"Elegance" can be said in many ways, but it is closest to sweeping away the common sense. Emptiness, emptiness, and tranquility involve cultivating the mind and cultivating the body, and those who cultivate the body are better. Landscape paintings are mostly based on antiquity, tranquility and elegance, and a clear mind for their appearance and meaning. However, it is difficult to get close to the truth if you have a secular heart, or if you talk about it from the heart. Therefore, only by sweeping away all the vulgarities, attaining tranquility and seeking elegance can we gain it. However, how to sweep away the worldly intestines and how to obtain the body is the foundation of finding the way. Look, today's landscape paintings have various styles and schools, but there are few works that are elegant and beautiful. Why? Just because, the secular intestine is the way, just because, I only know that elegance is in the heart, and elegance comes from the heart. When looking for the cause, I don't know that there is a golden house in the book, I don't know the foundation of body and mind, and it is caused by forgetting the foundation and seeking fate.

The word painter is only known as a person who paints, but not its metaphor. As a result, painting became a profession. Painters are the ones who preach the Tao! He is a wise man with profound morals, noble character, and a certain level of knowledge and cultivation. The painter is the figure of Tao! It is the person who has gained the Tao who displays and expresses the Tao through a technique. Therefore, it can be seen that the painter's painting is not the appearance shown by the technique, but the way of one's self implied by the appearance produced by the technique. Of course, the use of skills is also crucial. The classic landscape paintings that we see in today's painting world are all painted by painters who are well versed in them. For example, Master Zhenyuan, the presiding master of Xiangyang Temple in Mount Wutai, entered the Tao by observing and worshiping the Buddha. He wrote paintings while studying the Buddha, and worked hard to practice his techniques in order to use his paintings to explain the Tao. And while studying and teaching Buddhism, he diligently studied and practiced the art of painting. This creative process of painting landscapes based on knowledge and consciousness naturally creates emptiness, emptiness and tranquility in the paintings, and thus the worldly emotions are naturally swept away.

Only when you are in nature can you understand nature. Talking only about the mind is mostly obscene. Therefore, it is said that cultivating the body is greater than cultivating the mind. It can also be said that cultivating the body includes cultivating the mind. If only the mind is cultivated, where does it come from? Master Zhenyuan’s path to painting and the reason for his involvement in Buddhism and painting are the best explanations for this meaning.
