From May 7th to the 12th, the Falun Gong "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance International Painting Exhibition" was successfully held at the largest and most famous art gallery, the Turkish National Time Art Centre in Ankara. During the five days thousands of people visited the exhibition and learned about Falun Gong.

On May 7th the exhibition hall welcomed many groups of children who came to visit. They dedicatedly looked at each painting. A Turkish gentleman who was visiting the exhibition stood in front of the picture entitled "Buddha" for over fifteen minutes, then went to our information desk to take leaflets and asked many questions about cultivation. He obtained the answers to all of his questions from us.

Through practitioners' explanations, people learned what Falun Gong is about and the persecution occurring in China. People praised the artists who practice Falun Gong for their excellent skills. Some people said, "I've seen so many art exhibits, but I've never seen such wonderful paintings. The idea of the compositions and skill of painting are excellent. Some artists expressed their wishes to take Falun Gong as their theme to create paintings. Many people left their beautiful wishes in the guest book.

The event took place on the occasion of Master's birthday. Veteran and new Falun Dafa practitioners in Turkey respectfully wish great Master a happy birthday!
