Overview

Enjoy a performance that seamlessly blends dance, music, drama, and light and imagery to vividly recreate the Buddha's wisdom and compassion, as well as the enlightenment and growth of sentient beings in samsara.
Luang Prabang has been known as the "City of Buddha" since ancient times, with Buddhism deeply rooted in the lives of its people. It is also a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage and World Natural Heritage site, earning it the title of "Dual Heritage City."
The Buddha's light symbolizes wisdom, compassion, and purification, implying the dispelling of darkness and illuminating the soul. Through recounting stories from the Buddha's arrival on earth and his teachings, as well as from mythological legends, the stage play "Buddha's Light" allows audiences to deeply connect with the Buddhist concepts of compassion and karma and reincarnation.

The plot depicts the causal relationship between good and evil in the human world, the confusion and awakening of sentient beings, and the Buddha's compassion and wisdom in guiding humanity toward enlightenment. Every scene on stage symbolizes the pervasive power of Buddha's light and the spiritual power of wisdom and compassion.
