Lin McNulty and artist Gayan Sylvie Winter created the Buddha cards as a "mindfulness tool for guidance, focus and inspiration." These small cards are not designed for elaborate readings, but as gentle reminders to tune into a particular energy in the moment. Each Buddha card shows a figure, often in mediation, and a keyword meaning in English and Sanskrit. There are 60 cards with 12 unique images. Each image is repeated on 5 different cards, but with changing keywords. In the instruction booklet, McNulty suggests different ways to use the cards, for example, keeping a bowl of the cards by the door to draw from as you leave each day.
