故事
- 难忘的骊州生态文明论坛
By Zhihe Wang, Ph.D (Director of Institute for Postmodern Development of China) Although more than one year has passed, the beautiful experience of the Yeoju Eco-Forum lingers as if it were just yesterday. To be honest, the great success of the Yeoju Eco-Forum exceeded my expectations, thanks to the hard work of Daesoon Jinrihoe, a main cosponsor and our host. It was a privilege to work with Daesoon Jinrihoe for the first time. I was amazed not only by the unique opening ceremony, which kicked off with the thunderous sound of drums performed by a vigorous group of female drummers dressed in red. Likewise remarkable was the hospitality which made us feel at home, and also the deep ecological insights demonstrated by President Yun Eun-do and his colleagues. There is no doubt that President Yun Eun-do and his team felt the urgency of ecological issues and recognized the extreme importance of a forum like Yeoju Eco-Forum. They realized that, although there had been many global conferences on interfaith dialogue and on ecological civilization, there have been few conferences that combined the two topics of interfaith dialogue and ecological civilization. The purpose of the Yeoju Forum was to bring leaders of different religious faiths and top scholars together, to facilitate a dialogue among different religions and spiritual traditions on ecological civilization, and to gather constructive wisdom from this dialogue in order to deal with the urgent ecological crisis and create a new civilization: an ecological civilization. It was such a sense of mission that made Daesoon Jinrihoe devote its whole organization to actively hosting this forum. I still remember the first time we discussed the original concept of the Yeoju Eco-Forum with the Daesoon Jinrihoe delegation represented by Director Lee Tae-yeol, Manager Jay Cha, and Professor Lee Gyung-Won in Toronto, Canada back in November of 2018. Less than one year later, Daesoon Jinrihoe made it happen. This was the first conference in the world that dedicated interfaith dialogue to ecological civilization. Some 500 leaders and top scholars from different traditions and faiths committed to ecological civilization participated in this historical event. That explained why Dr. John Cobb, a pioneer in promoting interfaith dialogue in the West, felt so excited about the forum. He regarded the Yeoju Eco-Forum as “a breakthrough in creating an ecological civilization.” In this sense, we indeed can say the Yeoju Eco-Forum was historically unprecedented. I also learned a great deal from the Forum, especially Daesoon Jinrihoe’s beautiful idea of Haewonsangsaeng (解怨相生), which aims to Promote the Betterment of Others and achieve eternal harmony. I felt very moved by this idea, which reminds me of the crucial role of harmony in traditional Chinese culture. Confucius emphasized, “harmony is what is most precious（和為貴）,” and a Chinese proverb states, “It is better to squash enmity than keep it alive（冤家宜解不宜結）.” Today, when we look back at the past year, at the devastating impact of Covid-19, a global ecological disaster, we have to pay respect to the wisdom of Haewonsangsaeng. This is the time to resolve the grievances of humanity and nature. Deeply influenced by modern mechanistic thinking, we have been abusing nature for such a long time. It is time to correct our mistakes. Also, we should pay a tribute to the Yeoju Eco-Forum for enlightening people’s ecological awareness and sense of ecological responsibility. The Forum reminded us that religion, spirituality, faith, and tradition all play crucial roles. There will be no ecological civilization in any particular setting without deep commitments from a multitude of spiritual traditions. For my part, I am glad that the institution I represent, IPDC (The Institute for the Postmodern Development of China) has made every effort we could over the past ten years to promote postmodern and ecological aims. Working closely with Chinese and non-Chinese partners, IPDC has organized more than 140 conferences, arranged more than 600 lectures given to China by non-Chinese experts, and established more than 30 research centers in China. All of these efforts ultimately aimed at helping China as well as the world to turn towards postmodernism and ecology to create an ecological Civilization. Whether ethnic nationalists like it or not, nature has no boundaries. Creating ecological civilizations is a way of addressing the many problems humans face today in a holistic way, knowing that they are part and parcel of a larger web of life that has beauty and intrinsic worth. Creating an ecological civilization in order to avoid the wide wreckage humans are inflicting on one another and the earth has become the most important task to be undertaken by every global citizen. According to Alfred North Whitehead, the founder of constructive postmodern philosophy or process philosophy, the true religion – the religion of shared humanity -- shares a commitment to the well-being of life itself. Religion at its best is “World-Loyalty”,[1] in which “the human spirit has merged its individual claim with that of the objective universe.” [2] It is the true religion that directs people to the end of stretching individual interest beyond its self-defeating particularity.” [3] True religion as well as true philosophy encourages us to broaden our sympathies, thereby enlarging our interest.” [4] I am convinced that if we all work together --whatever our religious or spiritual tradition -- we can actualize the dream of ecological civilization. History will remember us. Therefore, I cannot wait to work together again with Daesoon Jinrihoe, our ecological partners. I yearn for the next Yeoju Forum and look forward to visiting beautiful Yeoju again in the near future.

- 圣母宫参访韩国大巡真理会感想 (台湾台中乌日圣母宫的住持 郑国南)
您好，我是来自台湾台中乌日圣母宫的住持郑国南。2017年6月举行入道至诚，作为大巡真理会道人的一份子，在COVID-19发生之前，多次访问大巡真理会骊州本部道长，进行了共同研究，可以说相互交流非常活跃。 第一次造访韩国新兴宗教圣地-韩国大巡真理会映入眼帘的是占地广大而环境优美的骊州本部道场，参访金刚山土城修道场和大真大学沿途所见所闻真是让我耳目一新。 宗团无论是宗教祭祀仪式或仪轨都隆重庄严，其信仰主神九天上帝教义以阴阳合德、神人调化、解冤相生、道通真境为宗旨，道人平日修持纲领为安心、安身、敬天、修道，所以道人自然而然展现出道言、道行、道貌在举手投足中让我感受到大巡真理会用心办道的态度。 宗教是一种力量，让人能够由身心灵从内而外给予人们安定的正能量。诚如妈祖对我们细细叮咛万丈高楼平地起，把每件小事用心做好最终将成就为大事，此次参访之旅感受到道法是可以活泼而有趣的，在问道的过程中这是一道美丽的风景。 乌日圣母宫一个在台湾宗教中拥有独特风格的庙宇，现代化的建筑却蕴含着中国传统佛教的慈悲、道教的精神以及儒家的思想。 庙宇以教育为基础让在这末法时期、道德沦丧之际让诸佛菩萨流传下来的经典净化众生纷乱心灵、抚慰众生不安的心。 本宫创办人吴锦莲女士与乌日圣母宫供奉主神『妈祖』于1993年结缘，1995年承天命于台湾台中创立乌日圣母宫开始济世救人使命。圣母宫创宫至今已有二十六年载，多年来本宫秉持 妈祖指示脚踏实地、不分贵贱、不分贫富、不分国度济世救人、渡化人心。 天上圣母又称妈祖素有『海上女神』之称。本名林默，中国福建省兴化府莆田县湄州岛人，生于北宋建隆元年(公元960年)阴历3月23日，宋太宗雍熙四年(公元987年)阴历9月9日羽化升天。妈祖誔生至今已有1021年，信仰人口约有三亿人。 其信仰分布于世界五大洲华人所居住的地方，包含美国、南非、澳洲、欧洲、日本、东南亚(菲律宾、新加坡、马来西亚)等国家均有建庙供奉。 其主要信仰分布以中国东南沿海地区、台湾及东南亚部份国家为主，其原因： 1、保佑中国沿海地区渔民出海平安。 2、保佑中国明朝末年至清朝年约二三三年(公元1662~1895年间)大量中国沿海居民平安东渡来台湾，所以 天上圣母又有「海上女神」尊称。 3、明朝永乐年间(约公元1405~1433年)随着郑和下西洋以及中国东南沿海居民移民东南亚地区居住。 妈祖信仰在台湾是最普遍的民间信仰之一。由最初中国东南沿海居民远从中国渡海而来，所以保佑海上平安的神明—妈祖，也就成为台湾人最普遍信仰的神明之一。 『天上圣母-妈祖』信仰文化可分成内外二层，内层是中国的沿海及台湾、外层是东南亚各国和海外华人。特别是海外妈祖文化的研究，对了解海外华人社会和信仰有着重大的意义。所以在台湾妈祖的信仰更能体会妈祖文化的人文精神。
