Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Oxherding Parable. Scene 30, Episodes 4-5. 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 4 (left side of photo), the ox has been tamed but is beset with danger; the herdsman, his back to the viewer, climbs up to pull the ox down to safety. This represents freeing the mind from delusions. In Episode 5 (right side of photo), the ox follows willingly, with only a slack rope.
