Dorje Chang Buddha Ⅲ Cultural and Art Museum, expressed the hope that through this event, it could raise awareness among the public about students with artistic talents and provide them with better development opportunities and a more professional educational environment.
On the day of the event, the H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha Ⅲ Cultural and Art Museum opened to the public, showcasing the students' artworks and the exquisite rhymed sculptures created by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha Ⅲ, including the masterpiece "A Stone's Arrogance". This rhymed sculpture highlights artistic conception, displaying exquisite craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and a magnificent appearance, revealing a transcendent and dreamlike beauty that goes beyond nature. The use of colors and the far-reaching artistic conception give people a sense of being detached from the world. The grandeur and layered colors of the artwork make each piece a world of its own, which is why it is treasured as a unique gem by the art museum. In addition, other rhymed sculptures by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha Ⅲ, such as "A Pillar Holding Up the Sky", were also exhibited. The H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha Ⅲ Cultural and Art Museum has a rich collection of Chinese and Western artworks, including Chinese paintings, Western-style paintings, calligraphy, and rhymed sculptures. In addition, the museum also houses several poems by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha Ⅲ.
