PASADENA—As the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) continues to perform in Los Angeles, another crowd reacted favorably. The show is on its journey up the west coast which started in San Diego and will end in Vancouver.

After the show, Harrison K., who works for a professional association publication, came in from Korea Town. He said, “It was great. The Chinese culture has diversity. The beautiful color, the costumes and a lot of song and dance, it was awesome. It was beautiful. Originally, I am from Korea.”

He can see a Chinese influence in Korean dancing. He had met one of the characters in a dance before, “The Monkey King, when I was in middle school. I remember the Monkey King. Thirty percent of our customers are Chinese.”

David D. (Call me Doc) is the editor of a paper, covering Lake View Terrace to Montrose. He said he has nine thousand readers. His paper is independent and feisty, showcasing a fight with a big corporation and proudly proclaiming “an attitude.”

He said, “My ideas of what Chinese culture was, is what they presented [is the] the capitalistic end of it, such as in Hong Kong and Singapore. When I was stopping there and seeing [the] so called cultural shows I was thinking, I could see this in Las Vegas.”

“When I was invited to come here, the first thing I thought was ‘look at the costumes and dancers.’ I have never seen anything like this, and then it went on and what was really cute, the moderator came out and said this is what you are gonna see.

I, as a Westerner, said wow, this is what I just saw and here they are leading me by the hand, showing me things I didn’t even know existed. What I never understood about the spiritual concept that went with this. I had never heard of Dafa. Everyone here had grown up hearing about Buddhism and Confucianism all the other isms but as a non-Asian where do we ever see anything about it?

He continued, “In my travels I have read a lot of magazines. What they present is there in my optic view. [However], I was like, ‘I have never seen anything like this.’ I am going to look into this to see what it is. People had their hand up here and down, there had to be a ... symbol. All these ... people these have to be Buddha; all the things I learned in college were coming together.”

Divine Performing Arts will continue the trek with their friends all over the world. The Divine Performing Arts will put on two hundred and sixty performances around the world stopping in over seventy cities. Make sure you take this wonderful opportunity to see what real Chinese tradition is all about.
