The Ten Oxherding Paintings: Zen Talks by Thich Phuoc Tinh

For the second time the dharma talks of Zen Master Thich Phuoc Tinh are available in English. These talks focus on the famous Ten Oxherding Paintings in the Zen tradition. The paintings which are symbolic of the spiritual journey depict the progress from the beginning of our meditation practice until we attain the fruit of enlightenment. In these talks we learn that when we begin to look for our true mind we are searching for something without realizing that it is within us already. These talks teach us how to recognize our own radiant awareness in the present moment. They also guide us through the paintings in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. The Venerable teaches us how to set our intentions and to keep the fire of determination burning until we achieve our goal.
