NOSTALGIA
The overseas Au Lac fellow initiates, who respect and love The Supreme Master Ching Hai very much, often offer Her Au Lac snacks and fruits to express their devotion.

The golden dragon fruit, depicted in the painting, is a famous Au Lac fruit which can occasionally be found on the dinner table at the Hsihu Center. In Master's painting, the color of the pulp is distinctively black and white, with the crimson skin embellished by the quivering leaves. It gives an impression of being fresh as well as being deliciously sweet!

It is difficult to paint a still life, for if one is not careful, it can easily turn out dull and boring. Through Her paint brush, Master has captured the charm of "action in inaction", and given life to this Golden Dragon fruit, which comes from Her homeland Au Lac.
The Hsihu Center, Miaoli,Formosa. October 1990.
