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.
