Director of the Women's Association: It is like Buddha is saving sentient beings in the human world
Ms. Lin Yu-hui, Director of the Women's Association and wife of the head of Yuanlin Township, saw the Shen Yun show for the first time. She said, "What I saw and heard today were truly great, but I was most impressed with the feeling of serenity. I was impressed with the program 'The Monkey King Triumphs,' possibly due to my familiarity with the story 'Journey to the West' since I was young. The music and costumes were wonderful. I was stunned at the opening program, 'The Five Millennia Begin.' We often hear about the five thousand years of Chinese culture. But today I have a deeper sense of it."

Ms. Lin liked "Dance of the Yi": "The costumes are beautiful, like butterflies with such brilliant color. The dancers appear very soft, indicating they had sound training.
"I've heard about deities getting good people into heaven. Today, seeing the presentation in the backdrops in program 'Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution,' I felt touched and impressed. It seems that Buddha is in the human world to save sentient beings."

Mr. Kao came to the show with his parents. He said, "I've never seen a stage performance like this before. The choreography is admirable. The programs dealing with Chinese culture are outstanding. I think even having the government present history and culture may not be as professional as Shen Yun. It is beyond my imagination, really admirable."
Manager of a technology company: It seems as if the performers are from heaven
Mr. Tai Chuan-kuo, Manager of Foxconn International Holdings (FIH) technology company, came to the show with friends from Hsinzhu. He said, "The programs 'Dragon Springs Drummers' and 'The Udumbara's Bloom' are very unique and impressive. It seems as if the performers came from heaven. Since I am a Buddhist, I was impressed with the show. The backdrops are unique and different from regular shows."

Ms. Chiang Kuo, Director of Tianwei Township Community Development Association in Changhua, said, "I 'd heard a lot about Shen Yun and thought it was great. The dancing and drama about Buddha Law can upgrade morality."

Ms. Chiang said, "I found that each dancer was very committed with good spirit and high skills. The costumes are beautiful. The programs were so good that we seemed to be in each scene."
Ms. Chiang said of the piece "Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution," "It shows the persecution. Since he was steadfast in his belief, deities saved him in the end. Everyone was delighted. It tells us to be steadfast in our beliefs and that there will be a good end."
