By Taiwan Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Yunqing
(Clearwisdom.net) On May 29, 2004, Taiwan legislator Lu Xiuyan hosted "Do
something for Moms - Compassion Community Fair" on Jingguolinyuan Avenue in
Taichung City. From a children's drawing contest to a model mom's award
ceremony, from a charity bazaar and free medical consultation to talent
performances by various groups, the event was very lively and attracted many
people from the greater Taichung area. Falun Gong practitioners in central Taiwan composed several musical pieces
and created dancing programs to present at this event,. They were scheduled to
perform after 2:00 p.m., when the event was near its conclusion. People were
beginning to leave by this time. However, as soon as the first dance "The Light of Fa from Heaven"--an
exquisite performance depicting heavenly beauties--started, the crowd came back.
Many people in the audience had their children with them, and were watching with
much interest. The young Falun Gong practitioners' performance, "Heavenly Kids
Dance," also attracted much attention from the audience. Falun Gong
practitioners concluded their performance by singing a lively song together. A young father commented that Falun Gong practitioners' performances were
very refreshing. The performance gave people a peaceful and serene feeling. All
the materials quickly ran out. Falun Gong practitioners said that in view of the fact that many contemporary
performing arts have been distorted so much and thus can't present to people the
true beauty of the art form, they composed this elegant music and dance of
traditional flavor. Falun Gong practitioners believe that beautiful arts can
improve the human heart. Dr. Lin participated in the free medical consultation. She also recommended
Falun Gong to the crowd. She said that one must temper one's mind nature in
order to obtain true health. As Falun Gong emphasizes cultivation of mind
nature, it can indeed help people to achieve ultimate mental and physical
health. |
