Byakuren's backstory is very interesting and she has very beautiful imagery associated with her. I love how saintly she seems, even though she is ultimately a dividing sort of figure

>As a buddhist, I dont think ZUN does a very good job of portraying her as an enlightened or at least post dharma person. I guess its because ZUN is not enlightened himself, so he cannot create that feeling of movement without moving.

/tg/ here. Would you mind elaborating on this? One of my bar-none favorite character archetypes is an enlightened monk style character, so I can't help but be interested in what you have to say on this subject

I must say that regardless of how Byakuren is portrayed canonically, though, I swear she gets by far the most beautiful pieces of artwork. Much like how Utsuho gets most of the coolest pieces of artwork, it seems like Byakuren gets the lion's share of things that just, for lack of a better word, awe me

>Unless a man take the Buddhist vows, he is expected to marry, and bring up a family.

Not all hope is lost yet, /jp/.
