The ever-quickening pace of life, natural disasters, the economic crisis, epidemics; these are but a few of the causes of perplexity and anxiety for people living in the modern world. As such, the world we live in is slowly becoming an inscrutable mystery. Faced with such uncertainty about the future, how can we live at ease? How can we increase our understanding of life and our sense of satisfaction?

What can a museum faced with such a conundrum do, apart from conducting environmental education, attempting to salvage cultural relics, and presenting the various scars of history? Major disasters which have occurred in the 18 years since the plan for the MWR was first conceived include the 911 terrorist attacks, the 921 Earthquake, the Sichuan Earthquake, the Myanmar Cyclone, SARS, and H1N1. In response, in addition to providing emergency disaster relief, the Ling Jiou Mountain Buddhist Society and the MWR Development Foundation have also been actively providing such post-disaster assistance as spiritual and social education in order to help the victims recover hope and be free of anxiety.

The"100,000 Dharma Doors" and the "Jeweled Net" are the guiding principles for the continuing development of the MWR's collection, exhibitions, educational programs, and research. In this connection, the efforts the MWR's education section in providing religious, cultural, and art education to schools at all levels have been highly successful. In consonance with its founding ideal, on December 5, 2009, the Museum officially established its "Life Education Center". The Center's "life education navigators" assist the Museum's education programs by engaging in such activities as discussions, research, interpretation, and publishing.

By promoting genuine religious values, tranquility, understanding, and spiritual practice, the Museum's life education program promises to become an endless source of love and goodwill for all beings.

The "life education navigators" assist the Museum's education programs by engaging in such activities as discussions, research, interpretation, and publishing. Many teachers joined to be the "life education navigators" and help the museum to promote the life education in schools.
