The pandemic has kept everyone apart physically, yet we’re still connected spiritually. Since the beginning of the year, religious leaders from Catholic Church *1 , Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar *2 , and International Buddhist Confederation *3 have gone online to encourage the public; among which Catholic and Islamic leaders cofounded Higher Committee of Human Fraternity for joint prayers online, where MWR founder Venerable Chan Master Hsin Tao was invited by the Vatican to join in the efforts as a religious leader. The Museum of World Religions respect for all faiths, tolerance for all culture, and love for all life. In MWR, different religions and believers can preserve their wisdom and art. And during this pandemic, different religions come together online and pray for one another according to their own practice, which is practically an online equivalent of MWR. When visiting war relics at Balkans 20 years ago, Master Hsin Tao was asked by reporters, “Can there be peace for mankind?” Master Hsin Tao said, “When the mind is at peace, the world is at peace.” When there are more people praying for peace, we believe the world will be restored in no time. 心 文 / 世界宗教博物館發展基金會 執行長 釋了意 平安 Peace of Mind CEO of MWR Development Foundation Venerable Dr. Liaoyi Shih
