The Osho Zen Tarot

‘When you can play with the moon and stars, when you can dance - then there is no problem. Then there is no fight with the body. Then the body is a place for relaxation. When you get tired you can return inside and rest. Then there is no enmity with thebody either. Then the body is a temple.’ Osho

The traditional tarot is often used to satisfy our longing to understand the past, or to predict the future. This Osho Zen Tarot focuses on gaining an understanding of the here and now. It is a 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. This tarot helps us to turn our attention away from outside events so we find a new clarity of understanding about what is happening in our innermost hearts.

The images on the cards in this boxed set are thoroughly contemporary; medieval symbols have been discarded and replaced with modern paintings that even the inexperienced user will be able to relate to. The accompanying text comes from Osho’s talks on Zen, and helps the reader to understand that all the conditions and states of mind shown on the cards are essentially transitional -- and if we can just take a look and see things as they are, that very seeing can transform them.
