POST 255 Summer is now right here! All my best wishes for a great SUMMER SEASON, lots of pleasant activities and travels . If you see a good mural painting, elsewhere, please take a picture and share with us (vietchidao@gmail) Any other subjects will be, of course, also greatly appreciated. Sure! LA ROCHELLE! A small city but very nice, very rich in History. Last May, from Bordeaux I went to La Rochelle by… bus! Surprisingly cheap. The bus is   comfortable and the trip not affected by the turmoil /strike and Nuit Debout movement at that time in France. If you surf on the web you could easily find many interesting subjects related to the History of La Rochelle, such as: -Knights Templar -Hundred Years' War -French Wars of Religion -Huguenot rebellions - Revolt of Soubise (1625) - Siege of La Rochelle (1627–1628) - La Rochelle and the New World - Second World War In the evening going around deserted old streets next to busy places at the harbor where full of people in restaurants and coffee shops, I felt like walking on a line that divides the two France: the going forward and the going backward. The next day, early morning I discovered a nice park, amazingly long and well maintained. So I found there an ideal place for my daily training of that beautiful day and for the preparation to the coming workshop in Cestas, near Bordeaux. g.m   (25 June 2016)

POST 254 DAILY ONE MINUTE TRAINING: We offer you the posture EAGLE and SNAKE here  attached . From the previous Post 253 we have received several answers and a beautiful 'trompe l'oeil' picture from Luisa and another of Corfu from Paola; it’s a pleasure to share all that with you in this post. Receiving these pictures give us the idea to ask all of you to send us (vietchidao@gmail.com) some MURAL PICTURES if you encounter it in your city or elsewhere; it would be a great occasion  to all of us to admire ART in another specific field: THE MURAL ART. I feel MURAL ART is not just Art. It is also social and environmental communication through images, and it is open to everyone who pass by, and it talk a lot about many different things right there or elsewhere. g.m phan hoang (QUESTION in the previous post)Do you see it as a painting on a wall, or as a wall covered by a painting in order to hide its real nature?  ANSWERS. ​ Edio Tue-Chu. I see it as a painting on the wall​ Iva Tue Y. For me it is a beautiful mural.  Every wall can be painted with a mural. A beautiful mural can make more beautiful any wall and any place. Thanks  Paola  Bình Lâm. I see it as a beautiful painting done to beautify an ugly wall in a context rather bleak. The subject seems alien environment. I send you a photo taken in Corfu of a mural that, however, in my opinion, is integrated with the wall and the context where it was made, become part of the wall. Luisa- Nhị Dịêp Hello GM , I think it's a beautiful painting on a large surface . If the author had wanted to create an illusion it would at least have to cover the entire surface , but perhaps he did not have a high enough scale or has not completed the work .... I enclose a photo of a mural of Patrick Commecy , where I've seen the intent to conceal the true nature of the surface .         =================================== HERE ARE SOME MORE MURAL PICTURES  FROM LA ROCHELLE (France), taken in May 2016.

DAILY EXERCISE: Posture VISION and TRUE MIND. 
Picture: a mural in La Rochelle, France

Blog www.clubmasterhoang.blogspot.com POST 253 – 05JUNE2016 VISION AND TRUE MIND Viễn-Kiến Chân-Tâm

VISION AND TRUE MIND In this Post 253 I would like to offer you a new posture for your ONE MINUTE daily training (see picture attached): Posture VISION AND TRUE MIND. Stay still for one minute in this position is somewhat a physical hard training if you do it for the first time. But keep your breathing deep and your mind focused on the mental aspect of this posture during this one minute  could be much harder a challenge. TRUE MIND (Chân-Tâm)  is one subject among the most discussed subjects in the circles of Zen practice and Zen philosophy. Let people continue to discuss their way; we assume, for the purpose of our training, that True Mind could be the mind of vision, the mind which could help us see beyond the limit of what is presented to us: See the real nature of things. Please see the attached picture (taken in Egypt 1993) and try to stay still for one minute in that posture. I also attached to this Post 253 a picture of a mural painting I have recently taken at La Rochelle, a nice town in France. This is, of course, a beautiful mural, but the question is: Do you see it as a painting on a wall, or as a wall covered by a painting in order to hide its real nature?   (please give your answer via email: vietchidao@gmail.com) g.m phan hoang
