Goddess of Mercy appears on film

From Suara Karya

One day we went to Sanur Beach in Bali as tourists. The atmosphere was cheerful, particularly because it was a holiday. We took photos using a 36-frame film. Unfortunately, after it was being developed at a Tulungagung photo studio, the result was total darkness, in other words, all the shots were dramatically overexposed. But after close observation, it was found one frame was successfully developed. The successful negative was printed by my friend. Believe it or not, the photo shows a beautiful Chinese girl riding on a dragon in the waters of Sanur Beach. My ethnic Chinese friend said the mysterious photo was that of the Goddess of Mercy in Chinese mythology. She is believed to be one of the goddesses of compassion.

I hope that in the wake of this phenomenon, we will no longer practice racial, ethnic and religious discrimination. As human beings let us reciprocally sow the feeling of compassion so that our beloved Indonesia can become a safe, peaceful and prosperous place to live in.
