About Gu, Yi-Xiong Zen Painting
Venerable Master Yi-Yun, also known as Yi-Xiong Gu, was born in China in 1971. At the age of 19, he moved to Xi’an, China, to pursue his passion for art and enrolled at Xi’an United University in 1993, where he majored in various art forms, including brush painting, sketching, and watercolor. Concurrently, he delved into the study of Zhouyi in Taoism and Buddhist Zen.
Upon completing his studies, he graduated with an Art Major from Xi’an United University. With a profound interest in Zen Art and Chinese Ink painting, he went on to become the President of the World Zen Art Center, co-director of the China Zen Art Academy, and abbot of the American Tianfo Temple.
At the age of 27, Venerable Master Yi-Yun sought refuge in Xi’an’s Great Ci’en Temple, China, to deepen his spiritual journey. Later, at the age of 42, he continued his pursuit of spiritual knowledge by seeking refuge in New York’s Ci-Hang Monastery, where he diligently studied Buddhism under the guidance of Master Miao-Feng. It was at the age of 52 that he experienced a profound awakening, leading him to ordain at the American Tianfo Temple, receiving the monastic name Yi-Yun. Guided by the Chan tradition, his training encompassed both Chan meditation and the chanting of Pure Land, allowing him to delve into the profound depths of the Dharma. Through a sudden realization, he comprehended the inherent emptiness and the natural path of the Dharma, ultimately attaining liberation through the profound wisdom of Prajna.
In 2003, he participated in a cultural exchange sponsored by the Japan China Cultural Association in Japan. His artworks were warmly received, and many were collected by Japanese friends. Later, he went to Beijing People’s Hall to participate in the “China Soul-Celebration of the 56th Anniversary of the Establishment of People’s Republic of China, Calligraphy and Paintings of Celebrities National Celebration Benevolent of China.” China Art Weekly featured and introduced Gu YiXiong’s paintings. In 2005, he won the Gold Medal at the China-America, San Francisco, Chinese Painting and Calligraphy International Contest. His exceptional talent was further recognized with several other awards in China, including the prestigious “Traditional Culture Promoting Project of China Outstanding Award” at Beijing People’s Hall. In 2008, the China Cultural Information Association and China Cultural United Publishing Company honored him with the title of “Master of the Time.”
In 2005, he was appointed co-director of the China Zen Art Academy. Mr. Gu moved to the U.S. in 2009 to actualize his dream of promoting the development and prosperity of Zen Art and Chinese Zen Tao worldwide. In 2012, he became the president of the World Zen Art Center, and in 2022, he was appointed as the abbot of the American Tianfo Temple. His expertise lies in Chinese ink landscape, Zen paintings, and Qimen Dunjia divination. Master Yi-Yun’s sermons are followed by devout Buddhists in New York and gave them great spiritual help. His ambition and life goal are to establish international Zen Tao Art development to ensure Zen Tao Art’s prosperity and appreciation for generations to come.
Here is a verse composed by Venerable Master Yi-Yun:
“In the ever-changing realm of existence, humans ride the waves of joy and sorrow, yet only when the Buddha’s essence remains forever within, can one attain serenity, radiance, and true liberation. Through the path of Zen and Tao, profound insights unfold, revealing the universal order and the boundless emptiness within. With the wisdom of Prajna, one transcends, achieving Buddhahood and ultimate release.”
