Divine Performing Arts Show: "We Learned What Happiness Is"

Forty-four students in the class "How to Have a Good Life" attended the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) Mid-Autumn Spectacular at John Bassett Theatre in Toronto. They said that the show was educational and they learned the meaning of happiness.

The teacher, Michael Porsche, has seen the DPA show before. He liked it very much, so he took his students to see it.

"I wanted to help them have really good lives. I also want them to be encouraged and get ideas from the values portrayed in the pure arts. I believe this show will be a special lesson in their lives and may help them to improve themselves" Michael said, "That is why I brought them here."

He said his class is a two-year course, teaching students to be just and honest and how to handle difficulties. He found that Falun Dafa cultivator's principles were very helpful.

Michael Christopher, one of the students, appreciated the chance to see the DPA show. He liked the Chinese history and culture depicted through dance and music. "I learned that the real Chinese culture has been ruined by the Communist Party. Many people don't know about it, and the DPA show is a good way to restore it," he said.

Another student said, "The show is very unique. The music and dances are very beautiful. I can understand the profound content, although there are big differences between Chinese and Western culture. This show makes me realise that there are profound meanings in the words Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
