Hua-Yen Sūtra 4.0 Purification Practices

Description
Description
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 language, calligraphy, music and multimedia installation, bringing forth the Avatamsaka realm as described in the Sūtra; endless in time and space. Based on the chapter “Practice of Purification” of the Sūtra, Hua-Yen Sūtra 4.0 Purification Practices focuses on the 141 daily practices devised by Bodhisattva Manjushri for wisdom seekers to carry out mindfully in their daily lives at all times, awake or asleep. A practical guide to experiencing how the enlightened conduct their lives in wisdom. Original text by Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh Extracted from the book Cultivating The Mind of Love
