Si Yu Sheng Hui (Resplendent Like Jade)

Artist：H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)

　　There seems to be a common belief in painting circles that paintings of plantain trees and lichees are easy to paint.  However, this painting in front of you is by no means easy to paint.  How could a work of ordinary appeal deservedly use the title "Resplendent Like Jade"?  　The natural-looking, pleasing plantain tree in this painting was drawn with only a small number of strokes.  It is so beautiful and pleasant, so elegant and enrapturing.  It appears so natural, without the slightest mark of artificiality.  The plantain leaves were painted vigorously and spontaneously.  Each of the elegantly simple and adeptly painted matching lichees was completed with just a small number of brush touches.  Both the plantain tree and lichees lack any mediocrity and were painted without the slightest mental attachment in the mind of the artist.

　　The key point is that, with just a small number of simple strokes, the whole painting is impressively imbued with a strong jade-like charm and an auspicious air.  This is aptly expressed in the following short poem: "Unfurl the painting scroll and the especially fragrant scent of ink is sent forth, permeating the viewer's mind and intoxicating him to the core.  No more than a small number of strokes were applied.   This is the king of paintings in which ink is used as sparingly as gold."

Chinese Paintings of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

─ The Manifestation of the Craftsmanship Vidya of a Consummate Artist

In his art, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has indeed assimilated the essence of traditional Chinese painting. Not only has His Holiness leaned from the painting traditions of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasty scholars, His Holiness has also easily mastered the grand and vigorous style of pre-Song dynasty painting, Yet, H. H. Dorje Chang Buddha III has not merely emulated the techniques of any one painter or any one school. His Holiness has learned from ancient artistry and has also learned from nature. Combining the two, His Holiness has created a novel and unique style of his own. From a careful examination of paintings by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, it is not difficult to see the legacy of tradition and the spirit of originality. The paintings of previous generations of Chinese artists cannot match His Holiness’s paintings. *

The appreciation of every painting will bring us to a state that is beyond words. With our ordinary eyes, it is impossible for us to perceive the kind of level it requires for one to be able to create such details and vividness in a painting. We can only say that the manifestation of the Craftsmanship Vidya of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III proves to us the magnificence of Buddha Dharma.
