Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance International Art Exhibition in Singapore- 11 July 2010



真善忍国际美展莅临新加坡 感动各界

文/新加坡法轮功学员

【明慧网二零一零年七月十二日】二零一零年七月十一日,“真善忍国际美展”在新加坡展出。画展吸引了各界人士前来观赏。许多人在赞叹作品所展现出的一流功底和深邃内涵的同时,亦震惊于发生在中国的对法轮功学员的残酷迫害。

真善忍国际美展曾多次莅临新加坡,本次展出的三十七幅作品出自于十一位修炼法轮功的艺术家。作品分为佛光普照、溶于法中、邪恶镇压、呼唤良知和善恶有报等几个主题。

基佩尔(Kipper)女士来自于俄罗斯。欣赏过画展后,她表示要把今天所看到的、听到的放在自己的博客里,与身边的朋友们分享。她说:“我的祖父经历过前苏联的共产时代,我从祖父那里了解到为什么共产党要迫害人。”“我看到周围的许多朋友不关心自己利益以外的事,事实上,全人类都应该关心人权。”基佩尔女士最喜欢的画作是《学法》,画面中年轻的母亲怀抱着酣睡的小宝宝,专注地读着《转法轮》。她说:“我要以画中的人物为榜样,她很伟大,能够兼顾。我有两个孩子,当我要做想做的事情时,总是把他们丢给先生。”KIPPER女士表示会去买一本《转法轮》来读。

来自印尼的杨女士在画展上逗留了很长时间。她有亲人曾在中国遭受过中共的迫害。她说印象最深的是那些表现法轮功学员遭受酷刑的画作。她说:“这太残忍了。我很同情那些人。”看到作品中的人物在失去亲人时流露出的眼神,她说:“很打动人。”

来自于英国的赫瑟林顿(Hetherington)先生看了展出后说:“我感到悲伤。我听说过法轮功,但没想到迫害会这么严重,甚至有人被害死。”赫瑟林顿先生最喜欢的画作是《天人合一》。他说:“我感到很强的能量,画中的人物平静、祥和,我觉得在被提升。”

一位新加坡的男士,看作品看得出神。他说:“觉得很辛酸。我爱看写实的作品,不喜欢那些现代派的东西。”“《纯真的呼唤》这幅作品中的小女孩的眼神很感人,作品的立体感很强,离很远都能感受到。”

毕业于艺术专业的王女士说:“技法、色彩、构图、人物刻画,每一样都是非凡。画作能体现内心是最高境界,很多幅作品都体现出来了。我也渴望在艺术方面能有所升华。”

来自中国辽宁省的宋女士站在《孤儿泪》这幅作品前落泪。她说:“一看到这幅画我就受不了了。我知道在中国有许多法轮功学员受到了迫害,我认识的就有很多。”

几位导览员均表示,这次画展办的很成功,吸引了很多人前来观赏,不少人边看作品边流泪。他们希望更多的人能看到这个展出。

据悉,自二零零四年七月二十日于华盛顿DC国会大厦首次展出至今,“真善忍国际美展”已在全球四十多个国家二百多个城市巡回展出,超过上百个场次。画展所展现出的善与美感动了无数观众。

Why Jiang Zemin decided to ban Falun Gong in 1999? (Story - Part 1)

In 1999, Jiang Zemin was jealous of Falun Gong's popularity and even so when its founder - Li Hongzhi was more respected than him then in China. So jealousy drove him to force all the government organizations to slander and denounce Falun Gong, using radio, TV, and newspapers to lie endlessly...


Falun Gong was introduced to the public by its founder in May 1992. Teacher Li traveled to the major cities of China for the next two and a half years, tirelessly teaching the Fa to people. Thus Falun Gong quietly yet quickly spread all over China.

Chinese words in picture: Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.


Meanwhile, a tyrant named Jiang Zemin rose to power in China. Through endless scheming and plotting, he finally attained the power that he always coveted.


Jiang had a Magic Mirror that would answer the questions dearest to his heart. One day, fearfully thinking about anyone that might take away his power, he asked the mirror, "Oh Magic Mirror, who has the heart of the Chinese people?" The Magic Mirror answered, "Falun Gong."


Jiang was shocked, "Falun Gong? Never heard of it!" He was deflated, and even though everyone knew that Falun Gong teaches people to be good and kind, he didn't believe it and was stricken with fear and paranoia -- he told the high-level officials secretly: "We must stamp out Falun Gong!"


The local officials knew that Falun Gong improves people's health, raises their morality, stabilizes society, and even saves the country so much on medical bills. So they just paid Jiang some lip service and didn't really plan on giving practitioners a hard time.

Words in the cartoon: "Don't worry -- we won't make trouble for you -- go ahead and practice!"
