"description": "Hotei is a semilegendary figure who may have lived from the late 800s to the early 900s. He later became prominent in Chan (or Zen, in Japanese) Buddhist literature. He epitomizes the freewheeling figure outside the mainstream monastic system\u2014in which people strive for enlightenment through prescribed methods\u2014who nonetheless attains a high level of spiritual awakening. The inscription warns against seeking enlightenment by conscious effort:
Big stomach, gaping garment,
Treasures gathered deep in the bottom of his bag,
Passing through the sky is another road,
Do not seek that to which his fingertip points.",
