R eligion is the central expression of human spiritual culture. There are many different religions in the world, each representing a different culture's search, experience, interpretation, and understanding of the richness of life. In today's globalized world it is essential to acquire an understanding of various religious and cultural traditions. Endowed with such an understanding, we are able to hear the music of the spiritual life resonating from the deepest levels of human experience. Since its inception seven years ago, the Museum of World Religions has been striving to promote human spiritual upliftment through its ideals of respect, tolerance, and love. Moreover, as we continue our endeavor to create an open and harmonious environment for dialogue which transcends the bounds of race, nationality, religion, and language, the wisdom thus generated increasingly illuminates the world. Only selfless love is truly capable of relieving sentient beings from their tribulations. Our sincere wish is to join together with others to promote the ideals of respect for all beliefs and races, love for all beings, and the creation of a global family of love and peace. By holding fast to these ideals we hope to create a pure land on Earth and bring the boundless Huayan realm into being, thus bringing into the world a positive, active force of unlimited good that will help mankind to realize its aspirations for peace.
