Monk: The Chinese Spectacular by Divine Performing Arts Shows the Divine Beings' Mercy for Humankind By Clearwisdom reporter Wang Mei
(Clearwisdom.net) A monk who has lived in several countries attended all
five Divine Performing Arts shows performed in Vancouver. During an interview,
when asked why he watched all five shows in succession, he talked about his
enlightenment of the inner meanings of the Chinese Spectacular show. The
following are his comments made during the interview: "I had this thought that I must seize this opportunity to watch every
show by the Divine Performing Arts. This is because it's the first time I have
seen such a good and vivid show, a show that could not possibly be produced in
this human world. "The mercy of the Divine Beings in saving the sentient beings is clearly
shown among these young performers. Their performances were exquisite and
delicate. Every hand gesture, every step and every movement was soft, smooth and
delicate. We do not see this in this human world. These are really things from
beyond this dimension. "Even the best dancers and best musicians cannot see these things. I
think the music is from a very high dimension, I should say it derives from the
Buddha world. "In the very first program 'Descent of the Celestial Kings', the
invitation 'Descend with me to the earth to be kings for a thousand years!' was
really heart-stirring. The performance contained many messages, the kind of
messages from the Buddha world that have the profound meaning of Buddha nature.
I tried to interpret the messages, but after each show I would have different
interpretations. I think that my understanding (of the Buddha nature) is still
very shallow. During the Chinese Spectacular show I felt that my understanding
was only skin deep. "The modern day monks have too many ideological hindrances. In Buddhism
we called it 'hindrance by the known'. However, this Chinese Spectacular show
truly awakened me. It came from the show. I believe that it has saved me. This
is the best I can say at the moment. I hope everyone will treasure it. They must treasure it and must truly
treasure it. Buddha has come to this world. However, all the sentient beings are
still in the maze! We are all in the maze! "As a matter of fact I had a lot of grudges. However, after watching the
show my mind is filled with 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.' At the
time, I found it was very strange that only these three characters stayed in my
mind. Then I began to think about these three characters. Ah ... yes, it should
be like this! I found that these three characters are nothing but life. Yes,
they are life! "I know little about this practice (Falun Gong). I don't even know what
it is, but it gave me a tremendous help. It did change my mind and now my entire
life has been changed. It also opened up my way of thinking. I think it opened
up a very profound way of thinking, whole thinking! "I believe it (The Chinese Spectacular by Divine Performing Arts) is the
Buddha Law. Every performance is the Buddha Law. They are all the laws of the
universe! No matter what appearances these programs had, be it in the form of
Confucius, in the form of human beings or in the form of Falun Gong, what they
want to explain through these stories are very profound laws of the universe. "Therefore, I had to watch it carefully, since I found I still could not
totally understand it even if I viewed the show a hundred times. This is because
it was so profound! Every time I watched the show I found that every hand
gesture was different. They are so profound and not so easy to learn. I tried
very hard but still failed to find a way to better understand it. "I admire the performers very much. They learned the Buddha Fa at such a
young age and are learning cultivation under a true Buddha. Ah, this kind of
blessing is innate and a result of cultivation practice of many lives. We are of
no comparison with them. I felt that it's a great blessing." (The monk's personal information was withheld at his request.) Posting date: 5/2/2008 |
