During the sacred occasion of Tsz Shan Monastery's 2024 Guan Yin Birthday Open Day, OVO GARDEN was honored to create a floral masterpiece blending nature and Zen wisdom in Lok Gar Pond. With the theme "A Mind Unburdened, Golden Bamboo Brings Peace," we transformed Buddhist teachings into visible artistic language.

🎋 Design Concept: Golden Bamboo Stands in Water, Worries Flow Away

The installation features golden bamboo stems standing upright in the center of Lok Gar Pond, forming a brilliant golden bamboo forest. Bamboo has always symbolized humility and resilience, while gold represents illumination and wisdom. By placing the bamboo in water, we incorporated the auspicious meaning of "bamboo reporting peace" while echoing the Buddhist concept of "a mind like clear water" from the Avatamsaka Sutra.

The bamboo was complemented with hydrangeas and yellow dancing orchids:
• Hydrangeas: Their layered blooms symbolize the coming together of causes and conditions
• Dancing Orchids: Their wind-swaying posture resembles celestial beings scattering flowers, adding dynamic beauty to the sacred space

As the autumn breeze blows, the entire installation appears to float mid-air, conveying the meditative state of "lightness and ease."

💧 Flowing Water Zen: A Visual Metaphor for Cleansing

The murmuring stream of Lok Gar Pond is not just a backdrop but an essential design element. By placing the installation within flowing water, we symbolize worldly troubles being carried away like falling leaves in the current. As the Diamond Sutra says, "Let the mind function without attaching," we hope every visitor can experience the cool relief of letting go through this dialogue between water, flowers, and bamboo.

🙏 Blessed Connections: Cross-regional Collaboration for Beauty

We are especially grateful for the blessed conditions that brought us together with Lively Creative Lab from Taiwan. Design Director Norman Yu and his team flew specially to Hong Kong to join OVO GARDEN in this dialogue between art and faith.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly during the two-day open day, perfectly embodying the Buddhist spirit of "benefiting self and others," collectively creating this exclusive photo spot for over ten thousand visitors.

🌸 Floral Art as Practice, Creation as Offering

For OVO GARDEN, every floral creation is part of our spiritual practice. In the sacred space of Tsz Shan Monastery, we make offerings with flowers and teach Dharma through art. May this golden bamboo forest:

• Bring cool relief to troubled minds

• Offer comfort to grieving hearts

• Provide inspiration to truth seekers
