About The Book

WINNER OF THE 2022 SILVER COVR VISIONARY AWARD

Through vibrant artwork and Buddhist quotes, this deck offers ancient wisdom to help bring peace and balance to your busy life.



In the bustle of our everyday lives, it’s easy to be distracted by negativity and materialism. We forget that happiness and freedom are a state of mind and not a goal to be achieved. Based on the principles of Buddhism, Wisdom of the Buddha Mindfulness Deck reminds us that contentment, comfort, and joy are within our reach in every moment.

Matthew Smith’s artwork is both distinctive and soothing, and the accompanying guidebook offers deeper meditations inspired by ancient Buddhist texts to help you attain the mindfulness you seek. Peace, balance, and the potential for a life well-lived are within you—Wisdom of the Buddha Mindfulness Deck is here to help you find them.

About The Author

Photograph by Janet Becker

Matthew Smith was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1969, and moved to Hawaii in 1981. He graduated from the University of Hawaii in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in fine art and painting. Mathew has painted for as long as he can remember. His themes are varied, but the common thread throughout his work is a feeling of peace. Matthew paints inviting images he hopes will calm the racing mind. He says, “If my work can draw someone in and they can get lost in the piece and forget, even for an instant, then I have helped create a moment of peace. That is my aim.”
