Taiwan: Inside and Outside the Classroom at Taipei's Minghui School (Photos)

Each time it convenes, the Taipei Minghui School holds classes from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are four sessions, and each lasts 50 minutes. The courses are arranged generally as follows: two classes are for Fa-study. One is for various arts, such as music, fine art, handiwork, films and storytelling. The last class is for practicing the Falun Dafa exercises.

While studying the Fa, as the rate of progress is different, students study the Fa in their respective classrooms. While having Arts class, junior, middle and senior students have the class at the same classroom. In this class, a teacher told the story of Emperor Tang Taizong, and led the young practitioners to recite a poem "In memory of Chang'an" from Hong Yin. Another teacher told the story of "Yanhui Loses His Hat." Young practitioners listened attentively and amusingly. Teachers appropriately applied the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" while telling the stories. Young practitioners then actively gave their opinions on certain plots. While having Arts class, each young practitioner was given a piece of colored paper, and a young practitioner got on the stage to demonstrate to everyone how to fold lotus flowers. Some practitioners were very soon able to do on the spot and some wanted to continue practicing after returning home.

In order to spread the Fa and clarify the truth, in the last class, teachers led young practitioners to Chung-Cheng Memorial Hall to do the exercises.

Volunteer teachers exchange opinions

While doing the exercises, one or two teachers corrected young practitioners' movements and taught the exercises, other volunteer teachers took this opportunity to exchange opinions on the courses set up at Minghui School and share experiences of the Winter Camp organized last month. They also thought of planning Summer Camp earlier. Everyone try hard to make the Minghui School better in every aspect.
