Zhao Puchu was an accomplished Buddhist scholar, well versed in Buddhist texts and religious literature. In this work, Zhao only copied three quarters of Wang Anshi's Paean of Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels (Tune: The South Recalled). Written by the 79-year-old gentleman in 1985, the whole work conveys an imposing composure and scholarly elegance embodied in neatly written characters.
