On 1st November 2019, Master Yun was invited to the University of Macau Choi Kai Yau College's 5th Anniversary Celebration. He also delivered an inspiring speech on that day.
Xinhua Group invited Prince Tesso to attend Choi Kai Yau College's 5th Anniversary Celebration. He asked Master Yun to attend this meaningful academic and cultural exchange at the University of Macau.
There were representatives from Asian countries: Cambodia, Japan, and China.
Below is an excerpt from Master Yun's speech at the event.
In Asia, art has a beautiful characteristic, and that's spirituality of art.
Cambodians believe that the traditional Apsara dance of Angkor can move the heavens to bring blessings to the world.
Whilst Japanese art is often regarded as being Zen. Zen is a sect of Buddhism, and it is believed that one can gain enlightenment from the simplest and most ordinary things.
The Chinese believe that the epitome of art is the way of "harmony between man and nature".
As "spirituality" is preserved in Asian art, Asians are exceptionally respectful towards tradition. Art and creativity are processes of improvement and enhancement, not weapons for reform and confrontation.
As "spirituality" is preserved in Asian art, we treat art with sincerity, love, respect, faith, and hope.
In good times, we celebrate with art. In bad times, we seek refuge in art, enduring cold nights in anticipation of the dawn of festivities.
It seems that now is the time when we Asians should gather in the halls of art and pray with conviction and hope.
We celebrate the moment. We also look forward to better days full of hope, peace, and prosperity.
There were also interesting, inspiring, and engaging dance performances that day.
Master Yun had been invited to speak in different countries; which will be next? Stay tuned.
