Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular deeply moves the Korean audience

Following last year's show, monks and nuns who watched this year expressed their special feeling for the performance. Monk Baoyuan said, "The scene in the second performance that depicted the finding of one's true self deeply touched my heart. It brought tears to my eyes. It took me great effort to hold back my tears to finish watching the performance. Such a performance in today's corrupt world, is really like the lotus blooming in the mud."

The Water Temple's abbot monk said that the performance gave him an impression full of vigor and hope. The overall feeling was coherent and consistent, and would have the effect of uplifting a depressive mood. He said modern people are likely to have illnesses due to pressure and stress. The performance is conducive to rejuvenating humanity, and treating illnesses. Watching the performance by the Divine Performing Arts makes people feel relaxed and optimistic, and relieve stress. It is effective for all illnesses, and it is not only a musical communication.

President of the orchestra of the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts Li Rong said in an interview that China has vast territory and abundant resources. There are many nationalities, and he experienced several different cultures in the performance. Through today's show, he learned that music and dance reflected the traditional culture. Since China's Cultural Revolution, many traditional cultures have gotten lost. Such a re-creation of those cultures as today's is of great significance.
