The Hua-yen Sūtra
The Hua-yen Sūtra has various titles namely Flower Adornment Sūtra, Dafangguang fo huayan jing (Pinyin), and AvataMsaka Sūtra (Sanskrit). It is an important Buddhist scripture that narrates the relationship between the mind and the world. The vision expressed in the Hua-yen Sūtra is the foundation upon which the Huayan School of Buddhism in China based their teachings. Believed to be the first Dharma teaching by the Buddha after his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the Hua-yen Sūtra reveals the inconceivable and infinite worlds of the Buddha, the profound realization of Dependent Origination, the transformation from mundane to saintly experiences, the various practicing stages of the Bodhisattva path en route to the attainment of Buddhahood. The Sūtra is a Dharma teaching delivered not through the media of languages, sounds or voices. Instead, the Buddha conducted the teaching using the symbol of light. The lights radiated from his entire body inspired the bodhisattvas, gods and deities who attended the Dharma talk. Then it was elaborated and interpreted by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva via the various media of languages, writings, icons and images. An Interaction between Art and Religion
Originally art and religion are inseparable from each other. With art as a means, spiritual experiences can be elevated, and by the same token, artistic creation must be charged with a similar sense of spiritual commitment from which the ever-transcending force of aspiration is sprung and nourished. Integrating the Buddhist doctrines with multimedia and contemporary staging elements, Zuni’s performance Hua-yen Sūtra, directed and designed by Mathias Woo, provides an arena in which an interactive experimentation on art and religion is carried out. The multimedia performance is a theatrical interpretation of the imagery employed by the Buddha in his Dharma talks including the use of dazzling colours and lights, the chanting of Sanskrit letters in the Siddham alphabets, and the broad and vast vows of the Bodhisattvas with boundless determination, thus unfolding the infinite inspiration and vibration of the interplay between art and religion.
