11月16號是佛光緣美術館惠中寺邀請胡達華老師來台中做釘畫推廣教育活動，我當然樂見其成，覺得這個是非常棒的活動，一方面推廣胡老師的釘畫，第二方面能讓釘畫傳承下去。所以我就居中協調了一下，胡老師知道這個屬於公益性質後，告訴我不用工資只要材料費。我算了一下這樣子的費用剛好符合惠中寺的材料費報價，缺少大腦的我當然沒有考慮得很仔細。結果讓胡老師自己支出高鐵的費用以及他的助教費用，讓我對他非常的不好意思。由於這課程外面根本很難遇到，所以報名參加的人都抱著非常新鮮的心情來學習，當然胡老師也沒讓大家失望。精彩的教學個別的指導，讓大家在敲擊樂的聲音中臉上都掛滿了笑容。
On November 16, the Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery at Huizhong Temple invited Master Hu Dahua to Taichung to conduct an educational workshop promoting his nail art. I was, of course, delighted to support such a wonderful initiative. On one hand, it helps promote Master Hu’s nail art; on the other, it ensures the art form’s continuity. I assisted with some coordination, and when Master Hu learned that the event was charitable in nature, he told me he would not charge a fee and would only require materials to be covered.
After calculating, I found that the costs matched the budget for materials provided by Huizhong Temple. However, my less-than-thorough consideration led to Master Hu covering his own high-speed rail fare and his assistant’s fees, leaving me feeling deeply apologetic. Since this kind of workshop is rarely encountered elsewhere, participants were all eager and excited to learn. Naturally, Master Hu did not disappoint. His engaging teaching and personalized guidance brought smiles to everyone’s faces as they worked joyfully to the rhythmic sounds of nails being hammered.
