On enjoying your work

Medieval Buddhist of the Day: This happy little groom, with a horse that belongs to the Recorder Shi Wangnian 典錄師王輦, from a stele of 523 in the Yaowangshan collection. Not sure if that is the rope he is using to hold the horse or smoke from some kind of a spliff.

Just kidding! There’s probably no way to tell whether the groom was also a Buddhist.
