Fully experience all your emotions

To practice Zen is to fully experience your emotions without pushing them away or being swept away by them. We should see our emotions like a wild bull that, while powerful, is neither good nor bad. Rather than remain ignorant of the bull, we look for it and aim to tame it.

The Ten-bulls story describes the journey each of us must go on towards conquering the self.
