Throughout the centuries, the mystics and sages have used parables as a way to help us more easily remember and reflect on the deepest secrets in life. Osho is a master storyteller of our times, who has an uncommon knack for bringing the timeless wisdom of ancient parables right into the 21st century, in a way that gives us immediate and practical insight into the realities of contemporary life. The emphasis of the deck is not on prophecy or divination-rather, it directs us to the hidden potential of transformation and renewal in every aspect of our daily lives, if we only know where to look for it. Choose a card for the day, and read the accompanying story as a theme for contemplation. Or use a simple spread to explore the dynamics of a relationship, or to gain insight into a specific question. The boxed deck includes 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 is included containing the parables, summary meanings for each card, and the instructions for a variety of simple card readings to gain insight into the challenges and opportunities of everyday life. By Osho.
