It is very difficult to express the process of enlightenment by means of words and languages. Especially because in Zen world the process of enlightenment is a transcendental process it is regarded as the supreme teaching based on the teaching without words and the transmission without scriptures. Fortunately in Song dynasty Ven. Bo-meng and Ven. Kwak-am described Mokwoodo and Sipwoodo with poem and painting respectively. Mokwoodo which is 10 kinds of paintings painted by Ven. Bo-meng described the process that a cowboy trained a wild black cow thar lost the cow-house and wandered from place to place. It is described the progress of practice that all black feature from head to tail makes white step by step although the black cow is contaminated by impure mind. By contrast, Ven. Kwak-am's Sipwoodo does not describe the contaminated black cow which changes into white one. It focuses on reovering the original true self, finding a human nature which is originally in it. Therefore it is not necessary to find the cow because it has never been lost. Through these two paintings it can be realized a difference between the self-feature before practice and the changed self-feature after practice. If we can compare the process of Soen practice with the process of consciousness from sub-consciousness in S. Freud's Psychoanalysis, A. Maslow said that everyone was born with instinctive needs, but it is induced to weak motives. It can be said that children become adults and that gradually strengthen self-consciousness and pursue self-realization. Like Sipwoodo shows the process of enlightenment it is very important to realize self-feature for oneself. Therefore, it is the nature of self-realization that human beings recognize instinctive needs, and get rid of attachment to it, and open mind.
