CHANGWON, South Korea—After seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts on April 9 performing at the Sungsan Art Hall Grand Theater, Ms. Moon Seon-Mee, said admiringly, “I have a brand new understanding of traditional Chinese culture after today. The quality of the performance is truly superb.” Ms. Moon is the president of a cosmetic-related product manufacturer, Healing, which has been in operation for 22 years.
Ms. Moon said she has seen art performances when travelling in China and the performances from Chinese groups in South Korea. She felt the difference between those groups and Shen Yun were that “they come from two different levels. Shen Yun’s quality is significantly higher. Shen Yun is way above the normal standard of art and its performance is far beyond other groups.”
There were two programs that particularly impressed Ms. Moon. The story from Journey to the West, Sand Monk Is Blessed, and the final program Divine Mercy. “Sand Monk Is Blessed imprinted in my mind and the last program, Divine Mercy, reached my soul,” Ms. Moon said.
The profound meaning of Buddhist teachings in the programs reached Ms. Moon’s heart. “It touched me intensively. Maybe it is because I am a Buddhist. I felt the compassion of a Buddha and my heart throbbed.”
“This kind of performance is hard to come by. The variety in the programs presents different atmospheres. It’s fantastic. I want to recommend it to my friends. It would be wonderful if they could come to see it just once.”
