Listed among the five hundred arhats, it signifies rescue and deliverance, leading beings beyond birth and death. With no settled Sanskrit equivalent, it is kept objectively by the sense of 'rescuing and delivering', without forcing a transliteration or inventing deeds. The venerable makes a delivering gesture with a kindly look, conveying only rescue of beings and leading them beyond the sea of suffering.\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":47410938609852,"sku":"TCArhats496","price":6900.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/6291\/0652\/files\/TCArhats496--100x50cm-4.5.jpg?v=1788611725","url":"https:\/\/treascol.com\/en\/products\/500-arhats-496","provider":"Treasure Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
