艺术和宗教本来是一体，宗教以艺术手法提升人对宗教精神的体会，艺术也持着一种宗教的情操，才能有着一种不停超越的动力。进念‧二十面体制作的《华严经之心如工画师》结合了佛教哲理与多媒体和现代舞台艺术，进行一次艺术与宗教互动的实验，借着演绎佛在说法中使用的色光，诵悉梵文字母及发起广大的心灵愿力，从而开展出宗教艺术的撼动力及无尽的启发性。

《华严经》乃讲述关于心和世界二者之间的关系的一本佛教经典，全名《大方广佛华严经》，简称《华严经》，是中国华严宗的根本典籍。《华严经》是佛陀释迦牟尼于菩提树下初成正觉首次宣讲的佛法，首次开示佛境界不可思议的庄严华丽，微妙甚深的缘起之法，以及转凡成圣、菩萨修行成佛的阶段。此经并非以语言音声演说，而是佛陀以全身放光启示与会的菩萨及天人神主等，再由普贤菩萨透过语言、文字、象征等种种方式来演绎。

《华严经之心如工画师》应第十届台北艺术节邀请，将于二零零八年八月二十九日至三十一日假台北城市舞台演出。


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 -Mind as a Skilful Painter, 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



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.

Hua-yen Sūtra -Mind as a Skilful Painter
is the Commissioned Programme of The 10th Taipei Arts Festival
August 29 to 31, 2008 at the Metropolitan Hall, Taipei Cultural Center, Taipei.
