义云高大师 在美荣获殊荣
参研密乘佛法 无私无我 加洲旧金山订定“义云高大师日”

(台北报导)据来自美国消息，美国加州州政府与旧金山市政府为表扬在海峡两岸佛教界、艺术界享有声誉的义云高大师(见右图)，在绘画、书法、医术、佛教等方面的杰出成就，正式宣布三月八日订定为义云高大师日，此一殊荣在美国社会史无前例，堪称东方之荣、华人之光。

义云高大师年少时在大陆参研密乘佛法，证德证境甚高。在书法、绘画、医术等方面也有殊胜成就，一九九五年荣获四十八国代表组成的世界诗人文化大会，颁赠特级国际大师证书表彰他的全方位成就，以及对世界人类所作的伟大贡献；大陆官方亦为他修建列入国家行政编制的大师馆，向他致最崇高的敬意。

美国加州州长戴维斯及旧金山市长布朗，为表扬义云高大师在佛教、科学、伦理道德等方面的全方位卓越成就，以及他为世人所作的无私无我的贡献，特别将三月八日订为义云高大师庆祝日。

义云高大师在台弟子透露，义云高大师为具有真材实学的一代巨德，是近代颇负盛名的大学者、艺术家，无论是工笔、写意的山水、花卉、人物、鸟兽绘画，其造诣已达登峰造极境界；在佛学与佛法方面，境界殊胜高超，其精心研发的碧玉春、霸王春绿茶，也被评为茶中极品，值得一提的是，在医术方面，也相当高明精湛，可说是一位全方位的传奇人物。

昨日包括台湾，加州华人欲向他庆贺，却遍寻不着，目前已经确定他并不在加州。

义云高大师生于中国四川，自幼即受到中国传统文化的薰陶，随杰出学者学习佛教及中国文化如哲学、文学、绘画、书法、音乐、武术、中国医药等，饱读经史、三藏法典，深造五明。由于义大师在诸多领域的渊博学识与精深造诣，先后被爱尔兰共和国曼宁大学、美国及世界共八十三所大学联盟颁授佛学、艺术及宗教和哲学博士，并担任三所大学的教授和科学一级研究员。

1994年，世界诗人文化大会的5612位专家和学者共同推选颁发大师为全世界唯一的“特级国际大师”，该特级国际大师证书由国际奥委会主席萨马兰奇亲自签发。中国一级政府特在大师的家乡修建了中国历史上唯一的在世之人的纪念馆──“义云高大师馆”，展示大师的杰出成就。

1999年，义大师应邀访问美国，鉴于大师崇高无瑕的道德品质以及在佛学、艺术、哲学、科学等方面的惊人成就，美国加州州政府和旧金山市政府同一天宣布2000年3月8日为“义云高大师日”，加州政府、加州参议院、加州众议院、旧金山市政府及旧金山市议会十一名议员联名签署也分别颁发表扬状褒奖义大师对美国人民及世界人类所做的贡献。

2000年5月12日，全世界最大的佛教会议召开，来自28个国家、416个佛教机构和寺庙的2138位高僧大德经过7天的详细审评，义大师以99.6%的高得票率被授予“显密圆通正宗佛教大师”。

不仅如此，义大师在艺术方面同时达到了登峰造极的成就。2000年5月和11月，义大师之画作“威震”和“大力王尊者”分别在国际拍卖市场上拍得2,125,327.00和2,207,912.00美元的高价，创下了当今世界在世画家之最高纪录。

2001年，以美国国会多数党领袖盖博·哈特和前日本首相二阶堂进为名誉会长、当今白宫总统亚太裔顾问委员会主席祖炳民教授为会长的美国国际经济政策基金会特聘义大师为该会的最高首席顾问。

2002年，大师创作了轰动世界的最高艺术“韵雕”，是人类雕塑艺术的极度高峰的展现，为世界雕塑艺术史写下了精美而不可复制的历史篇章。从此后，在人类雕塑艺术界中出现了不可复制的艺术。而形似神似与大自然造化无异的神变奇石，却又超于大自然的精美和布局，可以说，义大师刀下的艺术奇石的雕刻终于降伏了大自然的造化！世界上从此出现了第一个人能胜过自然的奇迹，这也是义大师为人类文化艺术中雕塑艺术作出的最大贡献。2002年9月，白宫总统亚太裔顾问委员会主席亲临美国义云高大师国际文化基金会为大师颁发总统金质奖章以表彰大师惊世的杰出成就。

其实，义大师这么多惊世骇俗的成就，都来源于他深厚渊博的学识修养、崇高圣洁的伦理道德、无私菩提圣境德行而为人类所作出的巨大贡献！

表彰在佛教、绘画及书法成就 获殊荣
义云高大师 再获旧金山推崇

(记者丘元智台北报导)据来自美国消息，继加州州政府与旧金山市政府双双颁订三月八日为义云高大师日后，旧金山市政府和市议会最近又分别颁发三藩市荣誉市民证、特殊就荣誉状，给义云高大师，表彰他在佛教、绘画、书法、医术等方面的全方位成就，堪称为华人之光。

不过，平日以利益众生为职志的义云高大师谦虚为怀，并未在美国接受此一盛誉表扬。

义云高大师是近代海峡两岸颇负盛名的大学者、艺术家、科学家，中国书画的造诣已达登峰造极的境界，是将中国书画推向世界的奠基者，在提升世界文化层次及伦理道德、人生宇宙哲学方面及促进国际文化交流所做的贡献，以及至高的道德风范，已赢得了国际人士的尊重和崇敬。尤其是在佛教上的成就，更为特殊，被称为全球最顶尖的佛教大导师。

义云高大师学识渊博，道德崇高，伟绩风范遮不住，连续获得了美国各界颁赠的殊荣证书，包括世界佛教总会、美国密宗总会、世界佛教正法总会、加州众议院、世界八十多所大学联盟等单位，显示义云高大师是难得一见的巨德，为人类所敬仰的典范。

值得一提的是，一九九四年世界文化大会四十八个国家地区代表，评选义云高大师为世界特级国际大师，由国际奥委会主席萨玛兰奇签发证书，在匈牙利公布，并致函中国大陆国务院等机构，官方特别在大师的家乡，兴建了中国历史上首座为活着的人修建的巨型皇宫式“七馆一部”的义云高大师馆，肯定他为人类所做的无私无我贡献。
