Sweden: Bringing the Wonder of Dafa to Every School in the Country (Part II) (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net May 19, 2003) Two Swedish Falun Gong practitioners are
music teachers and although they live in different cities, they both share the
same wish: to bring the wonder of Dafa to every school in Sweden. One is a dance
teacher in Arvika, a city located in the west of Sweden, and the other is
teaching musical composition for the classical guitar in the northern city of
Kiruna. After more than a month's preparation and with strong support from the
Swedish Bureau of Education, the two teachers began to travel around Sweden to
perform "The Story of Lotus" at different schools. "The Story of Lotus" is a drama performance that
combines dance, music and poetry. The lotus was chosen because of its
characteristics: it grows out of mud but is able to maintain its purity without
becoming contaminated. This is similar to Falun Dafa practitioners' strong
determination to return to their original, true selves. The dance is also
intended to expose the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by
Jiang's regime in China. On May 5 2003, "The Story of Lotus" opened in
Sweden's third largest city, Malmo. The performance received a warm welcome from
the schools in that area. Source: http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200305/12493.html |
