The Jinghui Guangxuan Symphony Orchestra, named after Buddhist masters Jinghui and Guangxuan, is the world’s only orchestra composed of Zen monks. This unique ensemble combines musical performance with Zen meditation, integrating daily life with spiritual cultivation through music. The orchestra is dedicated to promoting the values of sincerity, kindness, and beauty, and to fostering world peace. Under the guidance of Master Shi Wule, the members merge traditional Eastern culture with professional musical techniques, viewing each performance as both a Zen practice and a Buddhist prayer ceremony.

This concert will offer the audience an unprecedented spiritual journey, blending music, dance, and vocal Zen meditation to create a transcendent experience. The concert is divided into two parts. The first part features classic pieces from both Eastern and Western traditions, including Wang Ning’s Ode to the People, Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite, and Sibelius’s Finlandia, all reinterpreted through the profound lens of Zen practice to explore the timeless themes of peace and boundless love. The second part engages the audience through dance and vocal meditation, including a Zen-inspired dance adaptation of The Jasmine Flower and a display of daily Zen rituals, which elegantly merge tradition with modernity. The vocal meditation, featuring choral singing, guides the audience into a realm of pure sound. The entire performance will unfold in an atmosphere of serenity and solemnity, with each note and movement reflecting the Zen masters' inner world. Audiences will not only experience the beauty of the arts but also achieve spiritual purification and profound tranquility through this Zen-infused concert.
