The Jewel In The Lotus is an original theatre production held from March 23rd-26th at the University of Toronto (Scarborough Campus). I picked up a flyer on campus today and remembered that the UTSC campus has a great Visual and Perfoming Arts program. This production is directed by T. Lamie and is presented by the senior students of the VPA program.
The meaning of the title is embedded in "Om Mani Padme Hum" (Mani- Jewel and Padme- Lotus) but spellings can be transliterated differently among Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, Tamil and Bengali amongst many others. It is also debated of where the Mantra originated... some say Afghanistan and others may say China.
Dalai Lama defines it has: Om- body, speech and mind of the Buddha. Mani- altruistic intention to become compassion. Padme- symbolizes wisdom and Hum- indivisibility.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.
The year end show is on March 26-27 (AA Building 3rd Fl), with the opening reception on March 26th at 2pm-4pm.
