Australia: Spreading the Principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to Every Corner of Western Australia (Photos)

By a practitioner from Western Australia

(Clearwisdom.net) From May 20-27, 2006, the International "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Fine Arts Exhibition was held in the City Town Hall of Perth City, Western Australia. During the exhibition, almost every visitor signed his name to support Falun Gong. Visitors supported practitioners' anti-persecution actions and they all said that the persecution is an unacceptable nightmare of human rights. Many visitors learned the exercises at the exhibition hall. They said that they felt the beauty of the art works and the miracle of cultivating Falun Dafa.

Australian Senator Ruth Webber condemned the CCP's brutality at the opening of the exhibition

Visitors learn the truth

The City Town Hall of Perth is in downtown Perth, is 150 years old, and is one of the landmarks in Perth. There were forty works of art at the exhibition, which were painted by fifteen artists, who are all Falun Gong practitioners. The artworks were all Western paintings. The exhibition consists of four sections: "The Beauty of Cultivation," "Uncompromising Courage," "Calling for Justice," and "Justice Prevails." The exhibition displays the spread and the persecution of Falun Dafa, and the uncompromising spirit of the many Dafa practitioners who clarify the truth, exposing the brutal persecution of Dafa.

At the opening, Senator Ruth Webber said, "These works have high art values, but what people should pay more attention to is the real human rights violations in China, which are displayed by those art works."

Falun Gong practitioner Yam, who just arrived in Australia from China, told visitors that she and many Falun Gong practitioners in China have been illegally arrested many times for practicing Falun Gong. In 2000, she was illegally sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp, and was jailed with Zhao Ming and Zeng Zheng. During an interview by a local TV station, Yam explained the art work Force-Feeding with her own experience.

The painting: Force feeding as a torture method

On the last day of the exhibition, a young Chinese mother came with a six or seven year-old child. When the young mom talked to practitioners after seeing all the art works, the child was standing in front of the paintings. Finally, the child came to the mother, and practitioners found that the child was crying. The art works not only shocked the adults and made them think, but also opened the enlightened side of the children.

The art exhibition will tour in Western Australia, and will be held in Albany next month. The art exhibition and the spirit of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" will spread to every corner of Western Australia.
