Riding the Bull Home
These prints are renditions of a larger group of paintings I made based on a reading of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Chogyam Trungpa’s commentary on the Oxherding Pictures. The Oxherding Pictures are a 12th century Chinese series of pictures and words depicting a spiritual journey leading to enlightenment. The translations and commentary by many contemporary teachers have kept them fresh as a guide to spiritual practice. Riding the Bull Home is the 6th or mid-station of the passage from beginning back to beginning. It was where I felt myself to be at the time.
