clear river mirrors the whole universe.

Here is Vairocana Buddha. There is

Maitreya Buddha. Prabhutaratna Buddha

is sitting with Shakyamuni Buddha,

happily chatting and helping all beings

be Buddhas. Benevolence, compassion,

joy, and equanimity is everywhere. Pass

them down from heart to heart. Join to

make the new golden era come true.

Act One: AD 3453 - In 3453,

a monument was found at

a moonlit banquet three

millenniums after the first

carving of the Yungang Grottoes. The

monument commemorates the 2013

Moon Festival banquet during which all

the attendees vowed to get together

in 1440 years. The moon shines and

the flowers blossom at the Yungang

Grottoes. This is the gathering of the

noble people. Heavenly music purifies.

Scattered blossoms bring happiness to

people. I bow to the Buddha with my

deepest sincerity and step gracefully out

of the rock. With clear minds, We are

glad to meet again after three thousand

years. The Moon Festival moon is still

as new as before. The silver plate in the

clear sky lights up the whole world.

Fresh dew glistens on the old sweet

osmanthus. Perfume radiates from the

fragrant flowers. I touch time waves as

countless as sand. I am coming on the

top of the waves, humming the verses. In

the blink of an eye, time passes. Reciting

a poem, time moves. Young as a youthful

Buddha, Hope those seen will forever,

Elevate and enlighten all beings.

Act Two: AD 453 -- The year of

the carving of Yungang Grottoes began.

The magnificent scenery, this holy

mountain, Chopped open the universe

like Nu Wan’s stone. Buddha’s grotto is

open for meditation and enlightenment.

Clear, pure, empty and complete. Rejoice

Buddha who came from the west and

awakened the east. One flower, one

universe. One leaf, one Buddha. Gently

support the colored clouds, gently

support the setting sun. One heart drums

the setting sun. Gently pick auspicious

and pure music. Grasp rainbow threads

and weave the raiment of feathers

and rainbows. Cloud sleeves waving,

blissful aromas arise everywhere. Noble

heart banquet, we will meet again in a

thousand years. Remember this human

world should be a pure land. You are

peaceful and liberated people in the

Saha World.

Act Three: Vimalakirti’s home

in the city of Vaishali, in ancient India

Walking on the clouds in the sky, indigo

conquered blue, from Vaishali to Wu

Zhou Mountain. Vimalakirti was a dama

kaya in Abhirati Pure land. But, his name

in this Saha world was “no dirt”. In his

small and yet incredibly roomy hut, he

demonstrates the path to Buddhahood

to everyone.

His silence is as loud as thunder.

Not the past, not now, nor the future,

the truth is beyond all language. Flowers

were scattered above the Arhats. They

were drunk in Samadhi. Because of their

minds divided the truth from the false,

those scattered petals attached to their

bodies. Bodhisattvas were not affected

by the flowers. Their wisdom was

beyond the senses. Their eyes heard.

They had already been enlightened.

Being a dharma kaya Mahasattva from

the Aroma Pureland, I appeared as a

goddess to teach brilliantly. Assisting and

accompanying Vimalakrirti to Yungang

Grottoes, Until all beings have become

Buddha. My vow will be achieved.

Act Four: AD 2013 - The 2013

moonlit banquet was actually scheduled

by the same people in Year 453 when the

carving of Yungang Grottoes began. The

Moon Festival moon is as round now as it

was then. The cold spring water reflects

my heart’s moon. The pure sunset clouds

float in the empty dharma realm. The
