10-ox Paintings of Cheonju-sa on Gyeongju's Danseok-san photographed in September 1998 |
#1, 2 & 3 of the "10 Ox Pictures" (a famous instructional artwork of Seon [Zen, Meditational] Buddhism originating in Sung-Dynasty China) painted around the outside of the Main Hall -- quite typical. |
#4 -- unusually graphic |
#5 |
#6 |
#7 and #8 |
#9 |
#10 -- quite unusual and non-traditional, really, as the now-enlightened monk is shown in tattered clothing (sign of a sincere deep-mountain monk), dancing in joy (at his enlightenment, we can presume) -- perhaps suggesting the famous story of Wonhyo-daesa's awakening. |
