Australia: A Special Science Class at the Minghui School in Brisbane (Photos)

By a Brisbane Falun Dafa practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) A few weeks ago at the Minghui School in Brisbane, we conducted a science class test of good-will and ill-will, based on the ice crystal experiments from Japan. Our purpose was to teach the students to use a compassionate mind in interacting with the environment. When the students looked at the different ice crystals that resulted from kind or harsh words, they discussed it enthusiastically.

The mold on rice that was given words of blessing was white and without a bad smell

The mold on rice subjected to curses was black and sticky

Next, we had a good-word / bad-word test. We prepared two cups of cooked rice and had the students say one good word to the first cup and say a bad word to the second one. For example, they would say, "thank you," "you are beautiful" to the first one and "I don't like you," "you are ugly" to the second one. After that, we wrapped two cups with plastic film and labeled them.

After two weeks, we brought those two cups to the classroom. The rice that heard good words had white mold on it and didn't have a bad smell. The other one had black and sticky mold. The children were surprised to see the test results and realized the importance of a compassionate mindset.
