Taiwan: Inside and Outside the Classroom at Taipei's Minghui School (Photos)
By Dafa practitioners in Taiwan Each time it convenes, the Taipei Minghui School holds classes from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. There
are four sessions, and each lasts 50 minutes. The courses are arranged generally as follows: two
classes are for Fa-study. One is for various arts, such as music, fine art, handiwork, films and
storytelling. The last class is for practicing the Falun Dafa exercises. A volunteer teacher tells the story of Emperor Tang
Taizong A volunteer teacher tells the story of "Yanhui Loses His
Hat" Young practitioners listen attentively A young practitioner demonstrates paper folding Young practitioners practice Falun Dafa exercises A volunteer teacher teaches the exercises While studying the Fa, as the rate of progress is different, students study the Fa in their
respective classrooms. While having Arts class, junior, middle and senior students have the class at
the same classroom. In this class, a teacher told the story of Emperor Tang Taizong, and led the
young practitioners to recite a poem "In memory of Chang'an" from Hong Yin. Another
teacher told the story of "Yanhui Loses His Hat." Young practitioners listened attentively
and amusingly. Teachers appropriately applied the principle of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" while telling the stories. Young practitioners then
actively gave their opinions on certain plots. While having Arts class, each young practitioner was
given a piece of colored paper, and a young practitioner got on the stage to demonstrate to everyone
how to fold lotus flowers. Some practitioners were very soon able to do on the spot and some wanted
to continue practicing after returning home. In order to spread the Fa and clarify the truth, in the last class, teachers led young
practitioners to Chung-Cheng Memorial Hall to do the exercises. Volunteer teachers exchange opinions While doing the exercises, one or two teachers corrected young practitioners' movements and
taught the exercises, other volunteer teachers took this opportunity to exchange opinions on the
courses set up at Minghui School and share experiences of the Winter Camp organized last month. They
also thought of planning Summer Camp earlier. Everyone try hard to make the Minghui School better in
every aspect. |
