The venerable holds his bowl at peace with a spare look, possessing the simplicity of alms-round, few desires and contentment, nourishing the body with the proper bowl to pursue the way.\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.
