Demi

In this Zen Buddhist allegory, a young boy searches for his true self, represented by a missing ox. Once he finds it, he must tame and train the ox, which is a metaphor for the challenges of spiritual enlightenment. The boy's journey is also a metaphor for our own journey to self-discovery. Award-winning author Demi presents the story of the herd boy and his ox with all the simplicity and beauty of traditional Zen Buddhist art. An appendix provides additional information on the history and meaning of the oxherding pictures, as well as on the Zen branch of Buddhism
