(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of January 9, 2008, the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) touring company put on its third Chinese New Year Spectacular at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. The audience sang the show's praises. Some expressed their agreement with the elements of justice, conscience, and faith reflected in the show. Others said they were encouraged and inspired to ponder the origins and truths of life.

Mayor of Garland Ronald Jones missed the VIP reception because of a business trip, but saw the third show with his wife. They praised the show profusely. They said the entire show was outstanding but they especially loved the dances. "The unique 3D backdrop was amazing and the high-tech stage design made the background look so real."

Mayor Jones was very touched by the dance showing the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. He thought universal values should be observed by every country and every person. He said he liked "The Power of Awareness" very much. "Justice and conscience were upheld. Justice defeated evil." He said that a show with such traditional cultural was very significant to the Dallas area, because it gathered people of different races, cultures, and civilizations to share a unique, uplifting experience.

Mrs. Jones said the show was way beyond her expectations. She wished she had brought her children to experience Eastern culture.

Dr. Randall Mock, a surgeon, hurried to Dallas to see the last show after one of his staff members who had seen the show recommended it to him. He said the show was beyond his imagination. He liked every story, song, and dance. After finding out the show would tour to 65 cities, he said, "If it goes to New York, I will take a group there to see it...If it goes to Houston, I have a brother in Houston. I will certainly tell him to go and not to miss such a great chance."
