| In the twelfth century the Buddhist practice was put into pictures by a Chinese master named Kakuan. He drew a series of ten scenes — the oxherding pictures. |
The pictures we have used come from Songgwang-sa, Korea. They tell the story of a boy and his ox, but if we want to use these pictures as they were intended, we need to relate them to our own lives.
