December 8th is Bodhi Day.
It's the day to commemorate the enlightenment of Prince Siddhartha Gautama after meditating under the Pipal Tree for seven days and nights. On the eighth morning he realized the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eighfold Path. From that point forward, he became known as Buddha and Buddhism was born.
This spread is meant to focus on the elements of the Noble Eightfold Path in order help understand how a person can discipline themselves ethically and mentally to develop their wiser-self.
A good deck to try this spread with might be The Buddha Tarot.
Namu Amida Butsu!
Simply beautiful, Gayla!
Blessings,
