The Venerable Calgary sat on the chair with his golden arm bracelet. Behind him was the gorgeous house which symbolized the rich family. The waiters and disciples were listening to him. In the distance, the continuous auspicious clouds hover in the forest, and the Han style pagodas and temples can be seen faintly. The continuous patterned clouds in the air are common in Tibetan Thangka. At the bottom, the Venerable Varnavas, with his right hand tied with a mark of time, and his left hand holding a brush, looked up at the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in front of him. His relatives around him either fed white rabbits or took a nap, which was a peaceful and peaceful secular life.
