(Clearwisdom.net) On March 23, 2008, the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) New York Company staged its Chinese Spectacular at the Suseong Artpia Theater in Daegu, Korea. Son Cheong-hyeon, director of Buddhist TV, Bushan Branch, was impressed by Tenor Hong Ming's voice, "I really liked the lyrics. The meaning of the lyrics is about knowing the truth and searching for our true selves. I am a Buddhist. I awakened after watching the show and realized that I have gained a new perspective on life."

Son said with emotion, "My heart weeps over the information related in the performance. My tears couldn't help but fall when I heard the words, 'eternal vow'." He also said that the Chinese Spectacular related a message for people to return to their true natures. "I felt strongly about this message," said Mr. Son.

Son found what he needed when he heard the words, "Understand the truth," "Search for the truth," and "God is giving us a last chance." "These words moved me deeply and have made a strong impact on me. I think this might be what I need to do," said Son.

Son especially liked the piece, "The Fruits of Goodness." "The message conveyed by the performance made me think about how everyone needs to awaken in order to make society better. This kind of message makes me feel good. When I traveled in China, I saw some shows there. However, this is the first time I have seen a beautiful and diverse show."

Lee Kim-Ja, a follower of Won Buddhism, said that the Chinese Spectacular helped him solve many puzzles in his mind. He said, "[The dance,] 'The Risen Lotus Flower' reminded the world's people about the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. My tears didn't stop since the first number. I felt it was worth the trip. I am very moved. It seems the show has solved many puzzles in my mind. The singers have a heavenly sound and the lyrics are moving. The dancing in 'The Risen Lotus Flower' truly moved me. I have heard about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and I felt very distressed. There will be karmic retribution for those who participate in the persecution. The show told us that justice always conquers evil and only the truth can save the world's people."

Hwang Yeong-Suk, a Daegu District Court Judge, said he hoped that Chinese people can one day have their basic human rights and watch the DPA's show like people in other countries. Hwang said, "There are a great number of messages in the show. The colors used are beautiful. The dancing is very classic and rich in culture. There are a lot of domestic customs that enrich the Chinese dance."

Hwang said he knew that the Chinese Spectacular in Busan was canceled. He also knows that the persecution of Falun Gong in China has been ongoing for a long time. He hopes that the persecution will stop soon and hopes that the DPA can perform in China, so people there can learn the truth.
