A person can reach adulthood in 18 years. And like a maiden in full bloom, the museum plants the seeds of religious art, and it blossoms inside everyone. The MWR held an event of Sikhism Langar Experience on November 16, 2019 the first time in Taiwan. Participants of the event must follow traditional Sikh rituals, which is an excellent example of interfaith religion and inter-nationality communication. And for the past 30 years, there has been countless contribution and support from friends in the religion circle, for which we are utterly grateful. Life isn’t just about people, it’s also about all living beings on Earth. Founder of the museum relaunched the movement of “Love for all beings, love the Earth”, while building the University of Life and Peace in Myanmar, which is a manifestation of the museum’s philosophy of “respect, tolerance, and love”.With the idea of “global ecosystem ethics”, The MWR hopes to connect people with the essence of love, rebuild the harmonious relationship between people and nature, and safeguard our Mother Earth. *Excerpts from C.E.O Ven.
