? Every time I see Master Hongyi's words, I always feel solemn and my heart burns involuntarily. Master Hong Yi absorbed the spirit of Buddhism in his books, so that he could not achieve transcendence without skill and decoration, which is unique in the whole history of calligraphy. His works are simple and natural, without any affectation and affectation, like a bright moon hanging quietly in the sky, full of radiance and nourishing people's hearts.
I like the simplicity and dignity of Master Hongyi's writing, which is full of Zen. I once exhibited a paper and copied it. After reading it, I found that although the font looks similar, the smell always feels very different. I am annoyed by my clumsiness.
It was not until the end of 20 14 that this kind of trouble was alleviated. At that time, the fifth Zen Culture and Art Festival was held in Qianfota Temple. Master Rhine asked me to help prepare and arrange the "Thousand Buddhas Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition", some of which were created by a monk imitating Master Hongyi's handwriting. Although the brushwork is childish, the breath and charm coincide with Master Hongyi's handwriting. It suddenly dawned on me that learning Master Hongyi's words should not be copied from appearance skills, but from mentality. Master Hongyi, who takes books as the method and takes the heart as the warning, naturally has no anger in his writing. After he became a monk, his life was simple, and he recited scriptures and worshipped Buddha every day, which made it easier for him to fit in with Master Hongyi in his mind. And we ordinary people in troubled times are always struggling to survive in the binary opposition of length, competition, advantages and disadvantages, beauty and ugliness ... All the skills, methods, nouns and concepts we have learned in studying classics on weekdays are useless here, and even become obstacles. Master Hongyi's writing before and after becoming a monk is completely different, which is a true portrayal of gorgeous and calm.
Master Hongyi said at the opening ceremony of Nanputuo Buddhist Training Center in Xiamen: "I think the best writing or the best art is obtained from learning Buddhism. Only by learning from Buddhism can we achieve the best state. Therefore, if you study Buddhism in depth, your words will progress, you can learn Buddha very much, and your words can make great progress. "
? Yes, look at Master Hongyi's words, such as Buddhism. Walking away from China, it is quiet, simple, kind, natural, happy, sunny, without me, eliminating exquisiteness, without the binary opposition of beauty and ugliness, which is a vain spiritual display.

Ps: among my friends, many people will laugh at me: wine and meat wear intestines, and debauchery is constant, so what about Buddhism! There are also some friends who believe in Buddhism and will probably understand me. I sincerely admire the latter. Unable to understand the criticism of the former, full of guilt. When it comes to Buddhism, some people will feel superstitious, and they will be indignant and criticize some chaos in Buddhism. Some people think it is better to stay away from it than to be abstruse. Both of these concepts are wrong. Maybe I will talk about my superficial understanding of Buddhism in the future.
