Choose a card for the day, and read the accompanying story as a theme for contemplation. Or use as simple spread to explore the dynamics of a relationship, or to gain insight into a specific question.60 beautiful cards illustrating parables and teaching stories form the world's great wisdom traditions-including Zen, Buddhism, Sufism, Tantra, Tao, Christian and Jewish mysticism.A book containing the parables, summary meanings for each card, the instructions for a variety of simple card readings to gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of everyday life.

 An alternative to "Angel cards" for people who like a little more depth, 2007-11-18
These are a great resource for spiritual teachings from multi-religion backgrounds. The paintings are inspirational and the stories a delight to read. I use them as a daily reminder to think outside the box.

 Has it's own charm, but..., 2006-10-30
These are not a full or typical tarot deck. stories relate to different ideas like "no-mind", "non-attachment",etc. the stories are nice and are illuminating reminders, and some of the cards are beautiful in their simplicity, but i don't think these cards can compare to the other set of osho tarot cards, which are strikingly beautiful and insightful. i would recommend the other osho tarot deck.

 Not the same as the original, 2006-07-25
Same great teaching stories, but different design and Osho's picture not on the first card like on the original deck. Seems like the deck was redesigned for mass consumption, and not just friends of Osho.
My friend, who used my original deck for years, however was so pleased to have her own copy that she didn't seem to mind the changes.

Great for inspiration, not "divination", 2005-12-28
I've owned this deck for five years and I have the Osho Zen Tarot also. I really like both of them, but anyone who owns the Osho Zen Tarot deck should know that this deck is much more difficult to "weave together" when laying out a spread for insight into a relationship. It is especially difficult (for me at least) to use the "choiceless awareness" layout. The interrelationship of the cards, which seems so easy to build with the Osho Zen Tarot, never seems to gel with these cards. For me, it is because the cards are representative of stories, not emotions or other states of being.
One of the ironies of this deck is that it hopes to inspire you to transformation, with that transformation being one of total immersion in the moment, with what is going on, with reality. Yet this deck, unlike the Osho Zen Tarot, does not speak to the user in the here and now--it seeks to draw you to where you can be, to transform you.
I gave the product four stars because the stories with their explanations *are* inspirational and useful. I have considered Osho one of the greatest, if not THE greatest spiritual teacher I have had over the past nine years, but when the usefulness of "throwing the cards" is removed from this product, it becomes "just" another one of Osho's books: highly inspirational, highly illuminating, highly useful, but not a present-oriented divinatory tool.

Quick insights that get better with time, 2005-09-12
Just reading the stories on the tarot cards reminds me of the possibilities of meditation and awareness. Even just glancing at a card during the day can shift my mindset. Great stuff.
