If, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, then Buddhism needed ten to present the breadth and depth of its philosophy.
The Way of the Buffalo is an ancient collection of images and verses that narrate the allegorical journey of a young boy in search of the lost buffalo. This classic story, which comes to us from the Chinese teachers of the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD), conveys the fundamental beliefs of the sages of Taoism (about the unexpressed Tao and the virtue Te), introduces us to the basic concepts and practices of the Zen masters (about emptiness, meditation, and Buddhist nature), and guides us on the spiritual path of inner search and practice for achieving enlightenment and freedom from the illusions of the world we call "reality".
