In Japanese educational reform life-long education is a key-concept. Education for children aims at promoting the ability of self-directed education and for adults it aims at creating local systems of life-long learning; but our education is not integrated as a whole. We shall define its key-concepts by a case study of self-directed education illustrated by the Ten Pictures of the Cow and the Shepherd, a Chinese and Japanese Zen Buddhist text for training monks, in use since the 12th century.<BR>The text tells us how to search one's true Self forgotten in busy idleness. Ten pictures suggest two self-training worlds for learners and leaders. The author utilizes mechanisms of the series of quatrains with seven Chinese ideograms in each line in an original way to express integrated self-directed education systematically. We can also analyze the structure of the quatrains by means of the different tones in which characters are pronouced in Chinese. Ten introductions explain the key-words of the first lines of each quatrain philosophically.<BR>Five symmetrical pairs in the morphological structure denote the curriculum, guidance and methodology of self-directed education with five steps of different knowing in a cycle. According to religious philosophy the last three stages mark the appearance of absolute Nothingness in the independent Buddhist world; but for our educational philosophy they signify the process of self-realization of creative freedom in terms of historical, natural and social freedom followed by equality and solidarity. The text, based on the integrated principles of the human rights, is a model of our life-long integrated self-directed education moving in a cycle where anyone always can join freely.
