0.jpg0. The Ten Oxherding Pictures 1673 viewsThe Ten Oxherding Pictures which relate back to a Ch'an master in the Sung dynasty China (1126-1279 AD), have spiritual roots in the early Buddhist texts. They provide useful imagery of an illusion to be negated before a seeker of truth can experience enlightenment. The ox symbolise the mind and the herder symbolises the seeker.
