During the exhibition, many foreign tourists loved Master’s art and asked whether the art could be sold, hoping to get their favorite pieces before the end of their trip.
A retired high school teacher praised Master’s art, saying, “Master’s paintings show a wide range of colors, express a variety of styles, and are without boundaries. They are very impressive.” An elderly woman came to enjoy Master’s work on the opening day, and brought three friends with her the next day.

With over 100 years of history, the Taichung Dongshih Sindingban Festival is one of the 12 major Formosan Hakka Festivals. It took place from March 5 to 7, Golden Year 12 (2015), at the Dongshih Hakka Cultural Park. Taichung Center organized the exhibition of Master’s blissful art creations for the locals to enjoy. On the opening day, 10 Longevity Lamps were displayed at the front corridor of the Hakka Cultural Artifacts Exhibition Hall in the Cultural Park, and they became the central attraction. Many tourists and locals stopped by to view and photograph the lamps. In addition, nearly 40 of the various lamp styles were shown at the booth. Local hometown official Mr. Luo said, “Longevity Lamps symbolize light, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.”
Manager Ms. Liu of the Dongshih Hakka Cultural Park said, “After displaying the Longevity Lamps, warmth and calmness filled the atmosphere. People felt a steady, calm and orderly energy warming up their hearts. The whole exhibition was full of love, like being at home.” After the exhibition, he reserved an area in the Culture Park for the long-term exhibition of the Longevity Lamps. Exhibit Director Mr. Yang favored the Longevity Lamp Hometown, and said, “This is like the Hakka tradition of lighting up a lamp to guide people to their home in Heaven.”
The Supreme Art Exhibition in Dongshih Hakka Cultural Park was an outstanding success, leading to an invitation by World Trade Center Taichung for the Supreme Art Exhibition to be displayed at the Taichung Vegetarian Health Organic & LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) Expo during June Golden Year 12 (2015). The organizer provided over 660 square meters in the expo for our Association free of charge. Our Association members from Taichung Center planned meticulously for this expo displaying Supreme Art and Vegan LOHAS ideas. A special seated area was set up for the screening of the Loving the Silent Tears musical, which many people enjoyed. One of the visitors felt very touched and said, “I just realized, through the commentator of this exhibition, why Master Ching Hai always dressed herself very beautifully.” Concurring with the idea of “showing the most beautiful side in life is a noble act,” she felt our booth was really great!
The Supreme Art Exhibition was held at Taichung City Shihgang Visitor Information Center from July 24 to 30, Golden Year 12 (2015). Many cultural figures, government officials and media came to the opening day ceremony. Followed by special guest speeches and Master’s Supreme Art documentary, a joint lamp-lighting ceremony was held by The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association delegate; Taichung City Council for Hakka Affairs’ Director Mr. Liu Hong-Ji; District of Shigang Supervisor Mr. Gao Wen-Sheng; the wife of the Taiwan Glass Gallery’s Board Chairman Ms. Kang Meng-Jing; and artist Mr. Lin Cang-Yu to declare the start of the exhibition. Mr. Lin Cang-Yu then guided the audience through Master’s magnificent art creations; thus, the festival was in full swing!
For the next three days beginning on July 25, at the exhibit hall, our Association members entertained the audience with special performances. Taichung Association members danced, descending like fairies coming to Earth, Mongolian Association members performed traditional dance solos, and a chorus of our Association members from Taichung, along with several other acts, attracted many tourists to the exhibit hall to enjoy the exhibition. Daily raffle drawings were also a major attraction for visitors. Nearly 100 people enjoyed the two musicals, The Real Love and Loving the Silent Tears, each day. There were many people staying in the Poetry Singing and Book Reading sections to listen to Master’s singing and to read Master’s art creation publications. We were delighted to see residents and visitors of Shigang District enjoying a wonderful journey of spiritual art.
Mr. Wu Kai-Chien, the artist who founded the “Wujin” epoxy resin painting style, said, “Master’s paintings contain great energy; thus I felt inspired while viewing the painting. If a higher-level spiritual practitioner were able to see the paintings, his or her soul would be greatly enlightened.” Board Chairman of the Freshwater Institute of Mongolia Dr. Dorjsuren Dechinlhundev was deeply attracted by the painting Stone Cave. “I felt the very harmonic love energy, allowing me easily to enter Samadhi. I bought this painting to hang it on the wall in my office, so I can feel Master’s abundance of love all the time.”
