The Light Has No Shadow | 光無影
When you look up at the sky, and beautiful clouds are floating above you, and you love the cloud, suddenly the cloud disappears, and you think the cloud has died, "Where has my lovely cloud gone?" If you have time to look and see, you will see that the cloud has not died or disappeared. The cloud has just turned into raindrops, and when you see the rain, you see the cloud too. When you drink tea with mindfulness, the cloud is in the tea and you say "Hello, cloud, I recognise you; you are not dead. You are alive in a new form."
The Buddhist sutra mention of sentient beings mistaking themselves for waves and becoming attachment, distinguishment and delusion; all sentient beings cannot see their true nature because of their attachment, distinguishment and delusion, which give rise to greed, hatred and ignorance. However, if one looks deeper. One realises that the nature of sentient beings is water and not waves. When one truly realises there is no difference in the nature of all sentient beings. There will be no more sorrow, no more suffering. Because no one ever really leaves.
The mirror-finished Buddha statue is like our true nature, which is pure and sufficient, but is sealed by transparent resin, like the attachment of all sentient beings, which is hard to reconcile but does not know. The three resin layers also represent the three poisons: greed, hatred and ignorance.The last one is the brain wave moving light, which keeps moving, much like the ceaseless delusions of all sentient beings. Only by seeking enlightenment and letting go of attachment, distinguishment and delusions can remove the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance. And the mind be enlightened to meet our true nature.
The audience needs to wear a brainwave device that instantly captures every thought in your mind and converts those thoughts into signals, which are then transmitted to two light devices. One light is placed above the audience’s head, and the other is positioned atop a sculpture. When the audience’s mental state becomes more focused and, at the same time, more relaxed (this may sound contradictory, but it’s indeed possible), the swinging motion of the light devices slows down, and at its most extreme, it even comes to a complete stop. The color of the lights also changes, shifting from blue to red, green, and orange, until, at its peak, only pure white light remains. At that moment, there are just two beams of white light quietly lingering between the audience and the sculpture. In this state, when the audience opens their eyes, the ascetic Buddha statue they see is no longer merely a sculpture but a reflection of their own true nature.
當你望著天空上，上面飄著美麗的雲朵，你很喜歡這朵雲，突然雲不見了，你以為雲死了，"我愛的雲朵去哪了"如果你有時間去觀照，去看；你會看到雲朵沒有死，沒有消失。雲朵只是化為雨滴，看到雨，你也看到那朵雲。你帶著正念喝茶的時候，雲就在茶𥚃，你說"哈囉，雲，我認得妳；妳沒死，妳以新的形式活著”
佛經中提到眾生誤認自己是浪花，而生起執著，分別和妄想；眾生皆因執著,分別和妄想生起貪、癲、痴而不能見自性。然而當深入觀照才能真正發現眾生的自性是水而非浪花，浪花只是水的一個現象，浪花有生滅,但水則沒有生滅。當真正體悟到眾生自性都無差別，就再沒有悲歡離合，因為沒有人真正離開過。
鏡面的苦行佛像就如我們的自性，本自清淨具足，被透明的樹脂所封鎖，就如眾生的執著，堅固難調但又不自知。同時三層樹脂視覺上把佛像分開，代表眾生的分別心，三層樹脂亦代表著三毒: 貪、癲、痴。最後則是腦電波燈，一直在移動就如我們眾生的妄想從未停止，唯有一心追求覺悟，放下執著、分別和妄想才能除去 貪、癲、痴三毒而明心見性。
觀眾需要戴上一個腦電波裝置，這個裝置會即時捕捉你腦中的每一個想法，並把這些想法轉成訊號，傳送到兩支燈光裝置上。一支燈裝在觀眾頭頂，另一支裝在雕塑頂上。當觀眾的精神狀態越專注，同時又越放鬆時（這聽起來好像很矛盾，但其實是可以同時發生的），燈光裝置的擺動就會變得越小，甚至在最極致的情況下完全停下來。燈光的顏色也會改變，從藍色漸漸變成紅色、綠色、橙色，最後在極致時只剩下純粹的白色光芒。到那時，就只會有兩道白光靜靜地停留在觀眾和雕塑之間。這時觀眾在這狀態下張開眼睛,看見的苦行佛像再不只是一件雕塑,而是他的自性.
