Master Sun-Don Lee, the founder of GP DEVA, An artist whose work explores and manifests the power of life science.

Skillful at cello and violin, versed in literature, music, art and chess, Lee has taken since March, 1989 the position of President of Forshang Buddhism World Center and Da Yuan Association, dedicating his life to the spreading of the spirit of Buddhism - glory, perfection and goodness, to the world. His teaching reaches Republic of China, United States, Canada, East Europe (Bulgaria), Central Europe (German), West Europe (Britain, France), South Europe (Portugal), Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc.

Lee has written more than ten sets of Chinese ancient swordsmen novels under his pseudonym - Chi Ru (meaning a Confucian of unusual distinction). In 1999, after taking ten years off from writing, Lee published Ningfeng Tianxia (The World of the Frozen Wind), (Congeal the Wind and Embody the universe), which at one time ranked among top three Best Sellers in Kingstone Bookstore in Taiwan. This work has been praised for introducing a new Zen literary style to the martial arts novel genre.

In honor and in memory of his deeply indebted teacher, Lee specially composed, with no training on piano, a set of piano pieces - The Memoir of a Great Patriarch. A concert was held in Taipei National Concert Hall in 2003 especially for the world debut of these piano pieces.

The idea of totemic creation first came to Master Lee in deep meditation in 1998. At that time he realized that a simple composition of lines could suffice to perfectly capture the intricate interaction of causations and all transformations of energies in the universe.

His totemic creations are diverse in material and format: oil paintings, stone carvings, rope sculptures, and designs of space. The Yuan-Dao Kuan-Yin Temple (in Taiwan) and the interior designs of GP DEVA's worldwide direct stores (in Beverly Hills, Tokyo, and Taiwan) are all examples of Lee's creative work. His unique Energy Aesthetics has won national and international recognition, receiving media coverage in Japan, France, Spain, and the USA.

In 2004, Lee steps into the realm of fine arts, becoming the first contemporary artist to bring "totemic energy" to jewelry design.
