Book Review: A Secret "Island" full of Treasures
Summary: 5 Stars
Celestial Art has brought me indescribable joy layer after layer. I was already speechless by just browsing these extraordinary pictures. However when I started to read the stories behind each celestial art, my heart started beating so fast, I felt like I have found the secret of the universe, and a secret "island" full of treasures which people could only imagine before.
The superb skilled paintings of Celestial Art melted my heart right away as I were enjoying Van Gogh's new art collection, all the subjects, the smiling moon, beautiful desert flowers, tender forest, resting stick and many more are so vital and telling their stories and even their emotions. However unlike Van Gogh's sadness and loneliness peering through his work, that he was the only one awake while the whole world was sleeping; these unique masterpieces of Supreme Master Ching Hai, are so amazingly determined and cheerful, telling the whole world, "I am here, wake up and follow ME!" I specially enjoy the exceptionally generous displaying of all stunning and uplifting paintings in such a large scale with extreme details pages after pages.
Oh, I could not hold my breath any more with such glorious jewelries and clothes, my real love! I love not only all the contemporary designs, but also the monk fashion. I really appreciate the beauty of all these huge and even small photos of the artist, Supreme Master Ching Hai, wearing her own artistic designs, and the way she wear everything so uniquely and gracefully, better than any professional model I ever know. I will replace my whole wardrobe and jewelry boxes.
I read Celestial Art as if I were on a sea journey, up, down and up again. In addition to breathing-taking art creations, it tells a astonishing story of the Eden on earth, Hsihu, a land full of wonders along with so many distinct longevity lamps, 176 romantic and eco-friendly caves -- the homes for devoted noble residences, the gorgeous Phoenix, and the superb and heavenly Nectar river-- we all heard that all our problems and diseases will go away by just drinking heavenly nectar. It must have been full of miracles for Supreme Master Ching Hai, and her students built this fairyland on such a desolate land without water and electricity but wind. Suddenly I felt unspeakable melancholic, an heavenly place that I was so longing for, was built on the other side of the world, that I wish I were there and in a part of any of these glorious projects and lived at the fairyland among those saintly people. Yeah, I missed but do not miss it, I have Eden right in front of me.
This is the book that I could enjoy at any moment and in any mood. This is the book I put next to my pillow. Whenever I open up any page, I will read it through, and enjoy such aesthetic journey of beauty, virtue and truth over and over again.
Summary of Celestial Art
Some say that children are artists and environmentalists, because right from birth they are inclined to the bright and beautiful, they care spontaneously for nature and befriend animals and insects. That took place in not so distant a past; nevertheless, we have gradually forgotten our Real Self while immersing ourselves in the existence of humans in a busy world. All this while, we have estranged ourselves far from the artist dwelling within our hearts. Celestial Art leads you into a magical realm bringing you to celebrate a complete return to the innocence of childhood as well as enjoy the brilliance of Truth, Compassion and Beauty. In that sphere you are to experience exquisite ideas and marvellous designs sparkling with life wisdom while integrating perfectly to exalt harmony with nature and environment. The translucent Heavenly Flowers glide with the glittering current... The painted pebbles and fans reflect the beauty of purity with a liveliness and fun so common to children. Made of bamboo and wood, the Longevity Lamps bask in glorious simplicity. The golden touch has made the Celestial Jewellery radiate in Ancient Beauty and Spring Your Soul. As if the Goddess of The Rainbow had descended upon Earth, in their splendour Celestial Clothes magnify heavenly glamour. Amazingly, this brilliant and versatile artist has not received any academic training. The author said humbly that she didn't know how to create artwork before engaging in spiritual practice and obtaining enlightenment. She has consequently credited all inspiration to the Heaven; hence the title of this collection Celestial Art . Having mastered the art of coexisting harmoniously with all forms of existence she experienced, she exemplifies the very principle of Oneness and Return to Innocence, the optimal life-style advocated by ancient sages and modern saints alike. Through such life-style, she attains this very state of utmost freedom (Within and Without) and ideal expression all artists constantly yearn for. Furthermore, these days of our lives particularly call for us lead an existence of harmony and balance with all: the environment, all beings, one s mind, body and soul, Supreme Master Ching Hai has emphasized a model proven to bring sound solutions to current environmental crisis. Following her example we can truly regain Eden. The Ashram at Hsihu is in itself a wondrous art creation that speaks for such harmonious world. Supreme Master Ching Hai and her disciples developed the unwanted barren hill into the paradise of today filled with fragrant flowers and singing birds All structures exist in total accordance to the contour and geographic characteristics of the hill they were constructed on. Such perfect communion with nature enriches the Ashram with a touch of enchantment and enhanced beauty. These endeavours also expose the developer's deep respect and care of nature. While strolling on a winding path, allow yourself to be charmed by the birds and their songs echoing in the lush mountain. Stunning sceneries succeed one another. Landscape architects and environmental professionals marvel at these amazing experience and applaud this heavenly design. Its author has achieved harmony between man and nature.Photography Books
