The beauty of art emanates from the soul, while the beauty of the soul reflects one’s internal cultivation. In Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang’s “Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang Flower and Bird Painting Album,” we are presented with a delightful sense of freshness and warmth, coupled with a profound and uplifting force. Let’s savor the experience of “Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang Flower and Bird Painting Album” together and witness the extraordinary talent and profound moral character of the artist!

Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang’s works are characterized by strong and powerful brushstrokes, showcasing a rich and diverse palette, and exuding a poetic and artistic charm. Each piece is infused with sunlight, radiating sincerity, simplicity, and a delightful sense of innocence and romance. As we immerse ourselves in Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang’s “Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang Flower and Bird Painting Album,” we can deeply sense the artist’s love and compassion for animals. Each artwork invites us into a transcendent dialogue with a sage-like presence, revealing the captivating allure of art!

Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang is brimming with compassion and care for all living beings, be it humans or animals, even including honeybees that can sting. She treats each of them with equal and attentive concern.

A few years ago, bees would frequently visit Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang’s residence. The first time they built a hive at her home, they even stung someone. Some people suggested removing the beehive to prevent further harm, but Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang firmly disagreed. She felt deep empathy for the bees, as they had finally found a shelter from wind and rain. She made it clear that if they had to leave, the bees should not be harmed. In fact, she would rather move out herself than cause suffering to the bees. As a result, Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang and her family decided to move to her art studio to live.

Another incident involving Professor Wang showcases her compassionate nature when she saved a butterfly that had fallen into the water. Concerned about the butterfly’s well-being, she took it home and cared for it for a few days until it was fully recovered, and only then did she release it back into the wild.

The compassionate and kind professor frequently utilizes the money earned from selling her paintings to release captured living beings, such as birds, fish, and more. On numerous occasions, she has purchased large quantities of fish, sometimes weighing several cabins or even tens of tons, to set them free. There have been instances where she bought an entire boat-load of fish from a large fishing vessel, ensuring their liberation and return to their natural habitats.

I couldn’t help but ponder: When two conflicting interests clash, do we prioritize the welfare of others or our own interests first? It’s a challenging question, and not many people in this world can genuinely put the welfare of others before their own. However, Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang managed to do just that. She consistently places the well-being of all beings ahead of her own interests. Her unwavering compassion and greatness are truly remarkable and serve as an inspiring example for us all.

In daily life, Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang is very frugal. She is reluctant to waste even the water used for daily living tasks, such as washing rice or clothes. She often collects and saves the used water to water the garden or flush the toilet. Additionally, Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang frequently donates his own salary to help those in need. When asked by students, “You can earn a lot of money from selling just one of your artworks, so why are you still so frugal?” At moments like these, Professor Yu Hua Shou Zhi Wang advises the students to cherish their blessings and not to waste anything. He encourages them to use the money saved from being frugal to support more people who are facing difficulties.

The well-known saying, “Deeply hidden talent not easily revealed” aptly describes Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s morality and inner refinement. The characteristics of an artist’s paintings essentially reflect the character of the painter. From the paintings above you can find humility, inner peace, harmony and noble morality of professor Wang.

Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang is the Lifetime Honorary Chairwoman of the International Art Museum of America. The museum has a dedicated gallery exhibiting her artworks.

At the International Art Museum of America in downtown San Francisco, there is a special exhibition room, dedicated to Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang. This installation was established in 2018, containing a variety of water and ink paintings as wells as sketches. Professor Wang’s acclaimed works have been displayed all over the world, including an exhibition at Congress in 2008, where they called her work a ‘treasure of the world’. In 2019, Professor Wang’s art was exhibited at Shanghai Exhibition Center in China and the Louvre Museum in Paris. An art critic Aude de Kerros praised this event in Paris, saying ‘I have curated and critiqued so many art exhibitions, yet I have never seen an exhibition like this where all the guests are so touched and amazed by the art.’ Following the Paris exhibition, Professor Peter Drake, the Provost of the New York Academy of Art, presented a certificate to Professor Wang, recognizing her extraordinary contributions to representational and abstract art. In December 2020, the Chairman of Centre for Peace in United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Guy Djoken awarded an “International First-Class Artist” title to Professor Wang for her accomplishment. Professor Wang is the only Asian artist who has ever received such a title. On December 29th 2020, Chairman Guy Djoken came to the museum to personally present the title certificate to Professor Wang.

Many people are aware that Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang is a world-renowned artist. However, the true identity of Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang is revealed as Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva. She embodies great wisdom and compassion, noble morality, kindness, altruism, and selflessness in a perfect manner. She always considers other people’s well-being and is humble and very approachable. The compassion and kindness of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, are pure and flawless. For example, in 2015, someone sneaked into the International Art Museum of America in San Francisco and tried to steal an artwork that had been acclaimed by the World Federation of UNESCO (WFUCA). This person was arrested by the police on site and subsequently detained. Since the artwork that he tried to steal was one of Fomu’s masterpieces, the court repeatedly requested Fomu to provide a valuation of the artwork, so that they could use her valuation to determinethe term for sentencing. When Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, knew about this person’s distress, She provided a statement saying that the artwork was rather ordinary and had no value. The court had no way of sentencing the person to any term and had to release him.

Another time, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, saved a butterfly that had fallen into the water. Worried about the butterfly’s safety, Fomu brought it home and kept it for a few days to make sure the butterfly is well-recovered before letting it fly away. Fomu relentlessly led disciples to conduct life-releases. She went every week to woodlands to feed ducks and birds and never missed a week. She paid for it with Her own money and never accepted offerings from Buddhist disciples. Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, is well known for Her diligence and thriftiness. For many decades, the noble Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, always cooked Her own meals and washed Her own clothes. She never entrusted others to do Her chores. She would save the food that She could not finish eating and finish it the next day or two. She was never wasteful. Usually, Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, would even save the water that She did not finish drinking, the water used for washing vegetables or hands, or wastewater from the filter and use it for irrigating flowers or flushing toilet. Through Her deeds, the Great Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, was teaching us how to start with the small things, cherish our good fortune, and actualize our cultivation practices.It is impossible to recount all the numerous exemplary deeds of Fomu.

Wherever Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, went, dragon Dharma protectors were present, and holy miracles manifested. When Fomu performed initiation and transmitted Dharma, holy states were manifested. For example, at the Antelope Valley, Fomu’s hat turned into a black garuda. In New Jersey, the hair of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva, suddenly went up and wrapped around a tall building in Manhattan on the opposite shore. In San Francisco, a twin Buddha light suddenly appeared, centered around where Fomu stood. All cultivators are touched by the compassion and morality of Fomu, Holy Mother the Great Mahasattva.

Dr. Yuhua Shouzhi Wang’s Paintings and Achievements

Professor Yuhua Shouzhi Wang is a world-renowned painter. Throughout Asia, she is the only artist to whom the New York Academy of Art conferred the title of international preeminent artist of first class standing. 

The art world has classified the quality of ink painting into four different levels: Class of Proficiency, Class of Wonderment, Class of Divinity, and Class of Ease. Artwork of the Class of Proficiency has the ability to present a resemblance of objective reality, achieving likeness in form. This is the first stage of artistic creation. The art world calls it the stage of sketching. This is a stage that an artist cannot skip, yet they also cannot remain at this status quo, because this is an elementary stage. The next level is the Class of Wonderment. Artworks of this Class demonstrates highly skilled techniques. The artist is able to paint anything at will without revealing any trace of effort. However, one also cannot remain stagnant at this stage.

The next level after the Class of Wonderment is the Class of Divinity where the art carries likeness of ‘form’ and likeness of ‘spirit.’ In ink painting, the highest state of accomplishment is the Class of Ease where the artist attains natural ease by using simple brushstrokes to fully capture the form. With the most succinct brushwork and the most superb technique, the artist depicts objective reality and attains a state of miraculousness where both form and spirit are fully captured. This is the kind of art that viewers never get tired of appreciating; it leaves a wonderful aftertaste. There are only about a dozen people in the history of art who have attained such a class.
