As we look around, we see so much conflict, turmoil, and anxiety in the world. This is why Master Hsin Tao established the MWR as a platform for promoting love and peace, mutual understanding and respect, and peace of mind. On November 11, 2013 the MWR celebrated its 12th anniversary. This day is also observed as the World Religious Harmony Day, and it was a great pleasure to see so many representatives of different faiths come together to reaffirm the central values of the MWR—respect, tolerance, and universal love. As part of the celebration, we invited Master Shuyan of the Tongdo Temple in South Korea and acclaimed artist Li Yihong to join Master Hsin Tao in painting a series of three ink-wash paintings expressing the spirit of Chan Buddhism. Also on this day, representatives of the Sikh community in the UK presented the museum with 2 pages of the 200-year-old, hand-copied scripture which presents the MWR ideals of love and harmony in a way which demonstrates that “All things return to the one.” We may belong to different religions or sects, but our underlying unity is evident in the way we all use prayer and vows to convey our blessings to all sentient beings. The MWR is a collaborative effort; since it relies on the combined support of various organizations promoting education, culture, and commerce, you can say that the MWR represents the coming together of business, government, and academia. For example, in recent two years we have collaborated with the Hanguang Education Foundation to hold “Hanimation,”a special exhibit combining digital art and life education. We hope that in the future even more groups and individuals will join us in our continuing endeavor to promote art, culture, and world harmony.
