Spring's Greeting Cards

 

SPRING  LIAO 

My name is Spring Liao and I am the sole owner of this website.  I am a Chinese-American woman who was born and raised in Taiwan, came to the United States in 1972,  and is currently residing in California.   With a passion for sharing the feeling in my heart, and with the inspiration and encouragement  from Scholars of www.fengshuibestbuy.com, I wish to sell  the prints for those Chinese brush paintings that I had done in years of 1972, 1992, 1995 and 2003 on the internet.  With the supports and assistance from my relatives and friends, my dream finally became reality in October of 2003.

During Aug. - Oct. 2003, with the inspiration from Feng Shui Scholars I did those auspicious paintings for Feng Shui greeting cards.  And, in October of 2003 I started the building of this website myself  with  a great deal of pleasure and joy.  I can expect that you will be excited about my creation.

I have been a reader and subscriber to "American Astrology" and "Dell Horoscope" magazines since my son, who is my only child, died of Leukemia at age of eight, in year of 1982.  Western astrology has helped me understand my family, my own life, and my future.  The knowledge and understanding gained through astrological birth chart interpretation has helped me develop a great interest in spiritual things.

The celebration of Lunar New Year of Monkey on January 22, 2004, gave me the good energy to start  adding the pages for "Basic Western Astrology."  It is dedicated to those who have a genuine interest in learning the basics of Astrology.  With an Astrological Birth Chart, you  may start yourself on the path of astrological self-discovery. 

On April 23, 2004,  with the inspiration from a friend of mine, I added the pages of "Bodhidarma" who was the founder of Chinese Chan Buddhism, the founder of Shaolin Gong-Fu School, and the father of Japanese Zen Buddhism. 

This friend also inspires me to do the Chinese ink painting of  "Bodhidarma" who represents wisdom and compassion, strong will and perseverance, meditation and mind development, and unity of body and spirit.

On September 14, 2004, transiting Mars (actions) conjunct the New Moon (new beginning) formed favorable aspects to the natal Sun (confidence) and the progressed Mercury (communication) in my western astrological birth chart.  These beneficial transits gave me the good energy and enthusiasm to start a significant project -- adding I CHING - THE BOOK OF CHANGES to my website.  For those familiar with the I CHING, mine will open some new insights and discoveries in a manner different from others.  For those new to the I CHING, enjoy learning this inexhaustible source of wisdom.

Life is full of pain.  Life is also full of choices.  Accepting the pain is a strength , not a failure.  When things fall apart, be fearless in difficult times, and choose to turn the crisis into an opportunity for spiritual growth.  Every time you overcome an obstacle, your mind gets stronger.  So the obstacles are not really obstacles; they are there to help you get stronger.

Suffering is a part of our growing process.  Each time when we suffer, part of our karmic  debts melt away like the snow in the sun.  And, we do have the power to transform and heal the sufferings. (Please view Praise of the Buddha  on how to attain the freedom of mind and spirit.)  No matter how much great joys you enjoyed, the sum of your gain, joy, success and happiness is always smaller than the sum of loss, aging, sickness and death.  So, don't forget your spiritual life.  May you find  joy, peace and love on your spiritual path toward enlightenment.
