About
- Zen teachers sometimes use the Ten Ox Herding Pictures to describe the path of awakening. Within this metaphorical framework, the ox symbolizes the secretive, unruly human mind.
- This weblog reflects my ongoing struggle with the ox. You can reach me (Barry Briggs) at oxherding [at] mac.com.
