We all carry within ourselves the potential to become a Buddha in our own right. This beautiful package, featuring 53 spectacular cards, mind-expanding sutras, and an accompanying guide are the keys to unlocking that power. They aid the process of awakening, of giving meaning and significance to our lives. Each gorgeous card features a photograph of a Buddha statue, a short quotation from the book known as the Dhammapada, and commentary on the sutra. Choose a card at the beginning of each week, and keep it with you always to refer to during the day to absorb its lessons. First, enjoy the words as poetry and allow them to evoke an intuitive, emotional response; with the help of the corresponding section in the book, the meaning will sink in. The enlightening sutras include: He Watches, He Is Clear; How Can You Quarrel?; Only Love Dispels Hate; Beyond Judgments; Neither Praise Nor Blame; Conquer Yourself; Beyond Sorrow; Awake Forever; and The Shining Way.

DISCOVER THE BUDDHA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buddha Discovery Deck: 53 Sutras and Meditation Cards to Create a Silent Space Within (Hardcover)
A wonderful introduction into a basic understanding of Buddha. The cards in this deck are great meditation tools - one for each week of the year. Osho brings a contemporary freshness and understanding to a special selection of sutras, taken from Buddha's main work THE DHAMMAPADA. I can recommend this title as a gift for the upcoming holiday season.

Bad introduction,
By Waruda (Kailua, Hawaii United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buddha Discovery Deck: 53 Sutras and Meditation Cards to Create a Silent Space Within (Hardcover)
The cards are nice but the first 34 pages which include the introduction, history of the Buddha and the Sutras leave much to be desired. I'm not arguing with what the author is saying, it is his method of delivery that I found to be a turn off. It approached pontification and reminded me of the religious dogma that is blindly accepted by too any in our prejudiced society. After reading a few pages, I put the book down very disappointed. I decided to give it another try because I didn't want to waste an opportunity to learn something but couldn't get through it. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I wouldn't even give it away, I guess it will sit on my shelf until I can find some way to use the cards.

BEAUTIFULLY INSPIRATIONAL,

This review is from: Buddha Discovery Deck: 53 Sutras and Meditation Cards to Create a Silent Space Within (Hardcover)
I love to use this deck - I draw a card to be my 'meditation'
for the week. Each card has a nice picture and a short inspirational phrase on the front. Then, on the back of the card is expanded text if I want more clarification on the inspirational phrase. And if I want more, there is a longer text for each card within the book. I don't see the book as a text to be read cover to cover, but rather as a support for the deck of cards. Enjoy this for years, and it makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in Buddha, Osho, enlightenment, peace, meditation and/or self-realization.
