Enlightening Theatre Unveils the World Created by the Mind

"As if having ice cream in the seething summer heat, the tranquility is beyond words."

－ Professor Ou Fan Leo Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong


“The show reveals a state of compatible ease between the mind and the world.”

- Performance Arts Review (Taiwan)

Light is symbolic of the Sakyamuni Buddha's ultimate enlightenment. It was described as emanating from his entire body and shining in all directions. Upon enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, the Buddha gave his first teachings which were recorded in the Hua-Yen Sūtra (the Avatamsaka Sūtra). In this Zuni performance, light is the key creative element, coming from multiple sources in real-time interaction with multimedia installation and live music. Based on the chapter “Practice of Purification” of the Sūtra, this performance focuses on daily practices for wisdom seekers to carry out mindfully in their daily lives at all times.
