羅馬天主教教宗良十四世

(Pope Leo XIV)

於2026年4月在聖伯多祿大教堂

(St. Peter's Basilica)

和平祈禱守夜活動中說:

「不要再崇拜自我與金錢!不要再炫耀權力!

不要再有戰爭!

真正的力量體現於為生命服務。」


他斥責煽動戰爭者,

呼籲各國領袖停止戰火。

他說:

「天主不祝福任何衝突」,

絕不站在投擲炸彈的一方。

國際社會有道德責任

在戰爭無法挽回前予以制止。」

「 暴力永遠不是正確的選擇。」

「 我沉痛的呼籲以和平行動

替代流血衝突,

治癒戰爭帶來的長遠創傷。」



的確。

科技愈發達、物質愈文明。

然而心靈若是日益空虛⋯

那將會是人類無法承受的重。


時至今日,人類正走向毀滅的

不歸路 -

貪婪、自私、強權霸凌、

戰爭、道德淪喪的邪惡深淵。


唯有回歸善良本性,

消除貪欲私心,

追求和平,順應天道,

社會才會有真正的自由與安樂。


Pope Leo XIV of the Roman Catholic Church was held at St. Peter's Cathedral in April 2026. Peter's Basilica) said in the peace prayer wake :


“ Stop worshipping the self and money! 

No more flaunting power! 

No more war! 

True strength is found in serving life. “

He rebuked those who incited 

the war,

Call on the leaders of all countries to stop the war.

“ Help us to proclaim clearly that

God does not bless any conflict, 

and that the disciples of Christ, the King of Peace, never stand on the side of those 

who held swords yesterday and throw bombs today “


“ Violence is never

 the right choice. “


" I painfully appeal to all parties involved to take on their moral responsibility to stop the vicious cycle of violence before it becomes an irremediable abyss! " 



Definitely,

The more science and technology 

are developed 

and the more material

civilisation is.

However, if the heart is increasing empty…

The more unbearable it will be.


Today, human beings are on the road of 

no return to destruction -

The abyss of evil of power bullying,

 war, greedy, selfish and moral degradation.


Only to return to the good nature,

eliminate greed and selfishness,

pursue peace 

and manifestation of natural law,

there will be real freedom 

and peace in society.

墨爾本海德現代藝術博物館 - Heide Museum of Modern Art

墨爾本海德現代藝術博物館

是澳洲重要的現代藝術園區,

位於 Bulleen,由五個畫廊、

六萬平方米的雕塑公園組成。


海德源於1934年,

John and Sunday Reed的家。

( 此後發展成為澳大利亞最重要的

文化機構之一 )

Reed 向Sidney Nolan、

Albert Tucker、Joy Hester、

John Perceval 、Danila 

與Vassilieff 開放了他們的家。 

培養了許多藝術家、作家。

他們為創作和推廣現代藝術、

文學領域和澳大利亞文化

做出了莫大的支持。

被人們銘記為現代藝術和文學的

貢獻者。


《給男孩養一隻狗,然後結束一天》

這單元,令我印象深刻。

作者Badra Aji(1985年出生於印度尼西亞)

試圖尋找一個失蹤的同父異母的妹妹 

(他父親外遇的結果 )。

從西方的角度來看,業力會影響個人,

但對印尼人來說,這是一種共同的經歷,

孩子會受父母或祖先的錯誤而影響業力。

這種思想正呼應了 《易經·坤卦·文言》:

「積善之家,必有餘慶;積不善之家,必有餘殃」。

行善之家留給子孫的庇蔭(德澤與福報)

必會長久富足,

因果報應與積德行善對後代影響至深。


此外

John de Burgh Perceval(1923-2000)

一位30年代自學、天才畫家,

他是人文主義,

童年記憶、戰爭影響

與對自然環境的省思,

呈現在他的繪畫、素描和陶瓷中。


展出的第一部分揭示了Perceval

與其他海德藝術家一起透過當代城市主題

探索人類狀況,

標誌著澳大利亞藝術擺脫景觀傳統的新方向。 

他從歐洲現代藝術運動中找到靈感。

最引人注目的是超現實主義,

其重點是潛意識和主觀性,

而不是代表世界的自然主義方式。

許多作品以生活經驗為基礎,

同時也傳達童年的心境

和戰時的焦慮。 


50年代初,Perceval

專注於在Arthur Merric Boyd Pottery的

陶瓷習作。

1954年,

他和家人搬到墨爾本郊區坎特伯雷後,

他的許多風景畫傳遞了

對於地方的體驗,

而不是直接的觀察。 

風景的存在不是被支配或馴服的。

而是被所有感官理解的。


他將繪畫、陶瓷多元藝術

融入日常生活,

領引人們看到生活的美學。


倘佯在墨爾本四月天。

翩然飄落的楓紅,

捎來淡淡的秋意。



Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne

It is an important modern art park in Australia.

Located in Bulleen, 

there are five galleries,

it consists of a sculpture park of 60,000 square metres.


Heide originated in 1934,

it has been John and Sunday Reed's home.

(Since then, it has developed into Australia's most important

one of the cultural institutions)


Reed opened their home to 

artists Sidney Nolan,

 Albert Tucker, Joy Hester, 

John Perceval and Danila Vassilieff.

Cultivated many artists and writers.

They supported, created and promoted modern art, literature and Australian culture.

Remembered as modern art and literature contributor.


I was impressed by the unit of "Raising a Dog for a Boy and Ending the Day".

The author Badra Aji (born in Indonesia 

in 1985) 

is trying to find a missing half-sister

 (the result of his father's affair).

From a Western perspective, 

karma affects individuals, 

but for Indonesians, 

this is a common experience. 

Children will be affected 

by the mistakes of their parents or ancestors.

This idea echos the Book of Changes · 

Kun Horoscope · Wenyan :

 "If you accumulate good people, you will have a happy family; 

if you accumulate bad things, you will have aftermath."

The protection (virtue and blessing) left to the children by the family of doing good deeds will be rich for a long time.

Karma and retribution and accumulation of virtue and good deeds have a profound impact on future generations.


In addition

John de Burgh Perceval (1923-2000)

A self-taid and talented painter in the 1930s,

he is a humanist,

childhood memories and the impact of war

reflect on the natural environment,

it is presented in his paintings, 

sketches and ceramics.


The first part of the exhibition reveals Perceval -

Together with other Hyde artists, 

explore the human situation through the theme of contemporary cities.

It made a new direction for Australian art 

to get rid of the landscape tradition.

He found inspiration from the European modern art movement.

The most eye-catching thing is surrealism.

The focus is on subconsciousness and subjectivity,

instead of representing the naturalistic way of the world.

Many works are based on life experience,

at the same time, it also conveys the state 

of mind of his childhood.

And the anxiety during the war.


In the early 1950s, 

Perceval

focus on the ceramic practice in Arthur Merric Boyd Pottery.

In 1954, after he moved to Canterbury 

in the suburbs of Melbourne with his family,

many of his landscape paintings 

have been passed on.

For the local experience,

Instead of direct observation.

The existence of the landscape is not dominated or tamed.

It is understood by all senses.


He integrated painting and ceramics 

into his daily life.

Lead people to see the aesthetics of life.


Wandering around Melbourne in April .

The red maple leaves falling gracefully,

It brings a touch of autumn.
