Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'
Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is I like about you, but I like it a lot
Won't you let me hold you, now, let me feel your lovin' touch
Communication breakdown, it's always the same...

"El culto a la vida, si de verdad es profundo y total, es también culto a la muerte. Ambas son inseparables. Una civilización que niega a la muerte acaba por negar a la vida".

“¡Oh, dulce concupiscencia de la carne! Refugio de los pecadores, consuelo de los afligidos, alivio de los enfermos mentales, diversión de los pobres, esparcimientos de los intelectuales, lujo de los ancianos”.

Te amo
Así de fácil
Como las campanas qué acarician las palomas
Te amo
Niño de letras
Que habla de amor
Te amo
Así de fácil
El viento cubrió tu cuerpo
Frente a los pliegues de mi cuerpo
Te amo
éste es el nombre que lleva mi piel

Ever had something “bad” happen, only to realize that it would later save you from something worse? That’s exactly the idea behind the ancient Chinese idiom “塞翁失马” (Sai4 Weng1 Shi1 Ma3), which symbolizes a blessing in disguise.
As the story goes, Sai Weng once discovered that his best horse had escaped. When all his neighbors came to offer their condolences, the optimistic grandfather merely smiled and said, “This may be a blessing!” Turns out, this horse eventually returned, along with a fellow mare. When the neighbors came to congratulate his luck, Sai Weng shook his head and said, “This may be a loss in disguise.”
One day, his son was riding this horse only to fall off and break his leg, yet again, Sai Weng told his neighbors, “This may again be a hidden blessing!” Turns out, this injury exempted his son from military recruitment, eventually saving his life.
So the next time calamity strikes, be sure to hold your horses before reacting. You never know when a disaster might just be a blessing in disguise!
"Dos puntos que se atraen,
no tienen por qué elegir forzosamente la línea recta.
Claro que es el procedimiento más corto.
Pero hay quienes prefieren el infinito."

"los dos se desnudaron y besaron
porque las desnudeces enlazadas
saltan el tiempo y son invulnerables,
nada las toca, vuelven al principio,
no hay tú ni yo, mañana, ayer ni nombres,
verdad de dos en sólo un cuerpo y alma"

One of the greatest rulers in Chinese history, Emperor Tang Taizong was famous for his military prowess. The seventh-century emperor was instrumental in establishing the mighty Tang Dynasty (618–907) and often fought in the vanguard alongside his soldiers. The piece opens with the horn calling his men to the training ground. Martial rhythms from the strings symbolize the soldiers’ discipline and gallantry. In the middle section, a passionate pipa solo represents the mighty emperor training a group of elite warriors. With heightened vigor, brass and percussion propel the orchestra to a dramatic finish.
Currently, Shen Yun is having performances in 2026 worldwide.

She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams 'till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play

The historical Shakyamuni Buddha once prophesied that 500 years after his reaching nirvana, demons would reincarnate as monks in temples to destroy religion from within.
Today, under China’s communist regime, many monasteries have been converted into businesses more concerned with worshipping money than anything else.
