H.H.第三世多杰羌佛書法- 華宮日月麗陽天 喜乘西風六月閑 故朋來從叭聲望 始知暑氣已冬殘
From ancient times to the present, no product of an art or field of study has been able to reflect a person’s moral character and knowledge---except for calligraphy. The aura created by a person’s achievements or creations in a certain form of art or field of study often covers up his shortcomings in knowledge and character. However, calligraphy is an exception to this rule. Calligraphy is like a three-dimensional projecting mirror. The depth of one’s knowledge, the level of one’s moral character, and the strength of one’s mind are revealed through each stroke of the brush. There is no way to conceal such things. When looking at the quality of a person’s ordinary writing of Chinese characters, most people can discern the level of that person’s education. This is all the more true with respect to looking at a person’s calligraphy.
One cannot find in any history book an unknowledgeable person who has made a contribution to calligraphy. Those with profound and extensive knowledge are not necessarily proficient in calligraphy. However, a great calligrapher must have both knowledge and good brushwork. Without exception, all of the famous calligraphers throughout the generations were great masters of literature who had profound knowledge. Examples of this include ancient calligraphers such as Xizhi Wang, Su Huai, Shaoji He, Huaiguan Zhang, and Fei Yue. A modern example is Youren Yu. Each one of them was an extremely learned literary giant and paragon of virtue.
Knowledge is the pillar and cornerstone of calligraphy. Moral character can be seen in the style and charm of calligraphy. Thus, calligraphy requires both knowledge and moral character.
The calligraphy of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is not bound by worldly conventions and is devoid of unnecessary flamboyance. It is highly refined and based upon ingenious artistic conception. His Holiness’s strokes are sometimes written in a swift curling style. However, in an instant, His Holiness can express the innocent and natural charm of a child. There is wonder in even common strokes. His calligraphy is naturally graceful, exhibiting depth and brilliance. The calligraphy of His Holiness contains an invisible force that makes the characters seem much grander than they appear on a superficial level. His strokes look harmoniously smooth and unbroken. The Chinese characters may appear strong and vigorous, like a soaring dragon or mighty tiger. They may appear clear and gently elegant, like slowly floating clouds, cranes flying among pine trees, or dancing swans. They may appear simple and unadorned, like the free heart of a child. They are gracefully understated and completely devoid of any mundane quality. The calligraphy of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is natural in quality and resonates with the true nature of the universe. A deep power underlies His Holiness’s strokes.

H.H.第三世多杰羌佛深居古寺，卻以超凡的證量，發抒情懷，闡顯寺廟雖一室之間卻為孤隱清高，超凡脫俗，但卻樂盡無窮豪華天籟，故吟曰：『華宮日月麗陽天』統率日月之天地，而會之人間福盛，一句 『喜乘西風六月閒』 點出了在夏日炎炎卻迎納清浴，乘駕佛陀西風之涼風沐體，心境無遷，閒於寂靜，放展宇宙，輕安極樂，人我兩忘，故友來臨亦聞叭聲所得，已與世超然，清淨無為，H.H.第三世多杰羌佛不記時日，應無所住，而世外人卻茫然牽掛，登車奔馬告訴H.H.第三世多杰羌佛，已經不是夏天了，冬天都快完了，古佛心有會意卻莞爾一笑。由此境界，我們可見H.H.第三世多杰羌佛之書法如何脫盡人間煙火之氣，是真正的佛陀之書啊！
