(Clearwisdom.net) In the bright autumn days of September, the "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" International Art Exhibition toured cities in the eastern Bavarian region of Germany. The paintings were first shown in the tourist city of Cham in the Bavarian forest. The Mayor of Cham gave an address at the opening ceremony and called on more people to pay attention to the persecution of Falun Gong in Mainland China.

Many visitors wrote in the guest book that they were genuinely moved by how beautiful the exhibition was. "This art exhibition is a miracle. Such brightness!" "We are all surrounded by lightness. Thank you!" "Everything is changing for the better!" "Thank you for the art exhibition and the profound talk. I Hope Falun Gong and 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance' will spread across the world."

Among the visitors were retired couples, company employees, vacationing students, housewives and children. A common feeling shared by all was that the show exemplified a return to tradition, a return to pure art, and that the persecution of Falun Gong in Mainland China was truly beyond comprehension.

After seeing the pictures, many visitors were quite interested in Falun Gong and expressed a wish to study the principles of the practice. A woman who owned a bookstore committed herself to carrying, "A Report of the Persecution of Falun Gong" so that more people could learn the truth.

Two girls said that the show was brilliant. They said they would take the lotus flowers from the exhibition back to their respective home countries, Poland and Russia.

Some people told the guide they could feel the strong energy emitted from the art works. After seeing the paintings, children could feel the very strong, comforting energy from the turning law wheels inside their abdomens when learning the Falun Gong exercises. A young mother had an extremely emotional expression standing in front of the painting of a statue of the Buddha, as if the moment she had been waiting for the longest time had finally arrived. Many more people wept quietly while pondering in front of the paintings. What they felt was often beyond expression.

Among the extensive media coverage of the exhibition, several newspapers, such as Bonner Rundschau, ran promotions while Cham's two local newspapers reported on the event.

In the last weekend of September, the "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" Art Exhibition was held in Passau's Holiday Inn. The exhibition left visitors deeply impressed.

Upon seeing the advertisement for the event, an artist immediately came to visit. He admired the painting, "The Unity of Heaven and Man." As an artist, he strives to depict righteousness. In his opinion, "The Unity of Heaven and Man" was an excellent piece leading art back onto a righteous course. After explaining the painting, the guide also mentioned that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes Falun Gong. Accepting a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party, the artist promised to read it thoroughly in order to see through the evilness of the CCP.

One elderly lady, who was very emotional after seeing the pictures, talked for a long time with the guide. She firmly declared that the CCP had brought mankind so much tribulation that we should never allow the CCP to stage a comeback, or such tragedies would be repeated. She also expressed her most sincere blessings for the exhibition.

The "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" Art Exhibition was welcomed by the people of eastern Bavaria. In the art works people saw true goodness and evil, and the divine law that good and evil are rewarded or punished accordingly.
