中國的書法藝術是中華文化中的瑰寶，在國粹中名列前茅。在世界藝術史中，它亦獨樹一幟。世界上惟一將古來文字發展為藝術的，只有中華文化，而世界上好幾位佛教高僧也都以書法名世；他們發願救苦救難普渡眾生，這些悅目的墨寶既是他們的喉舌，也都是向眾生開示的工具。本書搜集了林雲大師豐富的作品，書中所挑選的字畫，不僅展現了林雲大師書法的多樣性，也展現了作者自身書法的造詣及對書法的喜愛。鮑家麟，美國印第安那大學歷史學博士，曾任台灣大學歷史系副教授教授多年，美國亞利桑那大學（University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ）東亞系終身教授，2003年﹐榮獲亞洲學會西部分會終身成就獎。現任美國亞利桑那大學東亞系榮休教授。
