The U.S. Chinese Art Museum opened on March 22, 2008.
This was four shows in one, and was a celebration of the
2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

The show from China included paper cut Chinese folk art portraying sports from many areas of China.

The show featured Master Wang Yimeng, a well-known
Chinese calligrapher and painter, Master Lai Ming, and others.

BUDDHA’S ZEN

Buddha said: “I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that
of dust motes.  I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many
bricks and pebbles.  I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered
rags.  I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit,
and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot.  I
perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians.
I discern the highese conception of emancipation as a golden
brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones
as flowers appearing in one’s eyes.  I see meditation as a pillar of a
mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime.  I look upon the
judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon,   and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons.”
