The Largest Painting in History Earth Zen Person, Chi-Sung Hung

Material and textile experts in Taiwan worked together and imported special weaving equipment to weave the 5-m moisture-proof, low-distortion fabric. Finite element analysis was performed on the canvas by experts from US to simulate the structural integrity and deformed shape at various suspension and loading conditions. The volume of the amount of paint needed to finish this painting is about the size of a swimming pool. It is estimated to take half a year for the drawing and another full year for coloring.The canvas weighs several hundred kg. It is separated into 15 rolls.

Zen Master Chi-Sung Hung is an internationally well-known meditation teacher. He calls himself an Earth Zen Person, a person who is devoted to promoting the enlightenment of all living beings. In his childhood, he saw the death of workers in his father’s firecracker factory because of a big explosion. Years later, his father’s death further made him realize the impermanent nature of life. Facing life and death at such a young age, he started to search for the path of immortality. When he was ten, he started learning several different types of Buddhist meditation. At the age of seventeenth, he was inspired by the 《Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch》 written by Huineng, a famous Zen master in the Tang Dynasty. Three years later, he started teaching meditation. In 1993, he advocated a movement called “pure land in this world” which emphasized environmental protection and mental purification. In addition, he was the first religious leader in Taiwan to promote organ donation. In 1995, he started to teach a series of advanced Buddhist meditation courses. These teachings were later collected in a book called “The Heart of Buddhist Meditation”. Master Hung has written more than a hundred books that focus on the development and purification of the human body and spiritual well being. Master Hung has

Experiencing Life through Drama

Combining dramatic tension with live performances to examine human nature and overcome personal barriers Life is like a play, where everyone involved has a role. Sometimes, due to over insistence, some people stray from their scripts and find themselves embroiled in life’s challenges; those who manage to move on will eventually overcome each obstacle, but those who do not often find themselves stuck in a rut and full of regret. This is the inspiration behind 2015 Celebrity Speaker and former scriptwriter and producer Mr. Tan, Yun-Kai’s (aka. Encore Little Prince) decision to examine the human soul through drama.

Mr. Tan Yun-Kai describes the course as a combination of simple psychology tests (such as: Under what circumstances do you lose your temper easily? What is the most difficult problem you have ever faced so far? Can you tell a person’s mood from his expression?) with movie clips and live performances, to allow students to interpret the feelings of each character and each scenario, contemplating and examining human reactions in their everyday lives – whether your actions will offend others and affect your business, romantic relationships & friendships or not.

Through this course, everyone will be able to see their inner selves, explore the nature of life, identify bottlenecks (personal barriers), and address each problem for a spiritual breakthrough.

The Taiwan National

Clean-up Day 20th May 2018

Come join us for this year’s 2018 National Clean-up Day in Taiwan - Sunday 20th May The Volunteers

What Do I Care About?

I am sure everyone has heard about an amazing group of people known simply as volunteers.

In fact, I am sure most of you have probably volunteered for some worthy cause at some point in your lives? Me, well, I couldn't help but be impressed by the consistent dedication volunteers give to their individual causes.

One of the issues I write a lot about is plasticwaste and the terrible impact it has on our wildlife. Our best estimates suggest we are dumping the equivalent of a fully loaded garbage truck full of trash into the ocean every minute of the day. By 2050 scientists have predicted that our trash will outweigh all lifeforms in the ocean. The ocean has become a giant garbage can and it is filling up fast.

I read about the Doctors and staff of Médecins

We now know that almost all of our drinking water (Bottled and tap) contains plastic. A lot of our food also contains plastic. Animals too are eating plastic and all of us are getting sick.

We are literally drowning in a sea of plastic.

Time to Volunteer!

But rather than just writing about plastic pollution, I think it's time to volunteer! sans frontières (Doctors without border), who give up their time and skills in incredibly dangerous parts of the world to help people in dire straits. Or what about the incredibly brave rangers who form part of Tanzania's elite antipoaching National and Transnational Serious Crimes Unit (NTSCIU), risking their lives to save the lives of Elephants.

There are millions more volunteers, helping out all over the world in a multitude of ways.

Relatives caring for family members with illness and disabilities. Researchers collecting invaluable data to help further understanding or to highlight risk. Neighbourhood watch, planting new trees, protecting hatching turtles, helping underprivileged kids. There are so many wonderful people and organisations all across the world doing incredible things.

So, on the 20th May 2018, I will be helping the TAO and their volunteers. Together with our sponsor, Roxy Surf wear Taiwan, we will be running the 2018 Taiwan National Clean-up Day. This event will be held simultaneously across the whole of Taiwan at the following locations.
