(Clearwisdom.net) I was very fortunate to be one of the guides for the month-long Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance International Art Exhibition at Keelung City Culture Center. Many people visited the exhibit. A lady working at the reception desk said, "I have worked here for more than twenty years and have never seen so many people coming to an exhibit. The energy field of your exhibit is amazingly strong."
One day before the exhibit, when we were arranging the order of the paintings, I didn't like the energy field above the head of the two children reading the book Zhuan Falun, in the painting named "Assimilation," and due to my attachment, wanted to move the painting to the back. The second day during my tour, a girl pointed toward that painting and said, "Look! It's a painting of the universe." This sudden comment surprised me. I realized my shortcomings and readjusted my attitude towards each painting.
There was also one lady who said, "I don't need a guide. I am a cultural volunteer for the Forbidden City, and I specialize in examining paintings!" I suggested that we can both look at the paintings together and learn from each other, and she agreed. We looked at the paintings one by one, till we reached the painting named "Silent Night," and there was some content about the CCP being eliminated. I said, "I feel it is rather difficult to explain this painting." She answered, "It should not be a problem! In China, from the very beginning, we know that heaven gives the mandate to rule to an emperor. If an emperor is not good to his people, heaven will send a crisis down and take away his power."
"We also talk about treasuring your people and putting controlling your country second, and not giving too much weight to the emperor. People are the essence of a country, as a country is safe and stable once its people are all settled well. People are always the foundation of a country. The Chinese Communist Party has done so many bad things, and it is natural that heaven will eliminate it. It is very easy to understand about quitting the CCP." Indeed, even with ordinary people's principles we can explain it well.
At one time, one of my husband's colleagues came to visit, but at the tour, before I finished one, he already walked to the next one. I was a bit upset but still tried to explain everything patiently. He didn't get closer to me until almost halfway through the exhibit. Though he stood closer to me, his eyes were usually on the next painting. I originally thought that he might have some negative feelings, since he behaved like that. Unexpectedly, he said to my husband before he left, "I didn't know what Falun Gong was about until today. It is truly magnificent! This exhibit is wonderful!" Later, I heard from my husband that he said to other co-workers: "The Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance International Art Exhibition is truly wonderful! It is well worth the visit!"
For another lady, the situation was just the opposite. Since there were many visitors that day, in order to accommodate more people, after I finished one I moved quickly to the next one, but she stayed in front of the painting and was reluctant to move on. She was so amazed and said, "All these painting are so..." I could feel how impressed she was, and she couldn't find the right words to express her feelings immediately. I followed her thoughts and said, "The paintings are so amazing. Is it hard to express your feelings immediately?" She quickly answered, "Yes, yes!" During the tour, her cell phone rang. I asked her, "Is there anything urgent? I can speed up if you have other things to do." She answered, "Don't worry, nothing urgent!" She didn't leave until she had carefully examined each painting. I later heard that her friend sent her a text message asking her to be quick, but she would decided to let her friend wait since she wanted to appreciate the deeper meaning of each painting.
There was also a middle school student who visited, and after the tour she was very excited and said to me, "I must tell you something today, Falun Dafa is good!" I realized it was probably because her knowing side was touched deeply. After going through the whole exhibit, I felt that every painting can touch people's hearts and wash away bad thoughts. The whole exhibit is a field for clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings.
