The tarot can be approached as a ''book of life'', and the explanatory book aims to enable anyone to read the cards. The images are simpler than the more obscure symbolism of traditional tarot, which needs a ''reader'' to interpret. The book explains how best to work with the energy of the cards, and includes Zen anecdotes and stories by Osho to illuminate the essential of each card, and to help even those who are unfamiliar with the teachings of Zen to understand their meanings.
