Shen Yun Heralds the Beginning of a New Era
EPOCH TIMES
S
AN JOSE, Calif.—Few experiences in life can claim
to touch the very core of
one’s being. For sisters Lynn
Pentz and Rene Besold, Shen
Yun did just that.
“It speaks to the highest in
us. Here is the heart and the soul
being uplifted in the art. It’s exquisite. Just a magnificent piece
of art,” said Ms. Pentz, wearing
a regal black coat ornately detailed with a golden Chinese
dragon.
Ms. Pentz, who called the
performance “deeply inspiring,”
finally secured the ticket as a
Christmas gift from her sister
Rene, after wanting to see Shen
Yun for years.
“Shen Yun is a beautiful
transformational experience,”
she said. “It’s a cross-cultural
journey into not only Chinese
history and spiritual tradition,
but it’s also an opportunity to
just take a deep breath and
have your soul fed by the highest form of art … also just the
uplifting of the music and the
beauty of the dance and the costumes, and the moving imagery
in the background.”
This is no small praise from
an event producer who was behind such globally recognized
events as Hands Across America
and Live Aid.
Rene Besold, Ms. Pentz’s
equally vibrant sister and a former director of human resources and training, echoed the sentiment.
“With the sights and the
“
These dimensions
are real.

sounds, and the texture and the
color, that incredible orchestra,
and the movement, the flow of
the dancing, and the precision
of everything—you did not see
that on a flat screen, you felt it,”
Ms. Besold said. “It went into
your heart, into your soul.”
“It was deep and profound.
It is really a remarkable experience. It’s an experience, it’s
not a show. I have to say, that’s
probably the finest overall performance in its totality that I’ve
ever seen, bar none”, she said.
To Lynn Pentz, the divine
worlds depicted in Shen Yun are
not just the stuff of imagination.
“For me it’s real,” she said. “It’s
a fascinating thing, and quite
honestly, I think that the grace
of the divine can take whatever
form you recognize.”
As a person with a keen sense
-Lynn Pentz
of spirituality, and blessed with
experiences beyond the norm,
Ms. Pentz’s take on the heavenly
realms depicted on stage may be
different from some of her fellow theatergoers.
“For those whose third eye is
open,” she said, “these dimensions are real, depicted in actual
physical reality. This is not just
some myth. This is not some
theatrical experience.”
Many cultures believe in the
ability to see beyond the physical world.
“It gives people an opportunity to see the dimensions of
heaven, not just as a symbolic
representation, which most people would think, but it’s literally what people experience with
an open third eye and an open
heart and a connection with the
soul,” Ms. Pentz said.
“This is a real representation
of what real power is … as you
develop your life force, you purify and you embody virtues,
and real power comes to you.
Both in terms of consciousness
and in terms of grace, and in
terms of your ability to impact
the physical world. Hopefully, to
uplift it,” she said.
“I am completely
enchanted.”
— HRH Princess Michael of Kent
“I have reviewed over 3,000
shows. I will give this
production 5 Stars, that’s
the top!”
— Richard Connema, critic for Talkin’
