Association of Master Chin Kung’s Friends at UNESCO

For the sake of world peace and the happiness of all, Venerable Master Chin Kung, Permanent Honorary President of the Association, advocates “Education First”. He said, "Education is essential for lasting peace and prosperity. All Gods are One and all faiths are brothers like branches of the same tree.” The advocation echoes the motto of the UNESCO -- “Building peace in the minds of men and women”.

Different countries, regions, cultures, ethnicities, religions, diverse groups and communities make our planet a beautiful homeland for everyone. A world in peace and harmony is the lasting aspiration of all humanity. The civilizations are abundantly enriched with diversity and the thriving vitality of the world can be found in multiplicity. A harmonious world is a goal resulted from the common wish of all people, and it will be achieved when all affinities sync in harmony. “One Belt, One Road” is a great strategy for worldwide economic and cultural prosperity. What we need now is the spirit and wisdom of harmony to resolve conflicts, to maintain world peace and stability, and to build a shared future for the global community with dedication and wisdom.

Thanks to the support of ambassadors and the World Fellowship of Buddhists, our association is holding Thrice Yearning Ceremony at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. During the ceremony, we will express filial love to our parents and sincere appreciation to our ancestors. We will praise the grace of God by offering our collective wish to protect Mother Earth and our vision of world peace and harmony. We will pray to relieve the sufferings of all and get happiness for everyone, to reach Heaven and Pure Land. The scripture reads, "Buddha Amitabha fills my mind, and my mind is Buddha Amitabha. Therefore, this land is Pure Land, and Pure Land is all around us.”

May all people fulfil their own destiny in life. May the universe enjoys everlasting peace.
