Everything is a Message of Love

When you have love in your heart, everything could be a message of love. The sound of the bird and the sound of the airplane; the smell of roses and the smell of manure. The cry of a baby and the laughters of a stranger... Everything is a message of love. A whole big love pool. A vast expanse of universal love. 

Permanent sumi ink on rice paper, mounted on acid-free paper. 
Size: 12 H x 19 W x 0.1 in. Inspired by the amazing patterns of Koi fish.

Essence, Chi, and Spirit

"Essence, Chi, and Spirit" are called the Three Treasures or Three Jewels. They are theoretical cornerstones in traditional Chinese medicine and practices such as Neidan, Qigong, and T'ai chi. They are also known as Jing Qi Shen:

• Jing 精: "nutritive essence, essence; refined, perfected; extract; spirit, demon; sperm, seed"
• Qi 氣: "vitality, energy, force; air, vapor; breath; spirit, vigor; attitude"
• Shen: 神 "spirit; soul, mind; god, deity; supernatural being"

Chinese calligraphy: "Essence, Chi, and Spirit" in semi-cursive style. Original work. Mounted with double layers silk matting on a handsome wooden scroll rod. "Essence, Chi, and Spirit" are essential for the health of our body and mind. Body and mind are inter-connected and inseparable. One's health depends on the wholesomeness of all.

Sumi ink on rice paper. The image size is 8.5 by 19 in. The full scroll size is 11 by 36 in. Signed with the seal of the artist (three golden dots).

Imperfection is the Perfection

Letting go of the wanting mind. Imperfection is exactly the perfection. Accepting is not giving up; it is seeing things as they are, with our inner strength, centering, and clarity. No one can take away our confidence. Unwavering trust and faith come from a knowing mind and a deep felt heart. To feel is to know.

We suffer from our mind, we are our own prisoners. The fixed idea we have limit us. Sometimes for a long, long time...

This work is inspired by the simple but elegant Zen art. It is done with permanent sumi ink on rice paper, mounted on acid-free cotton rag paper. Signed with the artist's seal: "Moon".

Let the Energy Flow

We got stuck for various reasons. Certain parts in our body feel tense; certain mindsets feel solid. When our inner environment is stuffy, we can't even breathe well. With a shallow breath, the outer environment seems impossible, all things are difficult, unconquerable.

Sit down,
Come back to our center,
Breathe,
Being,
Feel the flow. Aware of the energy, the wind, the birds, the breeze,
The tingling.
Release...
Let it flow.

Remembering

Chinese calligraphy: "Remembering" in semi-cursive style. Original work. Unframed. Remembering who we are; remembering where we came from; remembering our "beginner's mind."

Remember the bellowing clouds of the tropical storm;
Remember father, remember mother,
Remember the love one's tears.
So sad I cannot share with you.
