17 Monks of Shaolin Temple are each sitting on a wooden pillar that is around 5 feet tall. There is a person sitting at the front of the stage facing the Shaolin Temple monks. All of them are sitting criss-crossed, looking upwards, and have their arms lifted towards the cieling.

Sutra explores the Shaolin kung fu tradition in the context of contemporary culture, inviting a cadre of modern-day practitioners to lend their skills—the flying kicks, backflips, and shadow-boxing practiced as part of their spiritual discipline—to a humorous fable about a European outsider learning about their monastery. The chamber music score by Brzóska is performed live.
