In a racky and dry area, among thorny shrubs, and dense hanging roots, bloom three golden flowers with magnificent beauty and fragrance: One has fully bloomed like a full moon, while others hold their buds like the glittering stars in a sky of serenity. In the upper right corner of the painting, the October sun shines forth, shedding its light throughout the universe. Autumn gently steps into the spacious world, into the heart of each person, and the petals of each flower, each leaf.

All respond as if they are dancing to a celestial melody woven by colorful strokes delivered through the love of a saintly artist, which is expressed through the chalk painting "Tien Shan Cactus". The chalk strokes spontaneously glide over the paper surface, creating tidal waves like "traces of the previous life", which appear in various wonderful colors that emerge magically, so plentiful and mysterious.

"Tien Shan Cactus" explicitly mirrors the talent of a gifted artist who quickly completed the painting like a miracle. It also depicts the normal, gentle and graceful gesture of an artist who produced the painting as though She were having fun, as though painting but not painting. In an instant, viewers are able to be in tune with the confidences communicated by the wild flower species, the brightness of hardened souls, and the maturity of natural scenery with each passing minute and second.

Surely, the group of "Tien Shan Cactus" plants must have felt exhilarated being the model for the brush work of a perfectly enlightened artist and also knowing its own bright future. Art admirers also receive overwhelming joys, while merging into supreme love and bathing in a great ocean full of peace and bliss. Lying on the rocky soil next to the cactus roofs is the "Ching Hai" signature, also in dark green, which simply and spontaneously merges with flowers, leaves and God.

By simply "transferring the stone into gold", Supreme Master Ching Hai has moved a wild flower shrub nearer to us, a shrub that is normally overlooked. She is just like a close friend who tells us words of wisdom so that we may gain enough strength to overcome our difficulties and leave the flower widely blooming even if life is very dry and rocky and the world is stormy.
