Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Scene 30, Oxherding Parable. Episodes 1-2. Baodingshan, Dazu.
The Oxherding Parable illustrates the process of enlightenment. As the herdsman gradually tames his ox, so the spiritual seeker tames his unruly mind by the practice of Zen. In Episode 1 (photo left), the herdsman and ox are in conflict; the ox wants to go in the wrong direction, but the herdsman pulls back forcefully on its rope to make it turn around. In Episode 2 (photo right), the herdsman entices the ox to turn around by offering sweet grass with his left hand and wielding a rod with his right; using "the carrot and the stick," as we would say. |
