The purpose of Master Hsing Yun's calligraphy is to make connections with people. Beginning in 1996, in response to devotees who requested his calligraphy, Master Hsing Yun wrote a couplet reading: Peace and Auspiciousness." This was followed by the yearly tradition of scripting calligraphy of auspicious words during the Chinese New Year in honor of the annual Spring Festival at Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaohsiung. These calligraphic pieces are then printed and distributed as gifts to the larger community of followers. On the 40th anniversary of the monastery's founding in 2007 |
