Osho and Osho Meditations | Osho Rajneesh was an Indian Mystic and Rajyo and Britta’s Spiritual teacher for many years.

Both Britta and Rajyo have been his students for several years and are very grateful for all the teachings and blessings they received from him.

Rajyo is grateful to the Dalai Lama as a spiritual world leader who is an example of living according to the spiritual principles of mindfulness, loving kindness, compassion, the equality of all living beings and the awareness of our interdependence. He is the leader of the Tibetan people, and in his words: “My religion is Kindness”
The invasion and occupation of Tibet is one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. As Richard Gere said, "The Tibetans actuality have the outrageousness to have the ideals and ethics of peace infused into every fabric of their society." For this reason, the brutal abuse of human rights that Tibetan people are enduring is such an intolerable injustice.

Britta is personally grateful to the Sisters of Mercy at the Mercy Center in Burlingham, CA, for their loving service to anyone who enters through their doors, and their dedicated devotion to the true message of Christ, to love one another.
