三、經文與書法

李義弘〈妙法蓮華〉書法

李駿濤〈法華經藥草喻品摘句〉書法 (左)

許郭璜〈無量義經德行品〉書法

佛典經文兼具智慧結晶與書法之美,亦是度眾人至彼岸的法寶。書法家對於佛經與書寫風格的結合,除了讀誦受持之外,書寫經文亦為功德修行之法。「經文與書法」單元分為經文書法和法華經數位資料庫:(一)書法家書寫經文的書體兼具篆、隸、行、草,內容取材自《心經》、《金剛經》、《法華經》、《大悲咒》…等佛經。(二)「法華經數位資料庫」以數位科技為介面,建構一套完整的查詢與研究典範。

如此,介於傳統與現代二種詮釋佛教經典的並列方式,呈現多樣風格的書寫之美及多元並置的對話意涵。展出藝術家包括:張光賓、鄭善禧、李義弘、林章湖、許郭璜、石博進、林銓居、趙宇修、詹獻坤、李駿濤、林守忠、林恭一,以及由中華佛學研究所建立之「法華經數位資料庫」等作品。

3. Scripture and Chinese calligraphy

The Buddhist scripture is not only the treasure of the Dharma, which delivers all the sentient beings to the other shore of complete liberation but also a combination of wisdom and the beauty of calligraphy. In addition to reading and following sutras, writing sutras is another way to practice and accumulate merits.

There are two topics in this area: scripture calligraphy and digital database of the Lotus Sutra. The juxtaposition of the traditional presentation of sutras in Chinese calligraphy with the modern presentation with new technology implies diversity of Buddhist culture.

(1) On display are Buddhist sutras, such as the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and the Mantra of Great Compassion, written in four Chinese calligraphic scripts. Participating artists in this section include Chang Kuang-Bin, Cheng Shan-Shi, Lee Yi-Hong, Lin Chang-Hu, Hsu Kuo-Huang, Shih Po-Chin, Lin Chuang-Chu, Chao Yu-Shou, Chan Hsiang-Kunn, Lee Tsunn-Tao, Lin Shou-Chung and Lin Kong-I etc.
(2) "The digital database of the Lotus Sutra" established by "The Chung Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies" allow index searching for various versions of the Lotus Sutra. That has become the best model for inquiry and research.
