The Osho Zen Tarot
focuses on gaining an understanding of the here and now. It is a popular system
based on the wisdom of Zen, a wisdom that says events in the outer world simply
reflect our own thoughts and feelings, even though we ourselves might be unclear
about what those thoughts and feelings are. So it helps us turn our attention
away from outside events so we can find a new clarity of understanding about
what is happening in our own innermost hearts. The conditions and states of
mind portrayed by the contemporary images on the cards are all shown as being
essentially transitional and transformative. The text in the accompanying book
(there are 79 colour cards as well) helps to interpret and understanding the
images in the simple, straightforward and down to earth language of Zen.
Colourful cards,
depictions of psychological states, conundrums and ecstasies, everyday koans,
and life situations . . . This set has become a word-of-mouth bestseller.
