Thanks for the new link and for posting the actual portrait, Claudemir.
Allen, thanks for your comments. I think you have a very good point about Chinese culture influencing Shen's portrait. My knowledge of Buddhism is very limited but from what I do know I feel there is a similarity between a personal intellectual journey where the mind focussed by being cleared of extraneous influence (as much as one is able to do that).
When I suggested that death was a chaos, what I meant was that the order of being alive, the recurring, predictable body processes of being alive, and the recurring daily activities etc. are lost to the unknown, to decomposition claiming your body.
