Zen 1, a Buddhist disciple of Guangji Temple in Beijing and Pushou Temple in Wutai Mountain. Formerly known as Zi Zhou, he claimed to be an incompetent master, a Buddhist painter and an old cow in Yantian. China painter and calligrapher.
Zen painting is the flower of the soul, the local scenery, the symbol of the world, the convenience of hard training, the transcendence and liberation of the two methods by six causes, such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the combination of Taoist practitioners' realm kung fu and methods.
Zen Yi's paintings are simple, solemn, mysterious and harmonious, with fixed lines and no stagnation, escaping without drifting, simple and far-reaching themes and straightforward freehand brushwork. From the painting of Zen One, we realize that the correlation between Zen painting and Zen epiphany and cultivation is the reason why Zen painting is Zen painting. Zen takes Manjusri Prajna as the core and Pu Xian's wish as the foundation; The great wisdom of Zen painters is "Manjusri Prajna", and the brush and ink technique is "Pu Xian Wish".
Zen painting is based on great wisdom, relying on superb pen and ink skills, and following the great realm of Zen's nowhere to live to complete the integration and transcendence of pen and ink techniques. As a way of meditation, Zen painters understand between pen and ink and melt their hearts in stippling. While expressing Zen ink to wash the soul and transform itself, it also embodies the insight and spiritual realm of Zen painters. Therefore, Zen painting is a great product of the perfect integration and transcendence of kung fu and realm.
If all the brush and ink, techniques and configurations belong to the category of "promising method" in calligraphy and painting, then Zen painting has all the "promising methods", but it goes beyond it, does not stick to the method, and shows randomly changing lines and stippling. Realize the real "doing nothing without doing anything." This requires the author to express the purity of Zen painting with the "heart" and "promising" pen and ink techniques of enlightened wisdom.
Zen takes "law" as a circle and "impossibility" as nature, which skillfully shows that "law is impossible and law is impossible to learn". This also provides a new reference for the study of calligraphy and painting. First of all, we must bite the "promising method" of all calligraphy and painting and make the kung fu perfect and thorough; On the other hand, we should constantly purify our original mind, return to "unintentional use", melt "dharma" with "unintentional use", and then write and draw with "unintentional use".
Zen Yi's paintings don't stick to fixed procedures, but pay more attention to "vividness" and "intention", all of which are based on the word "seeing the pen". As the saying goes, "the shape is exhausted and the heart is full of joy." When the old monk painted landscapes, he sometimes followed the routine and sometimes found another way, but he was "in the festival" everywhere, surpassing all "shapes" and "phases" with a few strokes, which reflected the spiritual proof of the author's detachment and refinement everywhere.
