因敬嘉的邀请，让我跟师父及行者们有机缘一起去观赏《药师如来》音乐剧。
这音乐剧，很棒。可以360度旋转的舞台、灯光、音乐、舞者、歌手及现场音乐伴奏、还有感人的剧情，是一场超值的表演，同时也让人知道药师如来的十二大愿。
要在旋转中的台上跳舞、表演实在不容易。一边移动着自己一边要保持平衡不随着旋转的舞台转，还真的不简单。很佩服表演者的毅力和精神。
最近觉得身边一些朋友或法侣为了生活或某些个人的追求而逐渐的离开学佛的环境。。。我有一种想法，希望身边的人都有好的生活环境可以让大家一起来学佛、共修；希望大家都可以身心健康然后一起办活动把佛法推广给更多人；让一些因误会/误解而离开学佛的人可以回心转意，继续跟大家一起学习、实践佛法。。。在看了药师如来的十二大愿后，竟然都是不谋而合，当然药师如来的大愿是深广很多。。。深受感动。。。
感恩诸佛菩萨的愿行，让我们凡夫在身疲力尽、处于病苦、堕入恶道等等不好的因缘时得以有机会继续回到学佛道路上。
其中有一幕贫女难陀用仅有的2文钱购买油灯供佛，让我的眼泪直流。
有一次佛在舍卫国祗树给孤独园时，国中有一个女人，名叫难陀。她生活贫穷，孤身一人，依靠流浪讨吃为生。常常看到国中王公贵戚，大小臣民，一个个都备办斋饭供养佛陀和众僧。不由心中自思：我前世罪孽深重，此生处于贫穷卑贱之中。今生遇到佛陀出世，虽有广大福田，但不能种下善良种子。
难陀想到此处，心酸感伤，深深忏悔自责前世罪孽。于是四处讨要，也想给佛陀和众僧做点微薄的供养。她每日不停地讨乞，终于得到了一枚金钱，便拿着这枚金钱到卖油者家中，想用这枚金钱买油。
卖油者说：“一枚钱买的油，少无所用，你想用它做什么呢?”
难陀就把她买油供佛的想法全部告诉了卖油者。卖油者可怜同情难陀，就加倍给了难陀一些油。
难陀得到油后，心中非常高兴。将所得之油盛足一灯。于是拿着油灯，来到祗园精舍供养佛陀。把油灯放在佛陀面前的众灯之中，自立佛前，难陀发誓乞愿：“如今我贫穷困苦，只能用此小灯供养佛陀，乞愿以此功德，让我来世得到智能和光明，灭除一切众生的愚昧黑暗。”难陀发誓之后，便向佛陀致礼而去。
过了整整一夜，所有供灯全部熄灭，惟有难陀供献的这盏油灯仍然独燃明亮。当时正好轮到佛弟子目连值班，第二天，目连发觉天亮，便去收拾灯盏供具。看到这盏油灯独燃发光，灯油灯芯都无减损，就如新点燃的一样。心想：白日点灯，没有大用。便举手扇灭此灯，可这灯火焰如故，一动不动。目连见灯不灭，又用衣服去扇灭油灯，油灯还是照样不灭。佛陀看到目连要扇灭此灯，就对目连说：“如今这盏油灯，不是你们声闻弟子的神通力所能熄灭的。就是你用四大海水浇灌它，让巨大的山风吹卷它，也难以把它熄灭。这是什么缘故呢?是因为它是一个发下宏愿、广济众生的人所供的油灯。”
佛陀刚对目连讲过此话，贫女难陀就来佛陀面前，叩头施礼。当时佛祖即给难陀贫女授记：“你在来世第三阿僧祗百劫之中，可以成佛，名叫灯光，十号具足。”
难陀贫女得到佛陀的授记之后，心中万分高兴，长跪佛前，请求出家。佛祖即便答应，让她作为比丘尼加入僧团。
看到她那颗虔诚供佛的心，很美。。。即使饿肚子也要供佛。。。因为她的虔诚心供养，当其他人的灯熄灭时唯有她供的灯吹不灭啊。。。。这一幕非常的感人。。。
