The Search

The question remains -- what is life and where does the life energy come from; what is the source? An ancient Zen story symbolizes the search for the source of life. Zen master Kakuan's story of The Ten Bulls of Zen is a teaching that uses ten images, each representing a particular step on the journey of experiencing and understanding what it means to be a conscious and aware human being. Osho takes readers through this story, and its lessons for the traveler, on a journey into the inner world -- the space for meditation. But reaching the pure, uncluttered freedom of meditation is not the end of the journey. The circle is only complete when the seeker comes back into the marketplace of the world, but as a transformed person. The book is illustrated with ten original images of Gomizen's Ten Bulls of Zen.
