[The Cow and You are Forgotten]
In Zen Buddhism this process is sometimes summarized in the ten-part Cow Searching Drawings (尋牛圖). It goes something like this:
- You search for the Cow.
- You spot the Cow's tracks.
- You see the Cow.
- You grab the Cow by its reins and mount it.
- You rear the Cow.
- You ride the Cow home.
- Your Cow is forgotten and you remain.
- The Cow and you are forgotten.
- You return to your original self.
- You become bodhi-sattva, head to the streets, and help others find the Way.
This is merely the super broad outline of a much deeper process. I have translated a significant portion of that deeper process and underlying logic in the writings contained [here].
Check them out, read them over, think and then ask questions, because questioning is the piety of thought. Peace.
