Interview with Zen Master Osho Watanabe

Namaste Beautiful Yogis, 

I had a total blast doing this interview. Zen Master Osho Watanabe is so welcoming, kind, present and lovely that being in his presence really uplifts you! We talked about basic buddhism, zen buddhism, zazen meditation, Love, God, Jesus Christ, Buddha, the origin of Buddhism, Hindu Gods, life, death, karma, reincarnation, Shiva, non sectarian Buddhism, his opinion on UFOs, psychedelic drugs, a vegan diet, non violence, and so much more. 

You can read more about Osho on his website http://www.zenyoga.org/about_osho.html

We laughed and kept things deep yet light just the way Zen can be. I love the simplicity that a zen perspective can bring into things.

After the interview he showed me his Photography. He is an excellent photographer and musician. 

 Then we talked about sumo wrestling in Japan and bulgarian sumo wrestlers getting very popular there :)

I got some amazing gifts and oils from his shop. The monks and him make their own incense in the temple, all handmade and that's part of their karma yoga.

I am a total sucker for anything sandalwood, amber, vanilla, coconut and the "Special Sandalwood" is exactly that. Musky sweet resin-like bengal and mysore sandalwood, vanilla, amber, rose, coconut. 

AAAH!


There was so much wisdom spoken off camera that I am eager to go back and do a few follow up interviews. His non dogmatic, simple, wise, grounded approach to things is truly a rare gem.




I am off to do yoga now :)

LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO ALL 

NAMASTE
