Brian, my Mandarin student and I had the regular training session at Get Art Museum (得(de2) 藝 (yi4) 美(mei3) 術 (shu4) 館(guan3) yesterday.
New Book for Mandarin Class, 2
Around the museum, designed vegetation and several herbs emit fragrance and attract many lovers for art and horticulture.
We enjoyed coffee provided by the mini coffeeshop in the museum as the session went on.
This newly established museum exhibits and promotes works from Taiwan-based artists, including Taiwan-born artists, and artists who live in Taiwan.
Brian mentioned an etching art on wood (preview of art easy 2015) might be inspired by certain landscape of Taipei city because of banana trees and the river side is so similar to the scenery of Taipei Fine Art Museum. And he shared his experience of bicycling with his wife last week in the river side park near by Get Art Museum.

Master Lee Sun Don's World First Sculpture Bronze and Fossil(Sinistral shell)
The World in Hand / Song of Victory 2015
28x31x41cm
How you record your victory in life?
My friend and classmate of Buddhism class, Ranny texted me this late evening,
"Gia, today is our 9th anniversary for studying Forshang Great Buddhism, let's look forward and welcome our 10th year!"
And I replied an icon of a wholehearted love.
During a quick and short conversation, mom shared, joyfully, what she did during her voluntary job as a cook to utilize the limited source to cook a dish that she never imagined before. That dish really made her feel content and excited to know her nature can creatively cook even with limited sources. Mom and I decided to have a great dinner to celebrate and learn some new dishes in certain restaurants nearby.
Left handed gastropod species (less than 10% among the species) are almost always Sinistral (left-handed), and venerated. The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni Buddha (Sanskrit: sage of the Sakya), or Siddhartha Gautama (563-485 BC) accepted a white and left-handed conch as a gift when he first transmitted Buddhist teaching as a song of victory. Thus, sinistral shell is regarded as sacred symbol because of blessing from Sakyamuni Buddha.
In 2015, Taiwanese artist, Professor Lee Sun Don use fossil, Sinistral shell and "only one" copy of sculpture (bronze) with totems (only and only one) to create a world-first and only one artwork to express what his philosophy about relationship between time and human being in universe as holding time by hands, holding the world in hands.
Related criticism from LA Splash Magazine, Brooke Adams, "Master Lee Sun-Don - a Taiwan-born writer, music composer, and incredibly talented painter - incorporates the teachings of Buddha into his artistry and showcased this in his most recent gallery opening, October 4, 2007. Through a delicate balance of color, symbolism, whimsical creativity and precision, Master Lee transfers his own mental and physical energy into a sort of metaphoric storytelling. In his paintings, Master Lee illustrates a path to enlightenment and captures the Zen of art.

A victory could be recorded when a child grow and transform to be mature, and the sympathy from nature could be an great echo, a wonderful song.
The world-first creation of the series of sculpture with fossils is not just Master Lee Sun Don's echo for Universal & Sacred existence, but also a blessing for sympathy of Nature.
I see many things, many powerful messages in these works. Yes, not only are they the prizes we were looking for in their execution, but the message is more vibrant as a result as they are cast from the spirit on a clear day uninterrupted...... You touch my heart.
It is important for the artist to lay their soul on canvas, Master Lee achieves this. This is why his work is a conduit of energy, why it heals, why it is more than telling a well executed visual story and exactly why the work comes to life for it is a living entity from his hand, his soul.

When a sense is practicable, it must be an remarkable one; (道可道，非常道) when a name is namable, it must be an outstanding one. （名可名，非常名）
Void is the name of start for universe (無，名天地之始）; Existence is the name of origin for nature. （有，名萬物之母）
Accordingly, to return Void is to see the wonder, and to recall Existence is to see the wishes. （故常無，欲以觀其妙；常有，欲以觀其徼）
Void and Existence are both differently named silk threads which combine together into one string. （此兩者，同出而異其名，同謂之玄。） The performance of the string by stringsews a gate to enjoy various wonders. （玄之又玄，眾妙之門）
"Laozi (also Lao-Tzu or Lao-Tze) was a philosopher and poet of ancient China. He is known as the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching[1] and the founder of philosophical Taoism, and as a deity in religious Taoism and traditional Chinese religions. Although a legendary figure, he is usually dated to around the 6th century BCE and reckoned a contemporary of Confucius, but some historians contend that he actually lived during the Warring States period of the 5th or 4th century BCE. A central figure in Chinese culture, Laozi is claimed by both the emperors of the Tang dynasty and modern people of the Li surname as a founder of their lineage. Throughout history, Laozi's work has been embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements. "
