The monk asked, “Where are you from?” I replied, “The sea of suffering.” “Where would you go?” “A pure land.” The monk said, “A pure land may be filled with sufferings.” And I replied, “As long as you have a bright mind, even sufferings will make you feel sweet.” I have experienced a lot of things and don’t want to pursue anything vulgar or materialistic. “So, what do you want really in your life?” I ask myself. The answer is “a world of ease and freedom, a kind of spiritual tranquility.” Tea is an integral part of our home, our life and our family. You can stay indoors or in the front yard, with a cup of tea in your hand. You can also walk barefoot on the verdant lawn. Beside the lawn stands a landscape pond; and the pond boasts a translucent floor, which turns out the glass roof of a basement. The rippling water adds a dynamic touch to the entire space. As you look down, a spiral staircase and its glass cantilever entrance will come into sight. The basement simply lies at the end of the staircase. Indeed, the glass roof makes the space look like a surreal place, a wonderland. There is a miniature landscape at the gate of each villa. Get in and you will see the foyer connected with the transparent side hall. As you walk, light and shade will alternate. As you keep on walking, each and every turn will create a unique artwork, a blend of architecture and nature. The side hall is an ideal place to relax and unwind. You can receive guests or friends here. Also, you can stay alone here to let your mind wander freely. The third floor is home to the main bedrooms. Building materials are applied ingenuously to create a refined, cozy and simple ambience for you. Through the cantilever glass corridor, you can see the lady nursing flowers. She often invites her close friends to come here and relish tea, enjoying the spring flowers or autumn branches. At any time of year, the plants or trees embody a beauty of freedom and ease. Delve into the scent of the flowers and you will discover life is different now. The underground second floor is the man’s studio. On one side, there is a cantilever bird-shaped tea room. That’s a private nook for the artist. He can stay in the little corner, letting his imagination run wild. He can compose great works of art therein. The sun goes down in a blaze of glory, casting a golden hue over the courtyard. Some fish swim in the pond attracting birds. The villa has morning bells, a fresh lunch and more.
