Higher Perspective - Ten Ox Herding - Part 9 - Art Print / Framed Print.

The world is the same as it was before you embarked on the journey. Flowers are still as colourful, the ocean remains blue, and waves continue to break beautifully. The reality is that it was there all along, only now you can see it so perfectly. You have become a part of what you see before you.

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:

返本還源
真実は何も変わっていない
そう気づくまでに 多くの時を 旅に費やした
花は色づき 海は青く 波は美しくブレークしている
目の前に広がるこの 風景は 幻だろうか
長く続いた試練の道は幻だったのか
否 真実と幻は共にあり 今真実を見る


and Tim Crowe translated it into English:

"The world is the same as it was before your journey. Flowers are as colourful, the ocean shines blue, and waves break beautifully. In reality, it was always there, only now you see it so perfectly. For you have become a part of it."

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

    The prints are gorgeous

    The print's quality is truly remarkable. The choice of paper for the print is commendable - it imparts a lovely matte finish and makes the colors pop impressively. Please note that the photo was taken at night, so the colors are even more vibrant in the daylight. The packaging was done with great care, ensuring that everything arrived in perfect condition.
