"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Art Exhibition Held at University of Nebraska-Omaha (Photos)

By a practitioner from Nebraska

(Clearwisdom.net) From August 23 to September 2, 2006, the "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" Art Exhibition was held in the Art Department of the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The exhibition was co-organized by the Art Department. The department helped Falun Gong practitioners to mail 5,000 postcards to promote the exhibition. Many artists came to attend the opening ceremonies. They praised the exhibition and were amazed by the artworks.

The exhibition

Many people gained a better understanding of Falun Gong through the exhibition. An older couple told practitioners that they thought that Falun Gong was some kind of political movement, but now they understand that Falun Gong is not political. Many people wanted to learn Falun Gong after viewing the art. Practitioners told them the schedule and location of the free workshops.

An American student told practitioners that he had just come back from Beijing. Before he went to Beijing, his mother had warned him not to get in touch with Falun Gong practitioners, so as to prevent him from encountering trouble with the authorities. But he learned about Falun Gong from the Internet, and does the exercises by himself. When he heard about the exhibition, he came right away wanting to join the group Fa-study and exercises.
