(Clearwisdom.net) On January 22, 2005, Ukrainian Falun Dafa practitioners held a very successful painting exhibition entitled, "The Journey of Compassion." Many people learned the truth about Falun Dafa through attending this exhibition; they offered support by signing their names on a petition to support Falun Dafa and leaving a message in the guest book. This guest book will carry the blessings of the Ukrainian people and travel with the painting exhibition throughout the entire country. This article features some of the messages that were left by the Ukrainian people.
"We ought to encourage this kind of painting exhibition because it asks all of us, adults and children alike, to become good people. In other words, Falun Dafa asks us to treat others with compassion and respect. Teachings like Falun Dafa's should be promoted in schools so that our children can be educated. In contrast to lots of TV and radio programs that are poisonous to our spirit nowadays, learning Falun Dafa will bring health to people's minds and bodies. Let us preserve compassion in our hearts."
"I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you for making this wonderful painting exhibition possible. It brought us warmth and brightness. It awakened people's hearts so that they possessed constructive attitudes. We need this painting exhibition. Long live Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance."
"A tall tree always grows from a seedling. Falun Dafa is being promoted in Kiev now. Many people are very interested in this cultivation practice, which is based on Chinese philosophy. Thank you very much for bringing the information and theories to our city."
"The virtues of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance revealed in Zhang Cuiying's paintings are truly amazing. We can feel peacefulness and tranquility in her paintings. It is a significant contrast to the conflict and chaos we frequently encounter in our daily life. Please accept our sincere thanks to the exhibition organizer who has provided us a precious opportunity to know Falun Dafa, a cultivation way that can bring people mental peace and physical health. I would also like to request an end to the brutal persecution against Falun Dafa. I think the United Nations should step in and urge the Chinese Government to put an end to this persecution. I want to mourn for those practitioners who have been persecuted to death."
To Friends of Falun Gong
"I love the folded paper lotus flowers you made. You showed people how to fold beautiful lotus flowers, which represents compassion, tolerance and diligence. By the way, the paintings are all very beautiful.
"Thanks for this painting exhibition. Thank you for what you have done to bring us brightness, compassion and joy."
