EXTENSION OF THE ARTWORK ARCHIVE

The collaboration of several dedicated individuals this year made it possible to digitize three new oil paintings: Rocky Coast on the Island of Syra (2), Winter Day – Finstertor in Görlitz, and Gulf of Itea (1).

In addition, we have two more color woodcuts by the Japanese artist Urushibara, inspired by motifs from Bô Yin Râ: Columns of the Parthenon and Winter Day in Attika.

All these new additions can be found under the sections: The Work –> Catalogue Raisonné –> Secular Paintings and are available as art prints, just like the previous ones.

GETTING IN THE MOOD FOR CHRISTMAS

Peace ? Peace !

As an external consequence and reflection of inner unrest, we always see war in this earthly world.

Now even closer to our doorstep.

It is time to turn to the inner source:

"I no longer seek peace, for I myself have become peace."

The solution is named—for the one who is already peace.

And for us on the way there? Words of Life can be helpful, sobering, and liberating from passive daydreaming:

"Longing for peace is a powerful guide, and woe to those who succumb to such guidance !"

Yes, who doesn't know this longing ?

And how can this persistent yearning search turn into attainment and fulfillment ?

"Peace to me means the security of one who has fought for the assurance that nothing can provoke him to battle anymore !"

"Peace is... tranquility within oneself,

                    freedom from every compulsion to new struggles,

                    the achieved power over everything that once was called an enemy and opponent !"

The inner peace and freedom gained in this way enable creation: "The prayer":

"Pray for those who hate and persecute you !"

"...us, seen from the standpoint of spiritually awakened, even our enemies and despisers,

as well as the farthest people we have never seen face to face, are spiritually connected just like our closest blood relatives, even if we cannot bring the same kind and degree of love to the unknown and those who have caused us great suffering—truly no divine law 'demands' this, since it inherently establishes and causes distinctiveness."

To find peace and tranquility within us, to then be capable of prayer "especially for all, that strives to become human on Earth, and strives to be human..."

—that is what we all may do,

and perhaps more or less able to do already,

especially in these darker days of the pre-Christmas season,

to, with the returning sun,

also helping to prepare the resurgence of the inner light in the hearts of all those in need.

We thank all who have supported the work of our foundation with their thoughts, love, and benevolent assistance.

Fulfilling all the oversight requirements and financial obligations is no minor undertaking.

We greatly appreciate it and look forward to your ongoing support and collaboration.

Stay up-to-date on our plans by subscribing to our email newsletter.

In 2024, our intentions include:

1. There, where readers have expressed the need for conversation with other readers, we want to assist and organize regional reader meetings. These will certainly not be massive gatherings at the beginning, and those who are willing and able to host five or a few more like-minded readers in their homes or could provide a suitable space for this purpose, please let us know. 

2. We want to participate in a special exhibition of the Görlitz Collections at the Kulturhistorisches Museum

in Görlitz.

Title: THE SEEKERS. The Art of the Jakob-Böhme-Bund (1920–1924).

Planned from May 4 to November 17 in 2024 at Kaisertrutz Görlitz.

In the years 1920 to 1924, one hundred years ago, the Jakob Böhme Association was active with substantial involvement from Bô Yin Râ as a collective of artists striving to reintegrate the spiritual into awareness within artistic creation. The exhibition will feature works by artists involved at that time (including Bô Yin Râ). Is it perhaps worth a trip ?

We wish you all the best, a blessed Christmas, and an inwardly joyful year
2024

Yours sincerely, GERMAN BÔ YIN RÂ-FOUNDATION

Dr. Manfred Werner

In 2024, we are once again delighted to present a calendar featuring images and 22 mantras by Bô Yin Râ. This calendar can be ordered free of charge, on a voluntary donation basis, via email, while supplies last.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

We wish you and your loved ones a blessed and joyful Christmas season and a good start to 2023.

For the coming year, we as the Foundation wish that we may continue to serve humanity in quiet continuity by preserving and publishing the work of Bô Yin Râ and thus help to increase happiness and joy.

This year, thanks to your donations and support, the Foundation has been able to digitize two more spiritual paintings and 14 drawings. We would be very delighted to receive your continued donations and active support!

Once again we created an illustrated calendar for the year 2023 with the 22 Mantras from the book Funken – Mantra-Praxis (22 German Mantras – The Use of Mantras). The calendar can be ordered free of charge here, valid while stocks last.

Furthermore, we are especially pleased to announce that the publishing house Magische Blätter has also started with the production of the audio book series Hortus Conclusus in German, and that the two books Das Buch vom Jenseits (The Book On Life Beyond) and Das Buch der Gespräche (The Book of Dialogues) of the textbook are now available as audio books. Surely also a very nice Christmas present! For more information, please visit the publisher's website.

Yours sincerly
German Bô Yin Râ Foundation

BÔ YIN RÂ – FNE ART PRINTS AVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Dear friends and supporters of our Foundation

It has been a long-cherished aspiration for us that the paintings of Bô Yin Râ, and especially his spiritual paintings, be made as accessible as possible to a wider network of people through high-quality, detailed and inexpensive fine art prints.

The first step has now been taken!
We have had the paintings that are accessible to us – some of which are privately owned – digitized.

The impetus for this move came from a reader who, with great commitment, not only organized and financed this, but also helped to clarify many unanswered questions in the process.

Once this was done it was up to us to organize the sales and here, too, we found some help. The Publishing House Verlag Magische Blätter made this happen free of charge. These digital prints can now be ordered at Verlag Magische Blätter. You will find all the important information there.

So you have both to thank that you can now purchase these painting prints at cost price!

The digitization of the paintings is also important to us as a security measure. Backups of these records have been made, and as an additional security measure, the backups have been stored at different locations, i.e. with you, the buyers.

We truly hope that other owners of original paintings will be encouraged to record and thus ensure the safety of their paintings through digitization and, by doing so, allow others to also appreciate and admire their treasures.

Everything that is needed in order for this to happen (collection, transport, insurance) has been tried and tested, and we guarantee that each step of this process works perfectly. If necessary we are happy to assume any costs incurred. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Neither the publisher nor the Foundation earn any money from the distribution of the fine art prints.

So if you would like to support the publisher or the Foundation in any way this would be greatly appreciated.

There is also the option to print it out yourself, however, this might mean a reduction in quality, color accuracy, print and paper quality, as well as the format and overall exactness.

With warm regards and best wishes for you

Sincerly yours,
Dr. M. Werner
