ST. LOUIS, MO―On the evening of April 30, the Divine Performing Arts performed the Chinese Spectacular at the Touhill Performing Arts Center at the University of Missouri in St. Louis. Both Westerners and Easterners in the audience all welcomed China's 5,000 years of divine culture showcased by the Divine Performing Arts. The performance also captivated many religious people in the audience.
A Buddhist abbot from Lotus Nunnery at Bulguksa Temple in South Korea, with religious name of Chanjue, attended the event with her friends.
From her friend, Chanjue received a program book for the show and was greatly attracted by the pictures in it.
She said that those pictures featuring many Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas had fascinated her.
"At that moment, I had a determination to see this Chinese Spectacular no matter what. I sensed intuitively this show must be extraordinary," said she.
"It was some supernatural power, directing me to come and see this show for sure. It was the enlightenment of Buddha that brought me to the Divine Performing Arts' Spectacular .
Chanjue said, "Although the performance, 'The Risen Lotus Flower' was based on a real story in our society today, in reality the entire human world is like a giant prison."
She expressed, "People have too many attachments, too much enticement of the wicked, threat that mankind poses to mankind itself, and the choice between good and evil. When people get rid of their attachments, they will discover that the awareness of people really isn't that far out of reach for them."
Chanjue thought that the entire Spectacular show was filled with peace and amiability, and conveyed many messages of good versus evil, causal relationships among events, and the relationship between man and Heaven. She said, "These messages are not merely significant to people of religious faiths, but also really important information that is being transmitted to everyone in the world."
