This book is based on "the Ten Ox-Herding Pictures of Zen", a classic of Zen literature from the 12th century. It counts among the fundamental and essential works of Zen Buddhism. The book portrays the spiritual path to realisation by means of a story, illustrated in picture and verse, of an ox-herder searching for his lost ox - his true self. Zen Master Zensho's invaluable annotations are an expression of his enlightened consciousness - exceptionally clear, readily understood and true-to-life. They are highly practical and a unique orientation aid on the path to self-realisation. These enlightening explanations give us a new opening to a clear understanding of the mystical meaning of the Ten Ox-herding Pictures of Zen.
