World Peace and Harmony: An Inspiration from Water
We all know that 70% of our body is made of water. From Dr. Emoto’s experiment, we understand the idea that if we have a virtuous thought, water will respond positively. Therefore, if all the cells in our body are virtuous, our body will stay healthy. There is no need to take any medicine even though we are ill. The unhealthy cells will automatically gradually recover from illness.
If we have an evil thought, a selfish mind, an arrogant thought, then the water will respond negatively and directly influence our body. This inspiration elaborates well on the idea that “All phenomena arise from our minds. Our environment changes according to our mind.” Our body is the closest phenomenon and environment to our mind.
Ven. Master Chin Kung’s speeches To keep our mind pure and at peace is like keeping a pond clean and undisturbed.
Buddhism is a most virtuous and perfect education directed by the Buddha towards all sentient beings in the universe.

Hence we now have a clear understanding of what religion is. Religion is education. What does it teach? When we read the sacred texts of all religions, which word occurs most frequently? Love.
God’s love is equal, universal, unconditional and true. We have all inherited the love of God. Therefore, we should learn from God and treat others with true love. If we are able to do so, our society will be filled with warmth and harmony.
To learn and practise Buddhism, we should first understand what Buddha is, what Dharma is, and what Buddha Dharma (Buddhism) is. Clearly understanding the answers to these questions will be very helpful for learning and practising Buddhism.
The real meaning of the ancestral ceremony is to remember our roots and be grateful to our ancestors. Trees must have roots to grow luxuriantly
Today is a special moment for our planet Earth. Today is the time that we need to devote ourselves to reviving the sacred tradition of religious education, to promote the education of universal love.
God’s love is equal, universal, unconditional and true. We have all inherited the love of God. Therefore, we should learn from God and treat others with true love. If we are able to do so, our society will be filled with warmth and harmony.
