With no settled Sanskrit equivalent (possibly near the Cūḍa family), it is kept objectively as a transliteration, without forcing a spelling or inventing deeds. The venerable appears as an Indian monk with a still, quiet look, conveying only his pure holy life and silent meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted by Li Zongyi in the freehand Chinese ink (xieyi) tradition, the brushwork is fluent and the ink tones layered from dense to pale, capturing the arhat’s spirit in a few assured strokes. The blank paper itself breathes Zen; figure and spirit are one, blending monastic solemnity with the literati’s ease. Each of the Five Hundred Arhats bears its own name and practice, uniting faith, art and collectibility — an original, non-reproducible hand-painted work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: approx. 100×50cm (4.5 square chi) | Traditional hand-painted Chinese ink Zen Buddhist figure painting | On paper\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treascol Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410938675388,"sku":"TCArhats498","price":6900.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/6291\/0652\/files\/TCArhats498--100x50cm-4.5.jpg?v=1788611724","url":"https:\/\/treascol.com\/en-ca\/products\/500-arhats-498","provider":"Treasure Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
