I have started this thread up for the study group because as much as there are many reasons why the readers of the 'Buddha Tarot' love the deck, there are the odd niggles that I thought should be brought up and hopefully, overcome with time, when discussed.
For me, it starts with the courts. I just find them hard to read because they look so alike. For example, in other decks, they look different and have different personalities, but here the buddha's of the four directions seem pretty alike, not only in looks.
I also find there to be little diversity in a lot of the minors. They do not seem to tell a story chronologically like some scenic-illustrated decks but do not have the simplicity for interpretation that a Marseille deck might have, for example, because there is meaning in the small picture at the bottom.
I can't fault the majors, however.
So, hopefully this will start a discussion and also rectify some of our problems with the deck.
