Osho Zen Tarot

The Osho Zen Tarot focuses on gaining an understanding of the here and now. It is based on Zen wisdon that says events in the outer world simly releft our thoughts and feelings, even though we ourselves might be unclear about what those thoughts and feelings are. It helps us to 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.
