'Petals of Peace' Cultural Performance, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia (Photos) (Clearwisdom.net) The Sunshine Plaza came alive with
song and dance, as the ¡®Petals of Peace' Cultural Event, showcasing the beauty
of traditional Chinese dance, music and Falun Dafa exercises delighted shoppers
at the Sunshine Coast's largest Shopping Centre on Jan 3, 2004. This event
allowed hundreds of people to witness the beauty of Falun Dafa through our
presentation and heartfelt message. The cultural event was dedicated to 3-year-old
Australian-Chinese girl named Fadu who lost her father due to Falun Dafa's
persecution in China. A brightly coloured pink and gold backdrop read
"Petals of Peace" and "Falun Dafa around the world" and
colourful traditional costumes adorned the stage. The highlights of the
entertainment included Chinese dances such as the Lotus dance, Umbrella dance,
and Fan dance. An ensemble of four Western practitioners performed several
original compositions including the inspirational song "Petals of
Peace", with the theme of compassion for all children, specifically written
for the ¡®Petals of Peace' project. Another piece, "Call to Heart",
offers a message of hope, calling to the world's people to find compassion in
their hearts for the millions of innocent people in China. During the song,
three practitioners performed a moving dance depicting the beauty of Falun Dafa
in contrast to the brutal persecution. Adults and children alike were delighted to take home a
beautiful lotus flower as a reminder of the event. The cultural event was a part
of the ¡®Petals of Peace' initiative that we have been sharing with our local
community over recent months. We have held numerous ¡®Petals of Peace' origami lotus
folding workshops and displays at local libraries, primary schools and shopping
centres. Both young and old within our local community have enjoyed folding the
paper lotus flowers with the message of peace for a brighter future for all
children still living under the persecution of Falun Dafa in China. This approach of highlighting little Fadu's story (the
inspiration behind the ¡®Petals of Peace' project) has quite naturally led into
clarifying the facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa in China in a deep and
effective way. People's hearts are truly touched when they hear about little
Fadu's father's tragic loss of life for simply wanting to uphold the principles
of ¡®Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance'. The beauty of Falun Dafa certainly moved the hearts of many
people at this grand event. Posting date: 1/7/2004
