## Atisha: 7-doors to Meditation: Osho Meditation Retreat

Osho Nirvana is delighted to invite you to this deep inner exploration and meditation retreat with Videha.

Based on “The Book of Wisdom”, Osho’s commentary on Atisha teaching “Seven Points of Mind Training”

These ‘Seven Points of Mind Training’ are the fundamental teaching that Atisha gave to Tibet. They are of immense value. They are the whole of religion condensed. They are like seeds, but they contain the infinite. The moment you move into the statements deeply, when you contemplate and meditate and start experimenting with them, you will be surprised, you will be going into the greatest adventure of your life…

“…Meditate on Atisha, listen to His advice; they are of immense value. It is not a philosophy, it is a manual to discipline yourself, it is a manual of inner transformation. …These sutras are golden. Keep them in your heart; they will nourish you, they will strengthen you, they will transform you. … It is the teaching that can help you grow into Wisdom.” Osho
