Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aware Wolf Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Why would you think ox-herding pictures assumes a seperate self? Curious. Then what happens when the rug is pulled in picture 7 The Bull Transcended....? And picture 8 , the Zen circle where person and Ox merge into Emptiness. There's an excellent commentary on the ox herding pictures by Yamada. Samaneri Jayasara on her Youtube channel narrates the book. Quote Mention “If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.” ― The Buddha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Belief that there is a one who goes through stages is an illusion Lol. That's just the second stage. Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."
