金聖寺一年一度的懷少節，於四月二十四日熱鬧非凡的氣氛中，拉開了序幕。其中音樂劇─三藏取經之三車祖師，由佛學班的男同學們表演，原劇則由培德中學和育良小學的師生創作。
玄奘大師的飾演者是即將進入大學學習的Kenny Truong，他平常樂於助人，在校品學兼優，曾獲校長的特別獎勵。Trent Ly，記憶力過人，酷似小沙彌，他飾演三車祖師（窺基祖師）的前世今生。Jeffrey Wirjo則溫文儒雅，穿戴起皇帝的衣帽，確有帝王氣質呢！兩位悟空由Richard Trinh 和 Charlie Trinh扮演，他們反應迅速、身手靈敏，逗得小觀眾們開心不已。劇中兩位侍衛─Bryan Trinh和 Yee Jay Ng，台詞不多，但確是劇中的重要橋樑，不可缺少，有這麼精彩的演出，他們功不可沒。
在非常短的時間內，成就如此精彩的表演，主要得益於石義環和黃建華的專業指導，加上林敏前、Jason Kung以及佛學班其他老師的協助。當然一個好的演出，除了好的劇本、優秀的導演和演員，還要有好的道具。這些精彩紛呈的道具，得益於法師們、蔡麗花居士、以及眾多居士的用心。正由於大家的團結合作，演出才能如此順利，如此圓滿。最後，祝願參與音樂劇的所有工作人員、及所有的觀眾，皆有窺基祖師的善根，早日開悟，明瞭自己在娑婆世界的任務。
The annual Cherishing Youth Day festival started joyfully with a music play- Three Cart Patriarch. The play was performed by boys from Sunday School of Gold Sage Monastery, it was excerpted from a play composed by teachers and students in Developing Virtue Middle School and Instilling Goodness Elementary School of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Student Kenny Truong played Great Master Xuan Zhuang. In school, he is a nice student always willing to help others, and achieves high both in academic and behaviors. He has won a president’s special reward and is about to enter college. Trent Ly, a boy with the exact outlook of a novice Monk, has an extraordinary memory, played the Three Cart Patriarch (Patriarch Kui ji) of the past and present. Jeffreu Wirjo, a courtly and decent boy, when dressed in robe and crown of the emperor, did manifest the quality of an imperial character! The two naughty monkeys Wu Kong were performed by Richard Trinh and Charlie Trinh, both of them were sharp and responsive in their actions, which amused and delighted kids in the audience a lot. The other two attendants- Bryan Trinh and Yee Jay Ng, worked as an important bridge in this play, their performance is an indispensible and essential addition to the wonderful play.
From the initial idea, rehearsal to the successful stage performance, the whole play was accomplished in a very short time. Thanks to the professional guidance from Yi-Huan Shih and Allen Huang, the kind assistance from Min-Chien Lin, Jason Kung and other teaches in Sunday School. On top of that, the costumes and stage properties are also critical elements of the show, most of the pros were handmade by Dharma Masters, Donna Tsai and other laypersons. It is because the collaboration and contributions of everyone that the music play was successful.
We wish all the staffs and audiences involved in this music play are replete with the same wholesome qualities as patriarch Kuiji, may they all get enlightened soon and realize their own tasks and missions in this Saha world.
