"The master caught the cow in the distance"
Zen master "Kakuan Shion" is famous for drawing "The figure of ten cows". "Catching the cow" is the fourth of the ten steps. It's a state of hard work to catch the cow by force.I placed the verse from Kakuan around my picture
竭盡精神獲得渠 心強力荘卆難除
有時纔到高原上 又入煙雲深處居
I tried desperately to catch the cow.
His heart was tough and very strong,so I could not remove that power immediately.
Once he barely arrived at a plateau.
And he lived in deep fog and clouds again.
