Israel: "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" Art Exhibition Tours Israeli Cities

Since November 2005, the "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" art exhibition has been held in every large Israeli city. The art works are all by Falun Gong practitioners and display the beauty of Falun Gong as well as the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners currently occuring in China. So far, the exhibition has been held in four large cities. The first exhibition was held at the House of Painters in Tel Aviv, where a seminar on the CCP's violation of human rights and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was also held. The works of art have let people know the facts of the persecution, which has led people to show great concern about the situation of practitioners in China. The exhibitions have been widely reported on by the media.

People view and admire the paintings and listen to Falun Gong practitioners' explanations.

Following the exhibition in Tel Aviv, another one was held in Beersheba, Bat Yam and Haifa. In order to demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises to allow people to see the peacefulness of Falun Gong, practitioners chose venues each time with plenty of space, for example the House of Teachers in Beersheba; the art teaching centre in Bat Yam and the Ship Museum in commemoration of the Israeli repatriates in Haifa.

Because of different condition, the "truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance" exhibition in each city has its own characteristics. Yet in each city practitioners would explain to visitors the content of the exhibition.

At the same time Falun Gong practitioners distributed materials about what Falun Gong is as well as the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP. They also demonstrated the five sets of exercises. From March 27th to April 16th, 2006, another exhibition was held in Tel Aviv at the Commercial Centre. In this centre there is a huge flow of people, creating good conditions to clarify the facts to a large number of people.
