Kindness Is the Only Way Out

(Minghui.org) When faced with natural disasters or pandemics—situations beyond human control—one instinctively seeks divine assistance and a path to survival. It is precisely at such moments that one may come to realize how brief and fragile life truly is.

The compassionate Divine has already made every effort to guide humanity toward survival before the onset of calamity, using every possible means. The question is whether people can recognize these signs. As long as they choose kindness and cherish the opportunities granted by the Divine, they will find a way out and emerge from the catastrophe.

A Terrifying Dream

I had a dream on the morning of June 6, 2022. In the dream, I was riding in a bus. When the bus stopped, I got off. I thought this was the final stop, and expected everyone to get off the bus. Much to my surprise, the bus suddenly sped forward. I was terrified and shouted at the driver, “Stop! Why aren’t you stopping?”

The reason for my panic was that I knew that the bus was heading toward a bottomless abyss. What terrified me even more was that the driver knew exactly what lay ahead, and still drove recklessly toward doom. My screams fell on deaf ears as the bus sped on and then vanished in an instant. I stood frozen at the bus stop.

At that moment, a crowd gathered. An elderly man with a beard stepped forward from the crowd, raised his hand and spoke slowly: “If it weren’t for your Master’s teaching of Dafa, and Shen Yun, this land and everything in it would have ceased to exist long ago!” I looked toward the direction he was pointing and saw a vast expanse of grassland. Turning back, I saw a sign that read, “Chulu.” At that moment, I woke up from my dream.

Enlightened by the Dream

After waking up, the scenes from my dream were still vividly etched in my mind. The sign in the dream, “Chulu,” was a place I was familiar with. I immediately realized that the pronunciation of “Chulu” (fawn) was the same as “chulu” meaning “a way out.”

That day, I was preparing to participate in the media interview for the Shen Yun performance. The man in the dream had directly pointed out that it was Master who used Dafa and Shen Yun to save everything in this land. Doesn’t this prove that it is Dafa and Shen Yun that have given all lives a way out?

This dream was so vivid and profound that it had a significant impact on me. However, I have always been puzzled by one thing: why did the bus driver keep driving forward, even though she knew it would lead to a terrible and desperate situation?

Insightful and Inspiring Feedback

Shen Yun has recently wrapped up a global tour. Seeing the congratulations, praise, and emotional statements of audiences from all walks of life in both the East and West, I remembered some of the highlights from the Shen Yun performances I saw that year of my vivid dream.

Let’s start with the day after the dream—the afternoon of June 7, 2022. That was the first performance in Taiwan after Shen Yun returned to the stage following a three-year hiatus due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

I remembered that the tickets sold out long before the performance. On the day of the show, a torrential downpour began, and the locals said such a heavy rain was extremely rare.

Even though many audience members had their clothes and shoes soaked through, the rain could not dampen their eager anticipation for Shen Yun. The venue was packed to capacity. I deeply felt the joy and anticipation of all the lives present and noticed that many people, while watching the performance, had tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces.

In addition to being amazed and moved, the audience feedback at the time included a particularly memorable comment from a local government official who had practiced Buddhism for more than 20 years.

He described in detail the extraordinary scenes he saw in another dimension while watching the Shen Yun performance. He said, “The performance venue was filled with gods and Buddhas, both inside and outside.” He also said, “The compassionate energy of the gods and Buddhas on stage was like sweet dew sprinkled upon the human world, guiding people toward goodness and light.”

In the audience feedback of Shen Yun’s performance in Taiwan in April 2024, a Tantric abbot also praised the extraordinary mystery displayed in another dimension. He remarked that he felt that, “This is a place where gods and Buddhas save sentient beings. Shen Yun uses artistic performances to show the mystery of Buddha’s salvation.”

In the West, every year, many audience members witness the marvelous sight of deities or angels appearing on stage during performances. In May 2024, during Shen Yun’s performance in Orlando, USA, according to on-site reports by journalists, an astrologer described how he observed that the energy of the audience (the “living beings”) was rising higher and higher as they watched the performance.

He also saw divine beings existing in a parallel space alongside the theater. The astrologer realized that Shen Yun is salvation for all humanity. He stated that Shen Yun performers are messengers of the Divine, sent to convey messages of salvation. The Divine is waiting for people to make their choices, and those who are kind will ultimately be saved.

Kindness Is the Only Way Out

The heartfelt feedback from the worldwide audience is abundant, and can be found on Shen Yun’s official website and other media outlets such as The Epoch Times. As the astrologer mentioned, Shen Yun performers are messengers of the Divine, using their exceptional artistic skills to guide people toward goodness.

Therefore, the cultivation of Shen Yun artists—both in terms of their skills and moral character—must adhere to high standards. We can understand the entire process of their efforts through the Shen Yun official website. As an audience member, witnessing the efforts and achievements of Shen Yun, one can only feel admiration and gratitude.

However, there is only one group of people who stand opposed to Shen Yun: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its followers, who promote “falsehood, evil, and struggle.” Some individuals may have once been part of Shen Yun but left because they could not meet its standards, leading them to harbor jealousy and resentment. As a result, they were deceived and manipulated by the evil spirit of the CCP.

Otherwise, a rational and sensible person would easily discern the difference between good and evil upon seeing those with ulterior motives slandering Shen Yun. Everything in this world is arranged and controlled by the Divine. Could it be that this incident is also part of the Divine’s plan to test people’s hearts?

Human life is merely a process—like riding a bus in a dream, traveling along the journey of life. In this chaotic world, if one can remain clear-headed and discern between good and evil, choosing kindness and avoiding evil, one can find the path pointed out by the Divine.

This is the true wisdom and meaning of life. If one blindly follows the driver heading toward destruction, when life plunges into an abyss of eternal ruin, even the most desperate cries for divine help will be in vain!
