これまで何回か目にしてきたが、周文の筆による、十牛図。

悟りに至る十の段階を、自己の象徴である牛を扱うことに見立てている。

I've seen it several times, but I've seen Jugyu-zu with a brush written by Shubun.

The ten stages of enlightenment are treated as dealing with the cow, the symbol of self.

夢窓国師に仕えて、その後、相国寺の第6世となった絶海中津が、足利義満のために書いたという、十牛頌。十牛図ついて十枚の紙に書いている。

義満は、坐禅をする度にこの十牛頌を壁にかけて、ついに禅の扇を極めたという。

Jyugyu-ko is a book written by Zekai Chusin, who became the sixth generation of Shokokuji after serving as a master of dream windows. He wrote about ten cows on ten sheets of paper.
