甲申三月初,我应邀赴东南亚参加一个佛教文化活动,有幸结识了几位佛教界名流,其中就有潼印法师——一位中国艺术品的收藏家。那天下午,我来到潼印大师家。在风光如画的绿树浓荫中,只见大师家门前高悬着一块中国式的门额,其上镌刻着赵朴初先生的手迹“庐鸿草堂”。大师今年已经81岁高龄,祖籍福建,会讲一口流利的闽南话, 而中国的普通话也说得出奇的好。大师人很随和,双目炯炯有神, 睿智而深沉,仁厚也率真,虽然很少来大陆了,但谈到中国历史、地理、风土人情,乃至中国绘画以及绘画史上的名人掌故竟能如数家珍。 In early March, I was invited to attend a Buddhist cultural event in Southeast Asia. I was fortunate enough to get acquainted with several celebrities from the Buddhist circle, among whom were Tongyong Master, a collector of Chinese artworks. That afternoon, I came to Tong master master. In the shade of the picturesque trees, I saw a gate hung in front of the master with a Chinese-style door engraved with Mr. Zhao Puchu’s handwriting “House of Lu Che Cottage.” Master is already 81 years old this year, his ancestral home is Fujian, he speaks fluent Hokkien dialect, and Chinese mandarin is also remarkably good. Masters are very easy-going, eyes bright, wise and deep, kind and honest, although rarely come to the mainland, but talked about Chinese history, geography, customs and practices, as well as the history of Chinese painting and painting celebrity can actually count the best.
