華嚴字母唱誦 Hua-Yen Siddham Alphabet Chanting
【#華嚴字母 #zuni #進念 #香港劇場音樂】
在《大方廣佛華嚴經入法界品》中，善知眾藝童子向善財童子講述了恆常誦唱奉持的「華嚴四十二字母」，便能進入超越的智慧─般若波羅蜜法門。 善知眾藝童子以無礙的智慧窮究世間種種技藝，故名為「善知眾藝」。他得以進入般若波羅蜜門的方法，是恆常誦唱「字母」。此四十二字即印度古語言梵文的四十二個字母，被視為一切書寫、解說、文字的根本，因字的結合而有語言，因語言的詮表而有名，因名而有所詮的義，能了解義，將可獲得許多道理。因此，凡想進入般若波羅蜜門者，首應認識這些字母；一旦進入般若波羅蜜門以後，即可了悟一切言說皆不可得，繼而再進入無量的大智慧中。 傳統上，禪門禮拜《華嚴經》 的儀軌中，有唱誦「華嚴字母」的儀節。字母唱誦是唸誦法門的根本，而「華嚴字母」的唱誦是其中承傳最久、最為有名的，也是《華嚴經》劇場演出音樂部份之焦點所在。

【Hua-Yen Siddham Alphabet】
In the chapter "Entering the Dharma Realm" of the Hua-Yen Sūtra, Sudhana (the Child of Wealth) was told by the Child of Perfection of All Arts that recitation and chanting of the 42-letter Hua-Yen Siddham Alphabet with respect and constant mindfulness, one will enter the transcendent wisdom - the Prajnaparamita.
With unimpeded wisdom, the Child of Perfection of Al Arts has commanded the artistry of everything in the mundane world. The way he enters the door of Prajnaparamita is by chanting the Siddham Alphabet constantly. The 42 letters of the Siddham alphabet, which are the 42 letters of the ancient Indian language Sanskrit, are regarded as cardinal for all writing, elucidation and texts. As words combine to form language, the interpretation and expression of language leads to naming and labelling. With names and labels, there are meanings to be interpreted. When meaning is interpreted, knowledge is acquired. Therefore, if one aspires to enter the gateway to Prajnaparamita, one should learn the Siddham alphabet. Having entered the gateway to Prajnaparamita, one is able to realise that all words and languages are mere concepts and unobtainable, and thus enter the immeasurable great wisdom.
Traditionally the chanting of Hua-Yen Siddham Alphabet is part of the ritual of paying homage to the Hua-Yen Sūtra. Siddham alphabet chanting is the foundation for the practice of Buddhist chanting and reciting. As the oldest and best known of all in the legacy of Buddhist chants, the Hua-Yen Siddham Alphabet Chanting is the focal point of the musical part of the performance.

【Zuni's Multimedia Life Insight Theatre: Hua-Yen Sūtra】
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 series of 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.
