The Hand Posture on the Book Cover 封面上的手勢
I was invited to the East Brisbane State School in Queensland, Australia, to introduce my newly published book "Witnessing History: One woman's fight for freedom and Falun Gong" in May 2005. The lovely kids asked me to show them how I did the posture at the book cover. So I showed them. It is one of Falun Gong's Two Hand Positions for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts.
這張照片是2005年5月在澳大利亞布里斯本東州立學校照的。當時學校請我去介紹我新出版的英文書,可愛的孩子們聽完介紹後,非要我演示書的封面照片上的那個手印給他們看,於是我只好做給他們看羅。這是法輪功發正念的兩種手印之一。
用這個發正念手印做封面,是出版社設計師的主意,她在網上看到別的法輪功學員發正念的照片,覺得很酷,跟我商量我可不可以拍張同樣的,我同意了,於是他們請了攝影師拍了一下午,得有幾百張吧,最後選出了這張。
