Book Description
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.
Buddha Discovery Deck: 53 Sutras and Meditation Cards to Create a Silent Space Within FROM THE PUBLISHER
For centuries the teachings of the Buddha have been passed down from one generation to the next in a poetic form known in the East as sutras—the smallest possible number of words packed with the greatest possible meaning. Once the meaning is understood, just reading the words of the sutra can provoke a profound sense of peace and relaxation.
This boxed set of cards and book can be used as a daily meditation tool. A different card is chosen from the deck each day, and carried or displayed where the user can refer to it often. The front of each card contains a photo of a Buddha statue, and the words of a sutra from the collection of Buddha teachings known as the Dhammapada. The back of the card carries Osho's insightful and contemporary commentary, unfolding the telegraphic message of the sutra in a language that can be understood today.
The book further explains the origins of these essential teachings of the Buddha, and supports a deeper understanding that will help the reader gain the most benefit from using the cards.
