A bodhisattva bearing a sutra scroll, drawn in gold on mulberry-purple paper, paired below with an aphorism in Korean beginning, 'A person lives by their habits.' The teaching — that thought, speech, and action become habit, habit becomes character, and character at last becomes destiny — is inscribed beside the compassionate image of the bodhisattva, reflecting the artist's abiding wish to join icon and precept.
