(The bull of the real “Self” and the real bull herder is the symbol of the “Self”. The Jugyuzu is a story that a person catches a cow (the real “Self”), which guides him on the path leading to the enlightenment of Zen meditation. Cows are generally calm and gentle, however, when cows begin to lash out, they then become, out of control. Its nature is very similar to the human mind and thus represents, "the true self" The story of an initiatory journey that finds and captures the true "Self" and finds its own happiness.
