Spring has come! Mother swan Pitu and her babies, let us go with the
Adventure Team Captain and the Hostess of the Royal Bridge Restaurant,
rowing Her canoe, to visit the inhabitants of Lake Amoura.
Let's go!
Gallery 1 (The Journey of a Sage in Lake Amoura)
A chronological list of Supreme Master Ching Hai's art exhibitions. Illustrating that living with the noble wilds can expand our hearts to merge with nature.
Let us follow the footsteps of the sage walking on the fallen leaves carpeted path. This wise lady picks up a camera and records the noble wilds at Lake Amoura, where their size and shape do not matter; what matters is their virtues.
Gallery 2 (Talking with the Noble Wilds)
Introducing the environment at Lake Amoura and revealing the difficulty of the photographic task.
In Amoura, there is a lake about the size of half a village. The inhabitants residing in the lake and lake side include the swans, wild geese, wild ducks, coots, squirrels, beavers, rabbits, turtles, rats, frogs, and fish.
The ancient design of the Fuxing granary features very high ceilings with tall pillars and dormer windows to facilitate good ventilation for the storage of grains.
Gallery 3 (The Wild Ducks)
Simple and very friendly in nature, with 8% noble quality. Following the hanging pictures, viewers enter a world of intimate love between the duck mother and her ducklings.
Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack! This is our way of greeting and saying best wishes to the Lady of the Bridge Restaurant. This is also how we select our dishes from the menu and say thank you. When our stomachs are pretty full, we just wag our tails and go straight into the lake for a swim. Our mother duck is an incarnation of the guardian angel.
Gallery 4 (The Wild Geese)
Family life of the wild geese, 20% NQ, featuring a touching story of adoption.
There is a very special duck named "Or", very colorful and friendly. He has been adopted by the geese parents as their darling baby. They are of royal blood! Princess Foo-Foo, Prince Yeou-Yeou, Miss Sey-Sey, and Mr. Konay.
Water comes from heaven to Earth.
The water flows forever and the mountains are always there.
All living beings thus prosper.
The longevity lamps are "Heavenly Rain" on the ceiling
and "Longevity" on the floor.

Gallery 5 (The Swans)
Noble quality generally at 20%. NQ (Noble Quality) is a measurement of virtue, an indication of the level of loving sacrifice.
Lady Amoura loves the swan family dearly. From Her first acquaintance with the mother swan ,Pitu, and Father, Sai-Sai, thus became good friends, observing them building their nest, hatching their babies tirelessly, and the swan feather carpeted path where the swan babies went to swim for the first time, to the day when the whole swan family swam across the lake to the Bridge Restaurant to enjoy the big feast prepared by the Lady, She had captured all these with Her camera as a witness of the noble sentiment of all parents. The photographer – Supreme Master Chinghai was the first one to be touched.
The swan feather carpeted path touches the heart of everyone. The swan parents bit off their own feathers to pave a way for the protection of the tender feet of their swan babies.
Playing in the water, hatching the eggs, new life coming out,
and a swan baby who couldn't come out in time.
Enjoying a big feast prepared by the Lady, teaching survival skills, the babies have grown up,
and the whole swan family swam in the glistening lake.

Gallery 8 (The Four Seasons of Amoura)
In the four seasons of Amoura, the grateful noble wilds are basking in love. Spring brings the love of God. In summer, the field is full of luxuriant plants. When autumn comes, the land is covered by a golden carpet, which also announces that winter is around the corner.
Gallery 10 (NQ Farm)
A rendezvous of animals of high NQ (Noble Quality) – The Dogs in My Life, The Birds in My Life, and The Noble Wilds.

The Ultimate Gallery (Infinite Art)
On display here are Supreme Master Ching Hai's poems and Longevity Lamps, also a musical video of Her two latest poems – Please Don't Go, and Please Wake Up. With infinite love and sincerity, the Poet implores all people to return to the Way of Love, and hand in hand create a Eden on Earth.
On exhibition together was the beautiful artwork from the Lugang Poetry, Calligraphy, and Painting Association and the Wenkai Poetry Society. Through their verses, the poets appealed to people to love the planet, love life, love the animals, and mitigate global warming. With beautiful strokes, the calligraphers put on paper the Chinese version of Supreme Master Ching Hai 's poems Please Wake Up and Please Don't Go. Painting artists also enhanced the expression with exquisite paintings.
Supreme Master Ching Hai's new poem – Please Wake Up written in 2009
The opening drama "Talking to Pitu"
The drama "Talking to Pitu" was performed at the opening ceremony of the "Eden on Earth – Protect Our Home with Love" exhibition on February 28, 2010 at the Fuxing Granary in Lugang, Changhua County. The humorous plot of the drama was about a dialogue between Pitu and a young man, Paul, which conveyed the message that the compassionate vegan diet is the simplest solution for global warming and the 2012 crisis. The year 2012 is a turning point for the elevation of spiritual consciousness and love quality. Stop killing the animals is an action displaying love through the plant-based diet.
Pitu the swan mother is a star in Supreme Master Ching Hai' s book The Noble Wilds. To protect the tender feet of her new born babies from getting hurt, Pitu bit off her feathers, one by one, to pave a path by the lakeside.
Impressions left by time: Yesterday - resplendent, today - perish
