| It is an Indonesian method which became immensely successful in the fifties in Europe and America. It never became successful in the East, because in the East – particularly in Indonesia, which is a backward country – there is nothing to cathart! The man who invented Latihan was Bapak Subuh – he called his philosophy subud. He has taken the word `Subud' from `Buddha', which means `the great awakening'. But Latihan cannot bring the great awakening. It became fashionable in the West and then disappeared completely, because it created many people who had to be put into mental asylums – for the simple reason that it has no stop built into the process... --Osho Sat Chit Anand, ch. 3 |
