PICTURE herd.      The buffalo does not only appear in the literature, but also in the case appeared in the painting even more. The "CROSS SECTION MAP ox" is ten buffalo paintings. Ten paintings borrowed continuous image to a shepherd and a buffalo herd to talk about " technical training of the mind "of the Buddha.      According to Buddhist scriptures, the introduction of competition dynasty, under the brush and who is the author hardly been searching for exactly. He himself Chau Hoang Van The Ming Dynasty in China, in the preface to the ten also said that painting is not clear due to competition with a hand or not? It is certainly very ancient paintings, original theory that includes 4 sets, with different theories for the past 5 or 6, but the volatile ups and downs should always lost.       Ministry earliest paintings found Legend of the teacher is Guo Am (Kakuan or Kuoan Shihyuan, 1100-1200, also commonly known as Master Gain Am Far) Chinese, born in the Song Dynasty XII century. Zen is based on the old argument of prokaryotic and buffalo painting 10 paintings, borrowed the symbol of the buffalo in Taoism, and post and comment at the proceedings in prose. The picture of his pure meditation, deeper picture of the predecessors and from there became profoundly inspired later generations to adapt that draw more other paintings.      Oct child Buffalo expression for the sequential steps in the realization of the future (ie real property, or the Buddha). The paintings are found in collections of paintings Chau Van Japanese artist in 1460 but it is only a copy, not the original show.      Guo Am The teacher said: "Sources foot Buddhas, sentient beings who Who also available, Buddha's foot comes beings, it also comes true. Because they forget (love) power vacuum in the three worlds to damnation. If realized, getting pins available resources where they are quickly escape samsara. Therefore, the new Buddha receiving a power vacuum that was created Buddha and sentient beings in the three worlds should go now. "This is the Third World is three realms: the realm Education, Sac realm and formless realm. All beings in the three realms are within samsara.      Since then more and more new picture sets or color, or black and white, began to appear in the old place of beauty, monasteries, and the This painting also reflects many different trends in the practice, inconsistency dryly, that the creative flexibility, depending on the transmission of grace. Such is not the only one, that's a lot of " the ox map "different, all watered spirit of Mahayana Buddhism. In the present painting was handed the most popular teacher Guo Am paintings and religious painter Thanh Residential brown shirt. Two of these paintings is superior in legal writing and syntax.      Painting "Cross Section Taurus Toys" unknown was introduced into our country from time to time. In his history of Vietnamese Buddhism











Malethat is not to mention the teacher or lay any reminders to ten paintings. But from the reign of King Le Du Tong (1706-1729) and Cuong Trinh Quang Tri has developed teacher training "Cross Section Taurus Toys commentary" Letter to the King of Han evaluation. Episode commentaries were written back when Tu Duc (1847-1883) Nguyen.      Though there are many forms of competition, but for the public as well as of the public, each has 10 images, each image has a procedure in Four great poet and a prose commentary for the picture and verse. As for the competitive spirit but there are many, but can be classified into two categories: Mahayana and Zen Buddhism.      kind paintings on Mahayana tendencies render enlightenment process, from order wins his instincts, to self-consciousness and finally reached in order. Type the tendency Zen paintings depicting spiritual experimentation process with three phases: false consciousness perceives the mind, heart and mind normally indifferent. In each category, different paintings all together, but all legal and commentary for each type remains unchanged.      shepherd image symbolizes the body, for meditation, for the position, generally for the of the Buddha. The buffalo symbolizes the sentient mind, this mind is the mind of delusion, by discrimination, full of sorrow, delusion and desire. These students get authentic teachings of the Buddha to treat the delusions and desires are the same as the shepherds full of wild buffalo hide them so!      Buddha did not consider them as buffalo born. Buddhist scriptures say that the buffalo is said to si fool nature, very place where every sentient species only. Effect of Buddhism is "to censor", so he is a shepherd, or a skillful charioteer, brought beings to peace stronghold of liberation.      has also taught in Business: "Just because the wind was blowing scene making the big waves emerge. "Water with waves but different but just one of them. However, if water is usually smooth sailing down the river carrying the raging waves could do capsize. The mental discipline required to observe changes that show excellent color correctly; does not accept voice heard, not rotten pineapple and irreversible a bitter sweet, rough or smooth also a slim body. When the rope herd discipline is persistence. Whip is tough wills. The buffalo do for a long time passionate in his realm, which is contaminated by a first-year education major black. Year sexual desire is the first year to the five senses is like looking at beautiful looks, sweet love to hear flattery, like fragrant smell, like to eat delicious food ... Later the white buffalo because this is the true color of the sky was the early buffalo.      When training the mind do not forget the exhortation: "Outside the coast stop, inside the end of hope. Control the look of the eyes, the hearing of the ear, the nose, the smell, the taste of the tongue.










Handthe vacuum, making way for years, each of its roots back to the first year of pure spirit, mind, soul, beats, attention, everything stays at its place. During the day, when the eyes also need insight line of bull run, ears listening whereabouts buffalo. Until the movements, concepts are not separate concepts buffalo away. Lying, sitting, walking, standing buffalo are to focus on this. Not for a moment does not shine on. Whatever is left loose range. Spirit must generate new optical recording, after not before leaving, always contemplating here as kids, so feel free to think. "
     To compare the two sets of pictures of the two trends, we see images of the copper difference. In Mahayana, the shepherds were older, mature, rigid limbs, while the Zen is just a shepherd boy buffalo head to the tip, the tip of immaturity. Image buffalo also different. The buffalo Mahayana parties themselves burned black and white gradually until completely white. The buffalo parties Zen is before after only a blackened color, big chunky.
