(Clearwisdom.net) The Holiday Wonders shows by Divine Performing Arts have won acclaim from audiences in New York, Baltimore, and everywhere they have been performed. Many people said that they liked the dance-dramas expressing kindness and conscience, such as "The Fruits of Goodness" and "The Power of Awareness."

The dance, "The Fruits of Goodness" tells the story about two wayward youths caught in a sudden thunderstorm who seek shelter in an abandoned Buddhist shrine. Moved by the sight of its holy statues, one of the pair attempts to shield the images from the insult of rain. His simple act of reverence touches Heaven with its sincerity, evoking a profound and dramatic response.

One audience member said that he was moved by the story of how the youths were changed by the principles in a book. He said, "I don't know what the book is. I wish I could find the title of the book from the program brochure."

Ms. Bonite Hamilton, a manager of a non-profit organization, did not leave right after the show was over. She said that Holiday Wonders was the best show she had ever seen. What touched her most was the dance-drama, "The Fruits of Goodness." She felt that the dance teaches people to distinguish kindness from evil. She brought her two children to see the show, and felt that is was especially meaningful for children to be exposed to these principles.

On December 20, Craig Mahlman, manager of K&C film production company, Kent Quain, a director, and a number of their friends drove from Philadelphia to watch the show in New York.

They said that the concept of divine culture was presented gracefully, "The message and values shown in the performances are easy for everyone to understand. Whatever your religion and wherever you live, the performance does not leave anyone out. It includes everyone."

Kent said that he liked "The Fruits of Goodness" very much. He said, "Seeing their awakening, getting rid of their warped behavior and returning to an upright way... it is what every one of us needs to do. We all need to return to our true selves and become awakened."

Mr. Deep Singh, a freelance writer for several newspapers in New York, brought his fourteen-year-old daughter and seventeen-year-old son to watch the Holiday Wonders show on December 18.

Mr. Singh said that the performance was wonderful and he would write to newspapers about it. He spent a few days writing a review after watching the show. "The first article I wrote about Divine Performing Arts introduced the dance 'The Fruits of Goodness' because my children and I particularly enjoyed that dance."

His daughter Nancy indicated that she liked the program. She said that at the moment that the divine beings appeared in the dance, one could really feel the existence of divine beings. Mr. Singh's son Mintu said, "Seeing the two youths get rid of bad behaviors under the guidance of divine beings, I felt moved. I wish all young people could watch the performance." Both of them indicated that although they enjoyed each number on the program, this particular one made the deepest impression on them because they admired the fact that the youths had formed a relationship with the divine beings.

Mike, Sandy, Miranda and Melissa Ricasa, a family of four from Baltimore who saw the show together, indicated that the performance was wonderful. The two girls, Miranda and Melissa, said that what they liked most was the dance, "The Fruits of Goodness." Mike and Sandy indicated that many people nowadays do not know the real meaning of life and that they should search for it, just like the two youths in the dance.

Hosea Chew, Director of Administrative Services for the Baltimore Mayor's Office, said that the show was very moving. "I was almost brought to tears," he said. His favorite part of the evening was "The Fruits of Goodness."

Steven Brant, president of an administrative company, has seen many shows at the Beacon Theatre since he was young. He said that the Holiday Wonders show was wonderful.

Mr. Brandt said, "I think the most memorable part of the program was the dance, 'The Fruits of Goodness.' It inspired me a lot. We need more peaceful and spiritual forces to change the world."

Dr. Jinli Huang, a New York board member of the Eastern US Chinese School, recently won an education leadership award. He said that the Holiday Wonders show was an excellent way to share the deeper meanings of traditional Chinese culture with Western people.

Mr. Andre Govin, assistant professor in Bioengineering at the University of Louisville said, "The performance was wonderful." He said what touched him most was the inner meaning of the stories in the performances. He was most impressed with the dance, "The Fruits of Goodness" because it manifested the principle that "kindness will be rewarded and evil will meet with retribution."
