When we look at children, we see that they are naive, which means innocent.The original meaning of naivety in the orient is that the truth is so true that it comes from the sky. Therefore, whatever ten thousand actions are created from the truth, without hindrance, they all benefit others, make
them happy, and are truly beautiful. That is why no matter how negative someone may be, when he sees a child his mind becomes good and is put at ease. When the child smiles, he smiles and feels so nice.

An innocent and naïve child does not have anything extraneous and is not
false in any way. When he is hungry, he eats, when he has to go to the
toilet, he goes, when he smiles, he smiles, and when he cries, he cries.
However, as a child grows up and sees this and that, his true body and mind get tainted. He builds his life according to his karma and situations. As a result, his innocence disappears.

Today I am sharing with you about a child’s innocence because some
professional art judges came to my recent painting exhibition in Paris. They were not practitioners, but they said the style of my paintings is naive and that the power and energy that are emanated from them are so strong and make the viewer feel so happy. They said that though the paintings are not created from a polished artistic technique, they are unique. They said the viewer is drawn into them and is rendered so comfortable.

Once one eliminates I, my, me and is in the world of Buddha (absolute,
truth), which is the world of truth, then one’s mind is only for others and
one’s actions are to benefit and make them happy. This is so not only in the creation of art, but in all things that sentient beings need. All actions
that come from the world of Buddha and the truth benefit others and make them happy.

I will continuously bless everyone who has one of my paintings.
