Mind/Body/Spirit

The perfect meditation kit, supporting a deep understanding of the essential teachings of the Buddha, from Osho, one of the most influential thinkers of our time. 'Try to hate somebody consciously and you will find it impossible. Either consciousness disappears, then you can hate; or if you are conscious, hate disappears. They can't exist together. Light and darkness cannot exist together – because darkness is nothing but the absence of light.' Osho 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.
