According to Zen Buddhist tradition, the bull represents vitality, truth, and action. The bull is not tied with ropes. It must remain free and you must follow it. "The way of the bull" implies the steps we have to take in the search for enlightenment, the discovery of ourselves, and our true nature. Through his journeys to strange places and the magic they offer, when you are ready to accept it, Leo Buscaglia records his own quests for personal freedom. Following the "way of the bull," he came to realize that life itself is a journey, not a destination. 

"What does it matter if we reach somewhere?" In this tender philosophical book, with internal and external discoveries, Leo Buscaglia shares his own path with us, but with the constant reminder that it is his own journey and only leads back to himself. Each of us must find our own path to make the journey truly valuable. "The Way," says the author of this wonderful book, "is nothing more than an unfolding, an opening of the flower, since all the necessary things are already a part of ourselves and all we need to do is take care of the flower, be patient, and continue to mature."
