The ten famous Zen paintings telling the story of a farmer’s search for his lost bull are an allegory for everyone’s search for enlightenment. In The Search Osho explores the deeper layers of meaning behind each picture.

In many traditions the tenth picture, showing the farmer returning to the marketplace with a bottle of wine, has been purposely omitted because the concept of celebration was not really understood. But for Osho this is a beautiful symbol of how we can only really celebrate life in the world once we are filled with inner richness. This is Osho’s vision: the New Man, whom he also calls Zorba the Buddha, whose feet are firmly on the ground, yet whose hands can touch the stars.

"We enter on a rare pilgrimage. The Ten Bulls of Zen are something unique in the history of human consciousness? The Ten Bulls of Zen have tried in a single effort to express the inexpressible."
