What is Buddhist calligraphy and why do people put so much emphasis on it?

Chinese calligraphy is an ancient art form and serves as a meditative practice for Buddhists. For Buddist calligraphers, the end product is not important---the importance lies in the every stroke of the brush. Buddhists practice what is known as Mindfulness----the practice of living in every moment as a fully aware human being. One focuses on the brush, the ink, the correct stroke marks and thinks of nothing else. It helps to clear the mind. It takes many years and much practice to become a skilled Chinese calligrapher. Hope that helps.
