A Glimpse of Awakened Mind. Now What?
About this episode
The episode explores the heart of the oxherding pictures as a metaphor for spiritual maturation and commitment to the Zen path.
In this Wednesday Night Dharma Talk, offered during Upaya’s Spring Practice Period, Sensei Monshin and Hoshi Senko guide us through the heart of the oxherding pictures — the ancient Zen metaphor of spiritual maturation. Monshin frames the third and fourth paintings, seeing and catching the ox, as our commitment to the path. Why face the bull? What truly moves us toward such a challenging practice? Source
