The venerable makes a raising-voice or beckoning gesture with an earnest look, possessing the sincerity of gathering by sound, converting through the Dharma-voice, liberating according to kind, drawing beings to the path through pure voice.\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.
