摘要
In his book, Travel Like the Clouds and Water , Venerable Master Hsing Yun, who is one of the main proponents of Humanistic Buddhism,
instructs the viewers of his one-stroke calligraphy to look inside his heart and not just at the characters he uses in calligraphic writing. Considering that calligraphy is the highest form of East Asian art, anyone who is not familiar with its immense and complex body of theory and principles could find this simplistic instruction intimidating. How does one look beyond the cursive black lines
and forms of an ink artwork that appears to be unskillfully brushed on white paper? Can the core concepts and guiding principles of Humanistic Buddhism help one realize the altruistic meaning of a monk’s contemporary calligraphy? More importantly, can Humanistic Buddhist art inspire the awakening of bodhi in the viewer?
