Harmony In Motion - Ten Ox Herding - Part 5 - Art Print / Framed Print.

Extensive practice, on top of practice. Yet, you continue to hit the wall that prevents you from reaching your true mind. But then finally, the moment arrives when that fear transforms into confidence. The once resistant tension is now in harmony with the flow. The rain stops falling and a beautiful rainbow is revealed.

About the Ten Ox Herding project

This project is a collaboration with my friend Shinji Asai. It is a surfer's search of the true nature of the mind, based on the story from "Ten Ox Herding".

Ten Bulls or Ten Ox Herding is a series of short poems and accompanying drawings used in the Zen tradition to describe the stages of a practitioner's progress toward enlightenment and her or his return to society to enact wisdom and compassion.

Shinji wrote the story in Japanese for each step:

牧牛
所有する欲望は 外なる世界に過ぎない
純粋とは 心の中に 息衝いている
大波を前にし 身を焦がすほどの緊張に
包まれると 内側を支配していた硬い殻に
裂け目ができた 雨がやみ 虹が現れる
葛藤は去り 調和が流れ始めた


and Tim Crowe translated it into English:

"So much practice and preparation, and yet the wall still prevents you from reaching your true mind. Then finally, the moment of turning fear into confidence arrives. Fear, at its very peak, is now in harmony with the flow. The rain creates a rainbow."

The Kanji and stamp is made by Shinji's brother Junichi Asai.

    Pray for Snow

    Beautiful! Nice heavy paper, nicely wrapped and perfect on arrival. We love Jonas’ art. This is our 4th print. We order the medium which fits perfectly in our 20 X16 frame and we change out the prints every few months. I would have one for every month if I could. We would advise getting it out of the cylinder promptly to avoid that stubborn roll. Let it Snow!
