  THE GREAT HEART SUTRA AS SPOKEN BY THE GAUTAMA BUDDHA HIMSELF Uncategorized | (0)

  Owing to the multiple complications of the intellectual cobwebs from mediocre academics of all times, many of the greatest documents in the history of China have failed to reach us in their original forms. One of the many wonderful things I did in my trip to Hong Kong was to actively search for such documents. I have found one, the Great Heart Sutra, in the words of the Gautama Buddha himself. The publication of The Great Heart Sutra came from the edict of the founder of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Tang Tai Tsung, or Tai Tsung the Great. It was ...

  THE UNCLOUDED MIND OF LEANDER S. HUGHES Uncategorized | (0)

  FIGURE 1: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES BW 001 FIGURE 2: ALPHASER SUMMER HILLS SERIES BW 002 Which one is the "before", and which "after?" Solution: BW 002 (FIGURE 2) is the "after", and also the final, final version of the Summer Hills Series,--I promise! Black and white compositions are tough. Color can distract and disguise. Not so with black and white! If you only look at the white,-- you can see that the total white form in 002 is now more anchored than ever, compared with the other versions in the same series. It does not take a genius to see it,-- even ...

  ACADEMIC: THY NAME IS IMPOSTOR! Uncategorized | (0)

  FIGURE 1: AWESOME WOMAN SMILING BY THE GREAT KNOX MARTIN Academic: thy name is Impostor! SOME YEARS AGO THE ALPHASEER WAS NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT IF HE'S GOT HIS MFA DEGREE (THE SO-CALLED MASTER OF FINE ART DEGREE,) HE MIGHT EVEN HAVE A SHOT AT "COLLEGE ART." THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, HE HAD BORROWED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND DUMPED IT ON A COMPLETELY GARBAGE PROGRAM OFFERED BY MXXD, OR MINNEAPOLIS COLLEGE OF XXXX. HERE ARE SOME MAJOR ABSURDITIES BEN HAD FOUND IN HIS "WONDERFUL" 2 YEAR MFA PROGRAM AT MXXD: The MXXD "mentor", a full- fledged old fart by profession, told my ...

  WHAT IS A COMPLETE WORK OF ART? Uncategorized | (0)

  FIGURE 1: EROTICA AMERICANA ********************************************************************************* FIGURE 2: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES X ********************************************************************************* FIGURE 3: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES XX ************************************************************************************** FIGURE 4: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES XXX ************************************** complete or incomplete? About 10 years ago the Alphaseer created the awesome alpha seer linocut 9, otherwise also known as Erotica Americana, (Figure 1) That was a new burst of energy as the style points to a direction that I have not traversed before. Without a doubt, the metaphors are awesome. However, it was just an image sitting on an incomplete composition. In other words, something is missing. Perfection has not been achieved yet, even though the metaphors are gorgeous. Composition is ...

  THE FLOW OF THE QI IN GREAT ART Uncategorized | (0)

  Figure 1: ALPHASEER SATYR X 1 (ABOVE) AND ALPHASEER SATYR X2 (BELOW) Good compositions require a perfect flow of the qi, somewhat like Fung Shui. This version, X2 here, appears to be a somewhat more fluent way of expressing almost identical visual metaphors than an earlier composition, X1. THE FOLLOWING COMMENT IS FROM THE GREAT AMERICAN MASTER KNOX MARTIN (www.knoxmartin.com). Reply Knox to me show details Dec 9 (4 days ago) ----- Original Message ----- ELEGENT BEAUTY,  FLOWING------SEX!    KNOX -- THE ALPHA SEER

  THE DECISION FROM A COMMITTEE OF FOOLS IS FOOLISH Uncategorized | (0)

  Knox BRILLIANT! KNOX 1:35 PM (3 hours ago) Ben Lau THANK YOU DEAREST TEACHER! 4:00 PM (57 minutes ago) Reply show details 4:44 PM (12 minutes ago) KNOX REFERS TO THE PAINTING IN THE ATTACHMENT WHEN HE SAYS "BRILLIANT!"-- NOT THE WORDS. ALL WORDS ARE WORTHLESS, EVEN WITH THE BUDDHA'S VERY OWN.(THAT IS WHY HE ANNULS THEM AS SOON THEY COME ROLLING OUT OF HIS MOUTH.) WHEN A COMMITTEE OF FOOLS PRAISE ANOTHER YOU KNOW THE PRAISE IS RELATIVE AND WORTHLESS. A SMART EXAMPLE IS THE NOBEL PRIZE AWARD,--AND TO AWARD A WARTIME PRESIDENT THE PEACE PRIZE,-- WHAT FOOLS WILL DO THAT? THE PRAISE OF A SINGULAR GENIUS, ON ...

  TO HAVE VS.TO BE Uncategorized | (0)

  FIGURE 1: CAT BEN LAU "TO HAVE" MUST NOT BE CONFUSED WITH "TO BE." THE ESSAY BELOW SERVES TO CLARIFY THIS TRAGIC CONFUSION IN THE POSTMODERN WORLD. FIRST OFF, WRONG MEDITATION IS WORSE THAN NO MEDITATION AT ALL! THE RIGHT MEDITATION WILL GET YOU THROUGH LIFE AS IF EVEN ONE TINY SECOND IS ETERNITY, ALTHOUGH IN THE ULTIMATE REALITY, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER, -- I.E. THERE IS NEITHER SUCH THING AS " ONE TINY SECOND" NOR "ETERNITY"! THE MIND CONSTANTLY GIVES FALSE REALITY TO ITS OWN IMAGINING SO IT MAY HAVE AN ABODE AND A ...

  MASTER BEN LAU SAYS: Uncategorized | (0)

  MASTER BEN LAU'S Statement (HOW THE ART STUDENT SHOULD LOOK AT ART) The composition of a painting is the orchestration of profound calligraphic elements with an aim to produce FORMAL metaphors with harmonious perfection. Asking an art student to focus on the black and white, Master Ben Lau encourages him/her to examine the core of past masterpiece compositions in their calligraphic vitality, allowing the poetry in the forms to come through, thereby nourishing his/her spirit as a result. The first question to be asked is: "Who may be called an art student?" With the exception of the naturally born geniuses,-- those who have the potential ...
