Danmeiluo Batuo (Skt. Badra [of] Tamradvipa)

Danmeiluo Batuo (Skt. Badra [of] Tamradvipa)

1764

Stone carvings after original paintings by Guanxiu

Chinese, ca. 895

With flourishing crown and abundant chin, dressed like a laborer in the rice-field. When a Buddha recites hymns it behooves us all to listen to him. His eyes see far, he is free of all earthly passions. There he sits cross-legged on his jagged rock indifferent to mussel-shells and sea-hawks. He is finished with the business of moving his legs.
