Is this a right explanation of phenomena of enlightenment by Osho?

Some months back I had written a comment (*not able to find it atm*) to a post in BSE which resonated with the following explanation of Enlightenment by Osho, that ' *Enlightenment is consciousness conscious of itself* '. But it was not taken well. The following is taken from his book, The Last Testament. I am very much in tune with this particular explanation and my practice also more or less depends on this. I just want to know is this accepted by any branch of Buddhism, whether Theravada, Mahayana or Vajrayana. > First, watch your actions of the body. > > Second, watch your actions of the mind: thoughts, imaginations. > > Third, watch your actions of the heart: feelings, love, hate, moods, sadness, happiness. > And if you can succeed in watching all these three, and as your witnessing grows deeper and deeper, a moment comes that there is only witnessing but nothing to witness. > > The mind is empty, the heart is empty, the body is relaxed. **In that moment happens something like a quantum leap. Your whole witnessing jumps upon itself. It witnesses itself, because there is nothing else to witness. And this is the revolution which I call enlightenment, self-realization.** Or you can give it any name, but this is the ultimate experience of bliss. You cannot go beyond it. ****Please no personal attacks on Osho, I consider him as a genuine enlightened master.***
