(Clearwisdom.net) Twin young women from my hometown came back home for summer vacation after finishing their freshman year in college. The girls are very considerate of their parents and came to my company to work in order to reduce the financial burden on their parents. The work requires standing for 12 hours every day, and most of the time they work the night shift. It's pretty arduous.
One day, they came to visit me and saw the DVD of the 2009 Shen Yun Performance on my desk. They were excited and decided to come watch it after work the next day. After arriving, they sat together and watched the performance with their full attention. At the beginning, when the older girl spoke softly, the younger one asked her not to speak. After that, neither of them spoke at all during the show. After watching the first disk, the older girl said, "I was sleepy when I came here, but after watching the program, I don't feel sleepy anymore." The younger one said,"Wow, it is so good!" They did not watch the second disk that day because they were afraid that they would be sleepy at work the next day. When they left, they said,"We will come here right after work tomorrow to watch the rest of the program." They then happily left.
The next day, they came as they said. The weather was hot, but they stayed in my small room without air conditioning to watch the show. One of them sat on a chair while the other sat on a small, uncomfortable chair I had made out of Styrofoam. However, none of that affected their enthusiasm for watching the show. In spite of the heat, the only thing that showed on their faces was true happiness and how much they loved the show.
Seeing their attentiveness and happy faces leaning toward the computer screen, and their seriousness when watching the show, I was really touched.
After watching the show, the sisters wrote down their feelings.
The younger sister wrote:
After watching the Shen Yun show, I thought about it a lot. If a person's soul can be purified and know that one should be truthful, compassionate and tolerant, that person has truly found the right values for life. The 2009 Shen Yun show is magnificent and very professional. It's just like what people have said: It is a very wonderful show and it cleanses the soul. As a matter of fact, after having reincarnated through numerous lifetimes, we should have an open mind and be more compassionate. In that way, this world will become more and more beautiful and friendly. Therefore, I will try hard to learn this and pass on my knowledge to others.

The older sister shared the following:
How long is a lifetime? It is just a few decades. What can last forever? It is only "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Only those virtues can be passed down from generation to generation. They can make people kind and open-minded and treat others with kindness. People are separated only by a thin veil. When we take the initiative to talk with people, they will be able to realize the truth of life that has been long lost. After watching Shen Yun, I was really struck. It makes me understand that we should consider others first no matter what we do. We cannot just think about ourselves. Let's appreciate others and treat them with a heart full of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." If we can do this, the world will become more beautiful.

You Will Be Well Once You Watch Shenyun
Ms. Liu of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, sometimes cannot control her mind and she thinks too much. Her brain becomes like a boiling cauldron, and the more she thinks, the more tired she becomes. Because of this, she cannot rest well and always feels exhausted.
When this happens, her husband tells her, "You will be well once once you watch Shen Yun." Ms. Liu watched the Shen Yun performance several times and it indeed was very effective in soothing her mind. As soon as she started watching the show, she would immediately relax. Her mind would also become clear and she did not feel tired anymore. She would feel extremely light-hearted and all of her tiredness would be gone. It was quite relaxing and joyful. After watching Shen Yun, she could hear the beautiful music from the performance echoing in her mind. It was truly wonderful.
