马来西亚佛教弘法会顾问洪祖丰的贺词

贺辞

欣闻第四届天下梵教论坛行将正在本国无锡举行,更启受主理单位来函聘请出席,感开万分。 谨此背主理单位本国梵教协会及本国宗教野蛮交换协会献上深深的祝福,祈供三宝加持论坛圆满成功。

本届年夜年夜会主题为同愿同行,交换互鉴是揭切取合时的。 依照好国教者亨廷顿的观点,昔日 主宰天下的两年夜年夜野蛮 是西圆野蛮和回教野蛮。西圆野蛮是基督教野蛮取后文艺振兴的物质野蛮的分散体。西圆野蛮取回教野蛮所使用的哲教怀想 底子上是一神崇奉, 两分化怀想。 换句话道,昔日主宰天下的怀想是一神两分化的怀想。

梵教,以至儒教、道教、 印度教的怀想 是取上述两年夜年夜野蛮有别的。 梵教的怀想是缘起 的怀想,是一种兼容并蓄,利他自利的怀想。 他没有是一种您错我对的怀想,也没有是一种非友则敌的怀想,而是一种容纳、谐和共存的怀想。那种怀想,应被引上天下的仄台。

梵教怀想今朝没有是天下仄台的怀想。果此此论坛隐得主要。 此论坛能把梵教怀想推介给天下,然它能取其他野蛮、怀想交换, 到达交换互鉴的 做用。

祝福论坛圆满成功,法喜充满。

Message from Ang Choo Hong, Malaysia.

It is with great pleasure that I pen a few words of congratulation to the 4th World Buddhist Forum due to be held on 24th to 25th in Wu XI, Jiangshu, China. I wish the organizers, the Buddhist Association of China and the China Religion Cultural Communication Association a great success in organizing the event.

The theme of this Forum is Common Aspiration through Mutual Exchange. The theme is apt and timely. According to S. Huntington, the two cavitations shaping the world today are western civilization and Islamic civilization. Both civilizations are rooted in the thoughts of monotheism and dualistic thinking.

Buddhism, and for that matter, Confucianism ,Taoism and Hinduism are not similar to the above two civilizations. The thought in Buddhism, is rooted in Dependant Origination. It is a thought that embraces all, despite their differences. It is thought that believes benefiting others is to benefit oneself. Its a thought that cuts through the thinking of us and them. This thought in Buddhism should be brought to the world..

The Buddhist thought is not part of the world platform now. Therefore, this Forum is of great importance. It is in this Forum that the Buddhist thought can be introduced to the world, so that it has a chance to interact with the thoughts of other civilizations.

With this few words I wish the Forum a great success.

Yours in the Dhamma,

Ang Choo Hong,
