The ten bulls or ox-herding pictures are a zen kōan illustrating the stages of prayerful meditation on the path to enlightenment. They enchanted me when I first learned of them, and years later I’ve made them the subject of a photoart and poetry project. These are the poems so far:
- In search of the bull
- Discovering the footprints
- First sight of the bull
- Catching the bull
- Taming the bull
