To Express Own Internal Buddha Nature
Zen master didn’t seek Buddha nature outside themselves, but rather directly express the own internal Buddha nature onto the paper or silk by the Sumi ink.
Zen calligraphies and paintings are “ anti- art ”, those are not consciously created to be beautiful or decorative. It does’t rely on techniques. The true necessary skill in Zen calligraphy and paintings is fully express their thoughts and intended images onto a paper or silk. The skill which was acquired by long term training produced distinctive atmosphere, bold, exquisite, vigorous. That honed sense is attaining a higher dimension unlike standard painting skills.
Zen calligraphy and painting significantly alter your mind and the indoor atmosphere also clearing. It grabs everyone attention certainly.
