Returning to the Source: The waters are blue, the mountains green, and the flowers a vivid red, yet the boy has transcended all manifestations of the transitory world. Verse: In returning to the fundamentals and going back to the source, I had to work so hard. Perhaps it would be better to be blind and deaf. Being in the hut, I do not see what is outside. The river flowing tranquilly, the flower simply being red. —Trans. Gen Sakamothttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/10-ten-verses-on-oxherding-dp363559.jpgThe Ten Ox-Herding Songs10. Entering the City: The boy appears as Hotei, a potbellied, bare-chested wanderer, the reincarnation of Miroku, the Buddha of the Future, whose presence brings Buddhahood to all sentient beings. By merging with Hotei, the herdboy reaches his final destination. Verse: He enters the city barefoot, with chest exposed. Covered in dust and ashes, smiling broadly. No need for the magic powers of the gods and immortals. Just let the dead tree bloom again. —Trans. Gen Sakamoto https://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/8-ten-verses-on-oxherding-dp363557.jpgThe Ten Ox-Herding Songs8. Both Boy and Ox Forgotten: Serene emptiness, a state of mind from which all desire has been eliminated, is symbolized by the image of the empty circle. Verse: Whip, rope, man, and ox, all are non-existent. The blue sky being vast, no message can be heard, Just as the snowflake cannot last in the flaming red furnace. After this state, one can join the ancient teachers. —Trans. Gen Sakamotohttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/7-ten-verses-on-oxherding-dp363556.jpgThe Ten Ox-Herding Songs7. The Ox Forgotten, the Boy Remains: Back home, the ox is no longer seen. The red sun is bright in the sky; the boy sits serenely, his whip and rope also forgotten. Verse: Riding on the ox, he has come home. There is no ox there, and he is at ease. Although the sun is high, he is still dreamy. The whip and rope abandoned in the thatched hut. —Trans. Gen Sakamotohttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/6-ten-verses-on-oxherding-dp363555.jpgThe Ten Ox-Herding Songs6. Returning Home: His mission is accomplished, and the boy's heart is full as he rides the ox homeward. Verse: Riding the bull, I leisurely wander toward home. Exotic flute melodies echo through sunset clouds. Each beat and each tune is indescribably profound. No words are needed for those who understand music. —Trans. Gen Sakamotohttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/4-ten-verses-on-oxherding-dp363553.jpgThe Ten Ox-Herding Songs4. Catching the Ox: The ox, which has been roaming in the wilderness, is wild and difficult to catch. With the energy of his whole being, the herdboy tries to subdue it. Verse: With all my energy, I seize the ox. His will is strong, and his power endless, and he cannot be tamed easily. Sometimes he charges to the high plateau. And there he stays, deep in the mist. —Trans.

Unable to climb up th steep cliffs, an old crane flies down at the height of autumn. Dai Benxiao (Chinese, 1621–1693) @ The Metropolitan Museum of Art https://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/6-clean-my-inkstone.jpgClean my InkstonePure and severe, the air suddenly turns harsh; across a thousand cliffs pines appear like shadows through the snow. I clean my inkstone not just to paint, but to reveal the images in my mind. The Song dynasty [960–1279] method of depicting snow has largely been lost to most contemporary [artist]. I've tried to imitate it, but don't know if I've caught it nor not. Painted by Dai Benxiao, Woodcutter of Mount Ying'e of Liyang [Anhui] by the ancient Pavilion for Pleasing One's Mind. Dai Benxiao (Chinese, 1621–1693) @ The Metropolitan Museum of Art https://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/4-pines-and-peaks.jpgPines and PeaksPines and peaks contend in fantastic appearance; A house sits on the steep cliff. Just as clouds shift from dark to light, everything keeps changing; Even the rainmaker cannot stop this. Only the Heavenly Citadel and Lotus Peaks [of Mount Huang] have this appearance, which is not something that can be captured by the man-made Six Principles [of painting]. I casually emulate their general likeness. Dai Benxiao (Chinese, 1621–1693) @ The Metropolitan Museum of Arthttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/3-waterfalls-brush.jpgWaterfalls BrushThe sound of waves swirls through the blue sky; as waterfalls brush against the dark green rocks. With a tranquil mind, I always come alone, listening carefully, I never feel satiated. Listening to the ethereal sounds and the heavenly wind cleanses away worldly thoughts. One should know that I, a rustic old man, have left traces of them in my paintings. Dai Benxiao (Chinese, 1621–1693) @ The Metropolitan Museum of Arthttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2-lofty-studio.jpgLofty StudioThe exquisite zither suddenly sounds mellow; the turbulent waterfall sounds particularly extraordinary. Whose hands can bring forth [music like] the timely rain? In a lofty studio I chant poetry to myself. This is the method that Zhonggui [Wu Zhen, 1280–1354] left us. I regret my painting is unable to resemble his, but it preserves his concept; it will do. Dai Benxiao (Chinese, 1621–1693) @ The Metropolitan Museum of Arthttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1-main-image.jpegIt is not necessary to limit oneself to one style. Dai BenxiaoRegarding [the officials] Gao [Tao] and Kui versus [the hermits] Chao [Fu] and Xu [You], Serving and withdrawing are essentially the same. While heaven’s bounty does indeed exist within the mountains, Each man has to follow his own will. The energy between heaven and earth circulates through the caves and valleys. Laughing to myself [I think], “Why don’t I use this old brush to penetrate them and show people!” Dai Benxiao (Chinese, 1621–1693) @ The Metropolitan Museum of

Monju appears as a youth in flowing robes, his hair worn long and loose; one of his attributes, a scepter, is placed casually on the ground before him. Although it is a decidedly carefree interpretation, the iconography seen here is consistent with works by painters affiliated with the Zen monastery Tōfukuji in Kyoto. The lion symbolises the wisdom, teachings of the Buddhas.https://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/img_0611.jpegYoung Man as the Bodhisattva Monju 見立文殊Komatsuken (Japanese) Japanese Edo period 1765 (Meiwa 2) Museum of Fine Arts, BostonYoung Man as the Bodhisattva Monju 見立文殊Komatsuken (Japanese) Japanese Edo period 1765 (Meiwa 2) Museum of Fine Arts, Bostonhttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/img_0609.jpegMonju, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, and Lion 文殊獅子図Yamaguchi Sekkei (Japanese, 1644 – 1732) Japanese Edo period https://collections.mfa.org/download/24938 Museum of Fine Arts, BostonMonju, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, and Lion 文殊獅子図Yamaguchi Sekkei (Japanese, 1644 – 1732) Japanese Edo period https://collections.mfa.org/download/24938 Museum of Fine Arts, Bostonhttps://buddhismnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/img_0607.jpegMonju, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom by Itō Jakuchū, second half of the 18th century.Monju, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom by Itō Jakuchū, second half of the 18th century.
