書中配以簡潔文字，清楚介紹各書法家及嘉言出處，令讀者賞玩書法之餘，又領悟修身養性的哲理，淨化心靈。本書於一九九三年榮獲「香港最佳印製書籍獎」。

Forty years ago, when the Chinese Buddhist Association was founded, it called for Buddhists all over the country to "respect the land and enjoy the love". It is hoped that Buddhists will not only devote themselves to material civilization, but also promote the spiritual quality of the people.

The "Buddhist Calligraphy Collection" compiles 108 good words from Buddhist scriptures, discourses, and quotations that are beneficial to self-cultivation and life. Sixty-one contemporary calligraphers are invited to write them. Among them are elders over 90 years old.

The book is accompanied by concise text to clearly introduce the source of the calligraphers and the good words, so that readers can appreciate the calligraphy and understand the philosophy of self-cultivation and purify the soul. This book won the "Hong Kong Best Printed Book Award" in 1993.
