The Ten Oxherding Pictures are a Zen illustration of the path to enlightenment …which is the eighth picture. Pictures nine and ten were added later, to represent the path of the Bodhisattva (skilled in the art of staying in-body after enlightenment).

These pictures depict the shift in identity between ones egoic self (the person), and ones true Self (the ox). The first picture represents a spiritual seeker. The second shows the seeker finding worldly evidence (like psychic phenomena). The third represents an Awakening (a powerful temporary enlightenment experience often involving a guru). After that there is the battle of the egoic self until the true Self is fully realized.
