Osho took the expression “the mustard seed” from the Bible, from Jesus.

Osho took the name Osho from Japan, from Zen. In Zen, the master was called Osho – Osho Rinzai, Osho Rengetsu.

How the fuck can the OIF claim copyrights for things Osho borrowed from other people?

I have gone through the available information on the net. It seems Ibrahim Youssef PhD is doing his pastor work without stealing or getting influenced by Osho, therefore to criticise him won´t be justified at all.

My God…What a joke!
He must be dragged to court for publishing Osho book though it is a free choice of every reader how to use the stuff.

Osho surely is a master of the masters. Many, many people will go on getting the kick-start to be tantra masters, yoga masters, or simply enlightened masters.

Power of words is immense!

A long way from Osho’s book! See below!!!

The Mustard Seed Counseling
Experience God’s Empowering Presence in Biblical Counseling
by Ibrahim Youssef, PhD

Synopsis
“‘Mustard Seed Counselling’ is a systemic appraisal of biblical counselling; the author’s easy style of writing is encouraging to those who feel a calling to counsel. Many people within the Church are hurting and they are trying to make sense of what is happening to them. The answer is biblical counselling, working with the Holy Spirit to bring wholeness. The work ‘Mustard Seed Counselling’ will encourage those who feel the call to counsel and have a desire to study and check their relationship with God.”
(Richard Dunkley, Storehouse Pentecostal Church, Dorchester, UK)
“‘Mustard Seed Counselling’ is an interesting model of counselling.” (Allison Pople, United Church, Dorchester, UK)
“‘Mustard Seed Counselling’ is very close to evangelism. I could not easily distinguish between the two.” (Patricia)

Say someone manufactures a new car named the ‘OSHO’.
It could have winged doors like a Delorean.
If the model caught on and sold well, would this be unhelpful to his “work”?

Dhanyam, is this new edition of ‘The Mustard Seed’ available at Amazon or High Street bookstores? In such situation, OIF can sue for copyright violations and ask for hefty royalty, or issue legal notice to book stores for illegal trade practices.

Simple fact is, Osho Foundation has the copyrights and it should be so for protecting commercial interests.

There seems to be a theme emerging where if the OIF pursue copyright infringement they are in the wrong and when it seems they have not they are also guilty.

How do you know that this mining company did not seek permission from the OIF to use Osho in the way they have?

(I emphasise ‘seek permission’, which none of the Osho DIY, have-a-go-heroes ever seem to do).

Ibrahim in Berkley, California, has just published a book with the title ‘The Mustard Seed’. Will OIF sue?

Yes, Osho Solar farm or maybe Osho Water Works (sea water transformation plant for drinking water)!

I think the operative person of this small dubious venture with big name is based in India. Because some of Resort-based people go through this website time to time, they should feel even those who oppose them feel it is important to send legal notice to such fly-by-night operators.
