Characteristics of works
Xu Dishan was born to join the WTO. His religious feelings based on realistic suffering are essentially a sense of hardship. Although Xu Dishan is familiar with Buddhist and Taoist classics, he never wants to live in seclusion and always aims at transforming society and saving mankind. The simple and simple creed of "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement" runs through Xu Dishan's life.
His works not only show his understanding and interpretation of Buddhist culture, but also gather his multiple thoughts and understandings of Christian culture, Taoist culture and even real culture. Accepting the Buddhist concept of emptiness does not lead to the denial of real life and the extinction of the concept of right and wrong, but to recognize the limitations, open up the self and embrace the world.
