为推动中国传统文化艺术发展，促进澳门与内地的文化艺术交流，活跃本地文化气氛，让更多的澳门人认识和感受中国禅画艺术作品之魅力，由澳门基金会主办的“香风时雨——月照上人禅画世界巡展（澳门展）”于5月5日至5月11日在澳门教科文中心举行。展览展出禅画画家月照上人逾百幅精选禅画作品，期望藉着让观众感受当代佛教文化艺术，启发人们探索物质与精神、感官与心灵的关系；展览除展出月照上人作品外，还展出其所藏台湾佛光山开山宗长星云大师书法墨宝十幅。

澳门中联办文教部副部长级助理邵彬，外交部驻澳特派员公署公共外交和新闻部副主任李孝勤，澳门基金会行政委员会主席吴志良，澳门文化局文博厅厅长李丽娇，澳门日报社长陆波，澳门佛教总会会长释健钊，澳门美术协会会长黎鹰，世界居士联合会（澳门）理事长王军及参展画家月照上人等出席开幕式。

月照上人在致词时表示，感谢澳门基金会提供这次展览平台，让更多澳门居民接触佛教文化艺术，体会佛教宽宏大量的胸怀、笑口常开的心态，学习懂得战胜自己最畏惧的心魔，认清自我。他说，想画出一幅让人感动的禅画，先决条件是绘画的人须“心中有佛，笔下才有佛”，只有清楚领悟到佛教的真谛，方可活出精彩的人生。

In his speech,Master Monk Yue Zhao thanked Macao Foundation for this exhibition as an opportunity to further introduce Zen arts to Macao people. He said that the prerequisite of a touching Zen painting is that the artist must have Buddha in his heart so as to have Buddha at his brush tip. He hoped that people may appreciate Buddha’s benevolence and optimism, learn to overcome the most fearsome devil in one’s mind, reach a clear understanding of oneself, so as to gain enlightenment of the Buddha’s true essence and lead a splendid life.
