The combination of Buddhism and Tarot might seem strange at first, but the underlying archetypal pattern reveals stunning similarities. The story in the Tarot's major arcana parallels the story of Siddhartha's journey to enlightenment.

The Major Arcana has been interpreted by many as an allegorical description of the soul's journey to enlightenment, beginning with the naive Fool and culminating in the universal consciousness represented by the World card.

The Buddha Tarot is designed by artist Robert M Place, and includes a 79 card Tarot deck, organdy tarot bag and booklet exploring parallels between the tarot and Buddhism, the life of Buddha and card interpretations.
