Event Introduction

“With your mind and heart being present, we naturally feel at ease.” Changlin Fashi

Nature has a kind of healing power. When we go into nature, we naturally know how to free ourselves and bring our mind and heart to the present. Be in the moment like a tree in the forest, who does not complain about the hot sun and pouring rain, but feels and accepts every moment as it is with full awareness.

Changlin Fashi captured 12 Zen moments in nature simply by following his heart, and created the art pieces with his formless calligraphy. They are made with transparent sheets which allow visitors to see through the photos with the ever-changing natural background, and experience collaborative art with nature. The pieces placed at the Plaza will stand in direct sunlight and rainfall throughout the exhibition period. They will demonstrate how everything undergoes constant changes and impermanence being the nature of things. We welcome visitors to visit the exhibition at different times, to observe their formation, existence, as well as destruction and emptiness. To learn more about the Zen messages and creative concepts behind, you may book an audio guide service before your visit.
