(Clearwisdom.net) The Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular was performed in Bratislava, Slovakia on March 9, 2008. The newly built Slovak National Theater was sold out.



Peter Osusky, a medical doctor and Vice-Rector of Comenius University in Bratislava, said that although he had seen Chinese paintings and calligraphy in museums, he had never seen a show such as the Spectacular.

"I would say the show is marvelous, I like it very much. I'm someone who is closely connected with, I would say, traditional European culture, but for me this is something new."

Referring to the two acts in the Spectacular that depict the persecution of Falun Gong in China, Osusky said that "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance, the principles of Falun Gong, can be of benefit to all humanity."

"Truth, Compassion and Tolerance would be good for all mankind. It's good for Christians, its good for Jews. It's good for everybody and even the Muslims speak about Mohamed as the Compassionate. So if each man in the world would keep to these three sentences, or these three things, I think the world would be OK for Catholics, for Protestants like me, for Jews and for all the people who are sticking to it."

Falun Gong is a meditation practice and spiritual discipline which has been brutally suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party for almost nine years.

"I am a protestant, but I see that all of the three things (Truth, Compassion, Tolerance) that are mentioned there are really worth protecting and we need to fight for them, because if the world would accept these, like the Ten Commandments, it would be a good world to live in."

Another member of the audience, well known Slovak politician Grigorij Mesežnikov said, "I enjoyed the show very much and it was also a very good opportunity to learn more about Chinese dance and musician arts. Divine Performing Arts had showed professional and I find that the values, which it presents are universal and they can rectify relations among the nations. These values are making people- who accept human freedom and dignity- honor and sympathy," said Mesežnikov.

"In my opinion any persecution out of spiritual, political and other reasons is unacceptable. It�'s understandable how it can be possible, that practicing of spiritual method can be so cruelly persecuted. Actually the Chinese government should immediately stop it."
