The Ten Oxherding Pictures The protagonist of this poetic picture story, a boy herdsman, stands for none other than you. It is the very "I" that reads these lines through a pair of eyes, the subject of your life, the protagonist of that unique story that is yours. It is what thinks your thoughts, makes your plans, has your desires, and signs your checks: it is what was born of your parents and will die on your deathbed. This "I" is also the starting point of the Zen Buddhist quest. http://www.cs.sfu.ca/people/ResearchStaff/jamie/personal/10_Bulls/Title_Page.html Reviews Rating: Not yet Rated
