Sutra Calligraphy

Apart from Tea Chan, one can also experience Sutra Transcription on the third floor. Sutra Transcription is adapted into Buddhism from Chinese calligraphy in the early days before printing was available. In order to make Buddhist scriptures more accessible to others, scribes were engaged to transcribes the sutras. Over time, it became a way of cultivation, through which one calms the minds and deepens the understanding of the Dharma.
