After nearly four months of practice, the group put up three performances, that were seen by nearly 4,000 people.
This is the scene at the Penang Tzu Chi Academy in Malaysia, as more than 500 on stage volunteers come together to perform the musical adaptation of the Water Repentance Sutra.
Myanmar Dharma Master Ven Rev. Jagara Buddhi: Very good from this and then a lot of people can get a lot of lessons, so can get a lot of general knowledge also. We also can see our wrong thing and right thing.
This time on stage volunteers are mostly students and teachers from the Tzu Chi Academy. This has not had much time to rehearse as a group, thanks to the determination of the volunteers, the performances were a success.
Volunteers Lai Kon Soon: At first, I wasn’t that concentrated on the performance and the movements. It took me more than 2 months to learn the sign language. When I decided to focus however it only took me about a week to remember all the lyrics and the movements.
Triple Wisdom Hall Master XianXing: Everyone makes mistakes and we all have desire, anger and ignorance in our hearts. If we can repent of our past mistakes, we can bring peace to those around us.
The musical adaptation of the water repentance Sutra, not only touched the hearts of these and the audience, it is also the youngsters that are involved in the performance.
Volunteers Ler Jia Jun: When I was performing the Sutra, I thought about the painter. The painter works really hard to build his dream home, however in the end he had to go back to zero. I think this is the meaning behind the Water Repentance Sutra.
Volunteers Lock Chee Hou: Although my character in the musical adaptation, only needed to sit and listen to hateful words from a lady, it wasn’t easy to do. I had to put myself into my character, because every part in the water repentance Sutra is important.
Through the musical adaptation on stage, volunteers and those in the audience are inspired and repent for their past behaviors, and at the same time prays for a disaster free world.

檳城水懺公演 用心演繹感動觀眾
首先，在馬來西亞。為了增進親子關係，從六月開始，馬來西亞人文學校的學生和家長，一同參與水懺的排演，經過四個月的集訓，正式演譯，有近四千位觀眾共襄盛舉。
這是馬來西亞，檳城人文學校的現況，五百多位演繹志工，一起演繹水懺。這是很棒的演繹。
緬甸Ven Rev. Jagara Buddhi法師：「因為在眾人的演繹中，除了傳達一般知識，還有經文裡面的智慧。我們身為觀眾，可以從中學習對與錯。」
這次擔綱演繹的，幾乎都是人文學校的師生。雖然先前沒有很多時間彩排，因為大家都努力，表演完美演出。
志工，黎觀信：「開始的時候，不願意，起煩惱。我竟然用了兩三個月的時間學手語。到了決定要學好的時候，我就用一個星期的時間，歌詞、動作全部都記得了。」
三慧講堂釋顯行法師：「我想說每一個人都會有一些過失，因為我們內心有貪嗔癡，那有過失，透過懺悔的話，會給旁邊的人帶來祥和。」
水懺演繹，感動的不只是觀眾，很多參與演繹的年輕孩子，也被深深觸動。
慈少，吕佳焌：「我在演的過程中，我會想，工筆繪畫師，辛辛苦苦的賺錢，建了這麼多的屋子，最後還是要回去，最原本最清淨的心，這個大概是水懺的意義吧。」
慈少，駱志豪：「這個爸爸角色，雖然只是坐著，被那個少婦在發脾氣，可是也不容易演繹。需要這分感情去演這部戲，因為在水懺裡面，每一樣東西都不可缺少。」
透過水懺經文，演繹志工以及觀眾，懂得要懺悔。同時也為世界祈福，遠離災難。
