Absolute Tao: Subtle is the Way to Love, Happiness and Truth

• Understand the Tao as Osho presents it: what the Tao actually is (beyond the conventional translations of 'way' or 'nature') — the specific quality of ultimate reality that Lao Tzu was pointing toward, how it relates to the comparable concepts in other traditions (the Brahman of Vedanta, the emptiness of Buddhism, the Godhead of Christian mysticism), and why Osho regards Lao Tzu as one of the most precise and honest articulators of the nature of the absolute
