London as one of the \"1000 Makers of the 20th Century\" and by \u003ci\u003eSunday Mid-Day\u003c\/i\u003e (India) as one of the ten people--along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha--who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Osho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312365683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312365684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Osho","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913659089151,"sku":"9780312365684","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_938db3ea-846f-47e7-beb6-284eff5e9aca.jpg?v=1680621594","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/compassion-with-dvd-osho-9780312365684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
