FÜSSEN, Germany—Margit Kobler, an artist specializing in sacred Tibetan Buddhist art, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Festspielhaus Neuschwanstein in Füssen, Germany, on April 12. She has long worked with Tibetan sculptural traditions and Buddhist sacred art, including sculpture and restoration.

“I cannot really express myself the way I would like to, but it was wonderful. I had listened to the first interviews from Jan Jekielek in America via The Epoch Times, and I always wanted to come. And today, I finally came. I am very moved.”

“The soul that the performance has, and this spiritual connection, and how it is implemented in music and in dance and in expression, that really touches you. Thank you!”

She said the performance also gave her a strong sense of unity and shared purpose.

“I cannot really express it, but it is something that lives in me and strives in me, that this was expressed—that one is not alone, and that we are working together on something across countries. It is simply so wonderful when people can express that through art.”

Ms. Kobler noted that the opening scene moved her the most.

“I cried. When the heaven opens, and these movements and this turning—that was the most moving part, how wonderfully it was shown, how directly from the heart a flow arises,” she said.

She then recalled a poetic association that came to mind: “I just told the gentleman next to me, it reminded me of a poem by Goethe, which begins like: How heavenly bodies rise and fall, how everything weaves itself into a whole, and interacts and weaves into each other, how heavenly bodies rise and fall, going up and down, and the golden buckets are passed around.”

“That was much calmer. There was no longer a sense of longing, just being. There was a sense of presence, as well as a sense of roundness and flow. For me now, it was simply unity and wholeness. This wholeness—how everything weaves into a whole and how wholeness arises—was arriving.”
