Dance is composed of movements and every movement has its inner meaning. Everyone who practices qigong knows that practicing qigong requires some movements. What movements are they imitating? What message are they conveying? Message is a form of energy. Energy from people with good qualities and energy from evil people will each create different influences. Those who understand Buddhism know the images of Buddha and Bodhisattva; their hands show a variety of postures called making “hand-signs.” What are the hand-sign? Zhuan Falun reveals the secret of hand-signs: hand-sighs are a language of Buddha as well as the Buddha Fa. Those who can see Buddha making hand-signs will feel the Buddha-light illuminating everywhere and rectifying all abnormalities, disregarding his or her innate intelligence for enlightenment.

Those who have seen Shen Yun’s performances have all had a special feeling. The dances transcend this human world. The dance movements in the “Nymphs of the Sea” are so pure and of such beauty that they bring people to a detached realm and let people yearn for the infinite glory of a heavenly realm. It is no wonder that when the curtain was raised, people can't help giving out admiration form their heart. At that moment, the unparalleled pure beauty left an imprint deep in their memories.

Images of Buddhas, Taos, and Gods perform a variety of postures in the dances of Shen Yun. Those postures radiate unparalleled glorious energy and are filled with the inner meaning of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. After seeing the show, many people will feel their whole bodies become very light without really knowing why. A person, who has cultivated for many years said his body has experienced a wonderful feeling; a feeling he experienced only when his mediation had reached a very good state. He knows it was because his body and mind were purified by the immeasurable benevolence from the dances of Shen Yun. He felt that people who see the dances will know they come from heaven and should return to heaven.

The Udumbara flowers in full bloom, which occur every three thousand years, are telling people that we are fortunate to be born in this historic period. Buddhist scriptures say that the rare flowers signal Chakravartin (“He who turns the Wheel”) descending to the world.
