Anyone familiar with the Taoist "10 Ox Pictures". Used by Taoists to represent Path to Enlightenment. But many Westerners seem to think there is no "evil" or darkness within to control. What would the Ox represent then. And why do the pictures change from a black ox to a white ox?

"The mind of the sage considers spiritual, material, and all things as One {mind, body, spirit}. He makes no distinction between differences in people. All living things share the same Force. There is no one he wishes harm too, or refuses to aid. Everyone originally is like this." Wang Shouren.

Anyone ever been to White Deer Grotto Academy? Zhu Xi (1130-1200) is it's most famous sage. "Tell the truth, be respectful, and do not let anger or desire control you, using empathy to accomplish this, and to guide you towards higher states of self-growth." archive.sacred-texts.com/cfu/spc/spc0...

The Seeker who stays the Path (Truth) has removed the dust from his eyes and the plugs from his ears. He considers his happening upon wealth, honor, poverty, attainment, loss, love, and aversion/desires, as clouds passing by in a windstorm, or ashes from a fire. Ming Confucian, Wang Yang-ming.

"Currently, truth and virtue are tied to published scholars, whose goals are tied to wealth and fame. The man of true virtue does what is right because it is right, with no thought of reward; what he says or writes is true, and cares less about fame or honor." Shouren Wang (15th Century Confucian)

"Differences in mystical texts are different cultural interpretations of a universal experience", but where Freud claims we are just re-experiencing our joys as infants w/o language and unable to express the "I" and instead have a feeling of One w/the Universe. www.samwoolfe.com/2018/01/sigm...

"Selfishness should not be cherished in one's breast, for its presence engenders pride. The many good characteristics of sages of ancient times were due to a selfless mind. Being selfless they were naturally humble. Humility is the foundation of all virtue; pride the chief of vices." Wang Shouren.

"The person who obtains wealth, honor, poverty, humble position, attainment, loss, love, and aversion, realizing they are nothing more than passing clouds in the sky, accepts the greatness of the Path which remains complete even in change, and embraces all." Stoic Wisdom--not really, Wang Shouren
