CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY

Noble Manner

Artist: H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

The two Chinese characters in this work of calligraphy mean “Noble Manner.” They manifest a calligraphic style that is different from other styles in the world. The artist created this work of calligraphy free of any mental attachment or artificiality and without any pre-existing calligraphic plan or intent. His writing hand was unfettered, and his heart was free. All movements of the brush were spontaneous. A natural charm that springs from childlike innocence were attained. This type of impromptu wielding of the brush can be described as the cursive writing style of a child. The term “Noble Manner” means that one should have an elevated and broad manner, an all-inclusive magnanimity. We should let others, rather than ourselves, have that which is beneficial so that we may attain a noble moral character, and we should cultivate a mentality of non-attachment in order to develop our virtue.

學識為書之棟樑，書之基石；德為書之格調，書之神韻，故書法必具雙胞學體。H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的書法，脫俗無華，格高境妙。時而龍蛇走筆，轉鋒又童心天趣，平中見奇，飄逸自如，渾厚華滋。行墨連綿，氣韻暢達，字勢或雄渾矯健如龍躍天門，虎臥鳳闕；或清新和雅如浮雲飄冉，鶴翔松間；或樸拙率真，孩心無執。脫盡輕鮮煙火之氣，收斂內含，俗染浮雜已然蕩盡！正是『天質自然，韻達性海，故柔中見剛，華而清奇。』
