CHI ART is a term coined by Grand Master Chi Jen Liu to describe his special paintings. True to the nomenclature, his paintings are essentially the "art of energy." Grand Master Liu paints them for the sole purpose of creating balance between personal, feng shui, and cosmic dimensions. Chi Art is a meditation expressed in a visual form. Looking upon the mantra charms, diagrams, and symbols stimulates your subconscious mind, triggering subtle, yet deep states of transformation.
The following is taken from Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu’s book, Feng Shui Chi Art. The book is filled with insightful teachings about chi, full-color photos of paintings, art statement,s and poetry. In this excerpt, Grand Master Liu shares his dream that inspired "Tunnel of Love Between East and West."
In a vivid dream, I find myself at the end of a tunnel framed with dripstones and vines. Before me is a magnificent view of green mountains with peach trees, jungle foliage, and flat rocks lining a smooth broad river below. In this dream, my beloved wife and I stroll hand-in-hand, enjoying this ideal world - the hard-earned fruit of our labor. But this world is more than colorful fantasy - it is filled with symbolism and reveals the journey I started fifty years ago to share Eastern culture with the West.
For the past fifty years, I have (symbolically speaking) been digging a tunnel to connect two cultures. The tunnel represents the communication of Eastern philosophy I have brought to the West. It is reinforced with dense tree roots that have worked their way into the rocks and soil, making it stable and permanent. This symbolizes that my work has made a foundation in the West. I have strengthened the walls of this communication tunnel with the roots of wisdom and love for my culture.
Dripstones represent heaven coming to Earth because they descend from above. The eight dripstones symbolize Heaven Town, where divine blessings of fortune come down to earth. The dripstones also symbolize achievement and wealth.
