Dharma Cards: A Meditation Kit on the Teachings of the Buddha

Dharma Cards: A Meditation Kit on the Teachings of the Buddha by Priya Hemenway. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781402759529.

This beautifully designed set offers a simple approach to meditation, as well as an enjoyable way to learn about one of the world’s great masters. Based on Gautama Buddha’s Dhammapada or Way of Truth, the kit includes not only 36 illustrated cards inscribed with the Buddha’s wisdom, but also an illuminating guidebook; together, they’ll help create spiritual harmony in your life. The guide provides an introduction to the Buddha: his birth, search, enlightenment, Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and much more. It also features information to help you interpret the cards, along with in-depth, individual readings of their text. As you go through the cards, you’ll begin to reflect on the questions all meditators ask—about awareness, distractions, serenity—and find encouragement when you feel disheartened.
