AWord From the Founder 讓宗博「動起來」！ W ith the diligent efforts of all the staff and volunteers of the Ling Jiou Mountain Buddhist Society and the Museum of World Religions, in 2008 we were able to expand the scope of“Mass Meditation” into the“All-Taiwan Peace Movement.” This year we plan to initiate the“Global Peace Movement,”in CPWR and we've even been invited to conduct the Shuilu Ceremony in Singapore. In conjunction with United Daily News literary supplement, we've been offering the Religious Literature Scholarship for seven years now in order to bring the religious spirit and outlook to greater numbers of people. In 2008 we issued another edition our annual“Spiritual White Paper.”Based on the results of a questionnaire focusing on current attitudes towards religion and spirituality, this publication encourages self-reflection and serves as a valuable reference material for scholars and society at large. In the area of philanthropic endeavors, last year we carried out practical and efficient post-disaster relief and reconstruction in both Burma and Sichuan, China. In Burma, we worked closely together with the International Red Cross to deliver provisions to disaster victims. For 25 years now we've been walking this difficult path. Yet, with the small but steady accumulation of donations offered by our many supporters around the world, we've been able to establish the monastery and the museum piece by piece, and continue to propagate the Dharma for the benefit of all sentient beings. We are truly grateful for all your support and effort! We are proud to announce that Mr. Han Pao-The (漢寶德), the Curator Emeritus of the Museum of World Religions, has been appointed as the Director-general of the Ling Jiou Mountain Academy of Religion and Culture. The Museum's new Curator, Mr. Jiang (江), has been working with us right from the museum's inception, and we are confident that under his able leadership we will be able to realize all our goals. While the Museum has already established itself as a bridge for interreligious dialogue, we hope that in the future it will play an increasing prominent role in Taiwan and around the world.
