Before the brush, there is listening
Paper is not empty, it holds all weight in
Ink does not speak loud, it arrives when ready
The hand learns by slowing down
What is force breaks, what is patience takes
Chứ chứ thầy người đã học, học kim lặng học bên lâu
Calligraphy is not writing, it is agreement
Swing breath in time
When the brush lifts, the lesson continues
Before the brush, there is listening

What is force breaks, what is patience takes
Chứ chứ thầy người đã học, học kim lặng học bên lâu
