Osho's Oh Noes

File under: Gurubusting

For a grab bag of some of the fallacies perpetrated by the late, famous Bhagwan Rajneesh, aka Osho, check out this list compiled by Osho debunker Christopher Calder:

Rajneesh once stated that one could produce a Buddha by having sexual intercourse with a woman for three hours straight, then nine months later out pops a Buddha baby due to the long and blissful copulation. Rajneesh stated this theory at a time when he had little experience with sex. In addition to the absurdity of his basic premise, Rajneesh did not understand that if sexual intercourse sessions last too long women tend to lose vaginal lubrication and men are subject to friction blisters.

Nobody said making baby Buddhas would be easy.
