Osho describes Gautama Buddha as the greatest breakthrough in the evolution of human consciousness because his discovery of meditation shifted the focus away from praying to a god toward meditation; toward becoming alert to the potential of each human being for godliness. The 52 cards in this deck comprise a thoughtful guide to understanding the Buddha’s important contribution to human enlightenment. 
 Each card contains a sutra, a commentary by Osho, and a beautiful image of a Buddha statue. Readers can first enjoy the words as poetry and allow them to evoke an intuitive, emotional response; they can then read Osho’s corresponding entry. A 53rd card, called Sammasati, represents the last word spoken by Buddha and an inspiring reminder of the readers’ own Buddhahood. Individual sutras include Only Love Dispels Hate, Beyond Judgments, Neither Praise nor Blame, Conquer Yourself, Beyond Sorrow, Awake Forever and Shining the Way. The app features the following: - All Cards - Sutra - Osho’s commentary on the Sutra - Discover the Buddha - Guide - Help - Share via Facebook and Twitter - Retina display enhanced - Save cards to favorites - Can be used off-line - Set your own notification time for daily readings

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Dancing Wu Wei at Free against Discover the Buddha's $2.99. Dancing Wu Wei also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Discover the Buddha's advantage is update cadence (every 11 months vs every 56 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
