CALLING FOR HARMONY RENAISSANCE FEED BACK

Dear U. N. Friends in Harmony

World harmony Organization is putting together a brochure on "Harmony Renaissance" announcing the mission to support United Nations in pursuing Harmony World. Harmony Renaissance is the momentum and inevitable tide we are waiting for following the U N Staff Day Forum. We earnestly seek your feed back on "Harmony Renaissance" as a harmony theoretical foundation for the United Nations as called by Dr. Noel Brown on U.N. Staff Day. The following is enclosed for your review and comment. Your comments, articles in English and Chinese and photos will be published and distributed worldwide.

WORLD HARMONY ORGANIZATION


HARMONY RENAISSANCE SPEECH AT U. N.

Honorary Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, distinguished U N officials, ladies and gentlemen:

I, Francis C W Fung, am honored to be here to represent World Harmony Organization (WHO). World Harmony Organization pursues and also advocates Harmony Renaissance. Harmony is mankind’s highest common value and Renaissance is action. Together Harmony Renaissance has new life. Our vision and mission is to provide the Harmony Renaissance theoretical foundation for United Nations to carry on its mission for world harmony.

I am here to share with you our Harmony Renaissance Preamble and Declaration. So without much ado here is our slide. I will talk around our Harmony Renaissance Preamble and Declaration, give you my explanations and answer questions at the end.

In the East, Harmony as a social science was evolved from natural science observation by Laozi. Human in harmony with the universe is called “Tian Ren He Yi.” Laozi left us with his 5000 words treatise Dao De Jing. It is the most translated Chinese book on way of life. The Chinese practice Fengshui which is a way to harmonize with nature and the environment. In the West, Einstein was also quoted as saying the order of nature is not accidental. In his words “Mother Nature does not play dice”. Harmony is the order of nature. Harmony belongs to the world and to the universe.

Harmony is the order of natural science and the fundamental law of the universe. Harmony is not passive. It advocates action and dynamic balance. Most people have the fallacy of thinking of harmony as static. We must think of harmony in terms of fluid dynamics, like the movement of air and water. It can be soft and it can be strong. It is in constant movement and influx for sure. Harmony is dynamic energy balance and is also the principle of universe creation. Through harmony interaction the universe is created. Without harmony our universe cannot be eternal.

From the very beginning, the universe is created by the infinite invisible energy in the firmament. The invisible energy that created the universe can also be called Dao. The word Dao in Chinese has two parts, one stands for the head, the other part for motion. Together they mean primal force that leads the way. Laozi said “Dao created one, one created two, two created three, three created all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang. Dynamic balance creates harmony”. Laozi’s harmony theory of universe is in unison with modern quantum physics. If we have time I can go into more detail about Laozi’s theory of universe creation.

Harmony Renaissance is the guiding principle to be applied to all natural and social sciences. Harmony governs all human relations from within us, between people, in the family, in the society, between citizens and government, among governments and among all people in this global village. It can be applied to ecology, green energy inventions, and green energy developments for example. Harmony includes all the important virtues to make the world harmonious. These include among others, forgiveness, humility, equity, patience, tolerance and acceptance.

Harmony Renaissance is the break through that will take us to the next level of human creativity and accomplishment beyond European Renaissance. European Renaissance brought us democracy and modern science. Harmony Renaissance includes democracy, and it unshackles us from all bondage and baggage of human distrust. It resolves hostilities and reduces rich and poor disparity. Harmony Renaissance is the inevitable tide we are waiting for. It will allow nations on this global village really moving towards win-win mutual development. It the second creative wave after European renaissance that will bring all mankind to the next level of accomplishment.

You can ask me questions on harmony renaissance, Harmony Faith. Harmony Faith is the 21st Century faith to prepare ourselves for self fulfillment and world harmony renaissance. The first global World Harmony City is our joint project proposal with Sungroup USA and Future Trends International. It is a grand mission for the United Nations and all of us in green energy depository, inventions, solutions and demonstrations and harmonious energy distribution.

May Harmony Renaissance Prevail in the World!

fair share.
When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, Free Tibet
you screamed, It Was an Invasion!
When tried Communism, you hated us for being Communist.

CHINA, TIBET AND THE CHINESE NATION

China, Tibet and Chinese nation
Edit and Translation by World Harmony Otganization

Tibet is part of China for more than 700 years

(You may have heard a lot about Chinese invasion of Tibet or sympathetic about Tibet Independent movement in Western media. Do you know that China has 56 nationalities and is never a racist country in history? Do you know that Tibetan immigrated to Tibet several thousand years ago from other part of China? Do you know that when Red Army entered Tibet in 1951, they also recovered other part of China (Chinese army invaded China????). Do you know that before 1951, the feudal lords in Tibet who constituted only five percent of the population possessed 95 percent of the means of production? Do you know that Buddhism was brought into Tibet from China Proper before being developed into the current state? Read the Tibet history before passing your judgment about a nation you have been misled in centuries.)

British and America working hard to separate Tibet from China since 19th century.

During the 19th century, Chinese Qing government control weakened, and prosperity diminished. China suffered massive social strife, economic stagnation, explosive population growth, and Western penetration and influence. Britain's desire to continue its illegal opium trade with China collided with imperial edicts prohibiting the addictive drug, and the First Opium War erupted in 1840. China lost the war; subsequently, Britain and other Western powers, including the United States, forcibly occupied "concessions" and gained special commercial privileges. Hong Kong was ceded to Britain in 1842 under the Treaty of Nanjing, and in 1898, when the Opium Wars finally ended, Britain executed a 99-year lease of the New Territories, significantly expanding the size of the Hong Kong colony.

British aggressors invaded China's Tibet twice in 1888 and 1904. The Tibetan army and civilians rose to resist but were defeated. In the second aggressive war against Tibet, the British army occupied Lhasa, and the 13th Dalai Lama was forced to flee from the city. The invaders compelled the Tibetan local government officials to sign the Lhasa Convention. But because the Ministry of External Affairs of the Qing government believed the Lhasa Convention would do damage to national sovereignty, the high commissioner stationed in Tibet by the Qing government refused to sign it, leaving it ineffectual.
Britain took advantage of the political chaos in China after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the new birth of the Republic of China in 1901, and put before the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs a five-point demand, indicating the denial of China's sovereignty over Tibet. Chinese government rejected the brutal demand.
In 1913 the British government inveigled the Tibetan authorities into declaring independence with the supervision and full support by British. Simply the British would like to turn Tibet into British colony like India. Once again British failed.
In the summer of 1942, the Tibetan local government, with the support of the British representative, announced the establishment of a "foreign affairs bureau," and openly carried out "Tibetan independence" activities. These actions were made public and condemned unanimously by the Chinese people. The national government also issued a stern warning. Under this pressure, the Tibetan local government had no choice but to withdraw its decision and reported the change to the national government.

In 1949, America announced in a US newspaper: “The United States is ready to recognize Tibet as an independent and free country."
In 1950, a load of American weaponry was shipped into Tibet through Calcutta in order to help resist the China army entry into Tibet. In the same year, US Secretary of State Dean Acheson openly slandered China's liberation of its own territory of Tibet as "invasion." In the same month the United States prodded some other countries to propose a motion at the United Nations for intervention in China's Tibet. The scheme was unsuccessful in face of the stern stand of the Chinese government and the opposition of some countries.

Former US President George Bush once declared that the coastal areas of China, plus Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, would split. The US' CIA, with an investment of US$245,000, entrusted the University of Hawaii to research whether the tense situations in ethnic areas in China will lead to a split of the country. The research results disappointed them.

In 1957 the CIA culled six young men from among Tibetans residing abroad and sent them to Guam of the United States to receive training in map-reading, radio transmission, shooting and parachuting. Subsequently, the United States trained 170 "Kamba guerrillas" in batches in Hale Camp, Colorado. The trained "Kamba guerrillas" were airdropped or sneaked into Tibet to execute CIA's plan activities. In May 1958, two agents trained by the Americans in the first batch brought a transceiver to the headquarter, which was set up by the rebel leader Anzhugcang Goinbo Zhaxi in Shannan, to make contact with the CIA. United States air-dropped arms and ammunition, including 20 sub-machine guns, two mortars, 100 rifles, 600 hand-grenades, 600 artillery shells and close to 40,000 bullets, to the rebels in the plateau called Chigu Lama Thang. During the same period, United States clandestinely shipped large amounts of arms and ammunition overland to the rebels entrenched in the Shannan area.

It was obvious that 1959 Tibet rebellion was all planned by American government
Form there on, America has been continuously backing the independent movement of Tibet all along. A movie "Seven Years in Tibet" produced by U.S. fooled the American with distorted historical facts. Funding was poured into foundations in U.S. to continue the anti-Chinese activities.

China's sovereignty on Tibet for over 700 years

Millions of files in both Chinese and Tibetan recording historical facts over more than seven centuries are being kept in the archives of Beijing, Nanjing and Lhasa. No government of any country in the world has ever recognized Tibet as an independent state.
British Foreign Secretary Lord Lansdowne, in a formal instruction he sent out in 1904, called Tibet "a province of the Chinese Empire."
In his speech at the Lok Sabba in 1954, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, "Over the past several hundred years, as far as I know, at no time has any foreign country denied China's sovereignty over Tibet."

In Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, a statue of the Tang Princess Wen Cheng, who married the Tubo tsampo, king of Tibet, in 641, is still enshrined and worshiped in the Potala Palace. The Tang-Tubo Alliance Monument erected in 823 still stands in the square in front of the Jokhang Monastery. The monument inscription reads in part, "The two sovereigns, uncle and nephew, having come to agreement that their territories be united as one, have signed this alliance of great peace to last for eternity! May God and humanity bear witness thereto so that it may be praised from generation to generation."

Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368)

The Yuan emperor established the Xuanzheng Yuan or Ministry for the Spread of Governance to directly handle important military and political affairs of the Tibet region. Choice of its members lay with the emperor and its reports were submitted directly to the monarch.
The central government of the Yuan Dynasty sent officials into Tibet to set up post stations, whose size varied according to the local population, topography and resources. These post stations were linked up in a communication line extending from Tibet up to Dadu (present-day Beijing).

The central government of the Yuan Dynasty also dispatched officials into Tibet to conduct censuses, establish the number of corvee laborers in areas under various wanhu offices and decide the number of corvee laborers, provisions and animal transport the areas along the post route had to supply. Such censuses were conducted three times in Tibet, in 1268, 1287 and 1334..

Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)

In 1368 the Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan Dynasty in China, and inherited the right to rule Tibet.
The central government of the Ming Dynasty retained most of the titles and ranks of official positions instituted during the Yuan Dynasty. In the central and eastern parts of present-day Tibet, the Dbus-Gtsang Itinerant High Commander and the Mdo-khams Itinerant High Commander were set up respectively.
Equivalent to provincial-level military organs, they operated under the Sh
aanxi Itinerant High Commander and, at the same time, handled civil administration. In Ngari in west Tibet, the E-Li-Si Army-Civilian Marshal Office was instituted. Leading officials of these organs were all appointed by the central government.

The Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Lama are the two leading incarnation hierarchies of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The Gelug Sect rose during the Ming Dynasty, and the 3rd Dalai Lama was the abbot of one of the sect's monasteries. The central government of the Ming Dynasty showed him special favor by allowing him to pay tribute. In 1587 he was granted the title of Dorjichang or Vajradhara Dalai Lama.
Any official of the Tibetan local government who offended the law was punished by the central government.

Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

When the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty in 1644, it further strengthened administration over Tibet.
In 1653 and 1713, the Qing emperors granted honorific titles to the 5th Dalai Lama and the 5th Bainqen Lama, henceforth officially establishing the titles of the Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Erdeni and their political and religious status in Tibet.

The Qing emperor made a young Living Buddha of the Xikang area the 7th Dalai Lama and had him escorted into Tibet, and appointed four Tibetan officials renowned for meritorious service "Galoins" to handle Tibet's political affairs.
In order to perfect Tibet's administrative organizations, the Qing Dynasty on many occasions enacted "regulations" to rectify and reform old systems and establish new ones. The Authorized Regulations for the Better Governing of Tibet, promulgated in 1793, had 29 articles. Their major purport was:
The Qing government holds the power to confirm the reincarnation of all deceased high Living Buddhas of Tibet including the Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Erdeni.

The high commissioners will supervise the handling of Tibetan affairs on behalf of the central government, enjoying the equal standing with the Dalai Lama and the Bainqen Erdeni. All the Galoins and those below them are subordinates.

Republic of China (1911-1949)

In 1913, the British government forced the Beijing government to participate in a tripartite conference of China, Britain and Tibet, namely the Simla Conference held at the behest of the British government.
On July 3, 1914, the Chinese government representative Chen Yifan upon instruction refused to sign the Simla Convention. In his statement, Chen said, "Government of China refuses to recognize any agreement which His Majesty's Government and Tibet might conclude independently either now or in the future." The Chinese government also sent a note to the British government, reiterating its position.
In the summer of 1942, the Tibetan local government, with the support of the British representative, announced the establishment of a "foreign affairs bureau," and openly carried out "Tibetan independence" activities. These actions, as soon as they were made public, were condemned unanimously by the Chinese people. The national government also issued a stern warning. Under this pressure, the Tibetan local government had no choice but to withdraw its decision and reported the change to the national government

People's Republic of China (1949 - now)

After a long civil war and the World War II, Chinese people finally established Peoples' Republic of China on October 1, 1949. All foreign powers had been driven out of China. PRC continued in recovering the rest of Mainland China and its army entered Tibet in 1951.
Tibet is one of the Autonomies in China. So far no country in this world ever raised doubt in China 's sovereignty right over Tibet. Any claim of Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959 is nonsense. There are no historical evidences or legal positions that China has lost its sovereignty over Tibet. "Invasion" has no meaning to a country exercising its sovereignty right on its own land.

Freedom and Human Right

Before 1951, Tibet was under a feudal serfdom characterized by the dictatorship of upper-class monks and nobles. The feudal lords who constituted only five percent of the population possessed 95 percent of the means of production. Tibet serfs were even more miserable than the black slaves in the United States before the civil war. Tibet was at that time not peaceful at all because the struggles between the slaves and their lords were very fierce.

Before 1951, there were no other religions allowed in Tibet. There were evidences that missioners were killed in Tibet in the past.
Tibetans now enjoy their freedom of religions and are liberated from the feudal serfdom system. They live in a much better society than before.

It is obvious that British and America support to Tibet independent movement is not for freedom or human right. It is purely a political game. It shows again and again their ambitious in taking over China and their continuous anti-Chinese sentiment, which has been exercised for a few hundred years.
中国、西藏和中华民族

西藏七百多年前就是中国的一部分

(你可能已听过不少西方媒体关于中国侵略西藏或耸人听闻的西藏独立运动。但是,你们知道吗?中国有56个民族,历史上从来就不是一个种族主义国家。你们知道吗?几千年来,西藏人从中国其他地区移民来到西藏。你们知道吗,1951年当解放军进入西藏时,他们也解放了中国的其他地区,(中国军队入侵中国?这不是太好笑了吗)。你们知道吗,1951年之前,西藏的封建领主只有总人口的5 %,却占有95 %的财产。你们知道吗?佛教从中国正常传入西藏,然后发展到目前的状态?要判断一个你已被误导了几百年的民族,你应该先读一读西藏的历史) 。

十九世纪以来,为将西藏分裂出中国,英美两国不遗余力

十九世纪,中国遭受了大规模的社会动乱,经济停滞,人口爆增,西方渗透,无恶不作。清朝政府软弱无能,荣景不再。英国不顾其自身帝国禁止销售上瘾毒品的法令,持续非法大量向中国贩卖鸦片,1840年终于爆发了第一次鸦片战争,中国战败。后来,英国和其他西方列强,包括美国,强行占领“租界” ,得到商业特权。1842年,南京条约把香港被割让给英国。1898年,鸦片战争终于结束,英国强行租借新界99年,大规模扩大香港殖民地的面积。

1888年和1904年,英国侵略者两次侵略中国西藏。西藏军民奋起抵抗,但被打败。第二次侵略西藏时,英军进占拉萨,十三世达赖喇嘛被迫逃离该城。侵略者迫使西藏地方政府官员签订了拉萨条约。但由于清政府对外商务部认为拉萨公约有损国家主权,清政府驻藏高级专员拒绝签署,因而失效。

英国利用中国清朝崩溃和中华民国诞生时期的政治混乱局面,于1901年向中国外交部提出五点要求,否定中国对西藏的主权。中国政府拒绝了这一无理要求

1913年,英国政府冒充西藏当局宣布独立,全面由英国人监督和支持。简单来说,英国要把西藏变成象印度一样的英国殖民地。但英国人再次失败。
1942年夏天,西藏当地政府在英方代表的支持下,宣布成立一个“外交局” ,公开进行“西藏独立”活动。这些行动受到中国人民的一致公开谴责。国民政府也发出严正警告。在此压力下,西藏地方政府不得不撤回决定,并将改变向国民政府报告。
1949年,美国政府在一家美国报纸上宣布:“美国准备承认西藏是一个独立自由的国家” 。
1950年,美国经加尔各答向西藏运送大量武器,帮助抵抗进入西藏的中国军队。同年,美国国务卿迪安·艾奇逊公开诬蔑中国解放自己的领土西藏为“入侵” 。同一个月,美国拉拢其他一些国家在联合国提出干预中国西藏的议案。面对中国政府的严峻立场和一些国家的反对,该计划没有成功。

美国前总统乔治布什曾宣称,中国沿海地区加上西藏、新疆和内蒙古,都可能分隔。美国中央情报局,投资245,000美元,委托夏威夷大学,研究中国少数民族地区局势是否紧张至导致国家分裂。研究结果让他们大失所望。

1957年,美国中央情报局挑选了6名居住在国外的藏族男青年,送去关岛接受训练,从地图阅读、无线电收发、射击、空降等。随后,美国在科罗拉多州黑尔营分批训练了170名 “坎巴游击队” 。受过训练的“坎巴游击队” ,被空降或潜入西藏执行中情局的计划。1958年5月,美国培训出来的首批两名特工人员,带了无线电收发器到由叛军领袖 anzhugcang goinbo在山南扎西成立的总部,和中情局接触。美国空投武器弹药给在名叫哲古喇嘛唐高原的叛乱分子,包括20挺机枪,两门迫击炮, 100支步枪, 600个手榴弹, 600枚炮弹和近40000发子弹。同一时期,美国还从陆路向盘踞在山南地区的叛乱分子秘密运送了大量的武器弹药。
很明显,1959年的西藏叛乱,全部都是由美国政府一手策划的。

事实上,美国一直不断支持西藏的独立运动。美国制作的电影“西藏七年”明目张胆地歪曲历史事实,愚弄美国大众。资金被注入美国国内的基金会,继续从事反华活动。

中国在西藏拥有主权超过700年

存放在北京、南京、拉萨档案馆的以藏汉两种文字记录的数百万历史档案,记录着七个多世纪以来的史实。世界上从来没有任何国家的政府承认西藏是一个独立的国家。
英国外交大臣蓝斯唐候爵在他1904年发出的一份正式声明中指出,“西藏是中华帝国的一个省” 。
1954年,印度总理尼赫鲁在络萨巴讲话时说:“据我所知,过去的几百年里,任何时候都没有任何外国否认中国对西藏的主权” 。
在西藏自治区首府拉萨,公元641年嫁给西藏吐蕃国王松赞干布的唐代公主文成雕像,仍然在布达拉宫供奉和祭祀。公元823年唐朝-吐蕃结盟的“甥舅同盟碑”,依然矗立在大昭寺广场前。碑文写着。”今蕃漢兩國,所守見管本界,界以東悉為大唐國境,以西盡是大蕃境土,彼此不為寇、不舉兵、不相侵。上帝众生,共同见证,世代永记” 。

元朝 (1279-1368)

元代皇帝确立宣政院或称总制院,直接受理西藏地区的重要军事和政治事务。成员由皇帝选择,其报告直接交给藏王。
元朝中央政府派遣官员到西藏设立驿站,其规模根据当地人口、地形和资源而定,各有不同。这些驿站连成一条通信线路,从西藏延伸至大渡河(现已延到北京)。
元朝中央政府也派遣官员到西藏指导人口普查,在若干地区的万户府建立农奴花名册,并决定并规定邮政干线的沿线地区的运输需要多少农奴和动物。西藏的这种普查,于1268年、1287年和1334年共进行了3次。

明朝 (1368-1644)

1368年,明朝取代元朝继承中国对西藏的统治权。
明代中央政府保留了元代大部分官职名称及级别。在当代西藏中部和东部,设立了卫藏流动高级指挥官和多康区域流动高级指挥官。他们相当于省一级的军事机关,是陕西流动高级指挥官的下属,并在同一时间处理民事。西藏西部阿里另设置的”俄力思军民元帅府”。府内指挥官概由中央政府任命的。

达赖喇嘛和班禅喇嘛是藏传佛教格鲁派的两大主导化身层次。明朝期间格鲁派玫瑰,第三世达赖喇嘛原是该教寺庙的住持之一。明代中央政府的显得对他特别青睐,让他纳贡。在1587年授予他达赖喇嘛称号。
西藏地方政府的任何官员触犯法律,概由中央政府惩处。

清朝 (1644-1911)

1644年,清王朝取代明朝,政府进一步加强对西藏的管理。
1653年和1713年,清朝皇帝册封第五届达赖喇嘛和第五世班禅喇嘛荣誉职衔,从此正式建立达赖喇嘛和班禅额尔德尼职称在西藏政治和宗教的地位。
清朝皇帝在西康区册封了一个年轻活佛即第七届达赖喇嘛并护送他到西藏,并任命了四个著名的藏族官员“噶伦”(最高一级藏族官员)来处理西藏的政治事务。
为完善西藏的行政机构,清朝多次颁布“条例” ,整顿和改革旧体,建立新制。1793年颁布了29条法规,更有效地治理西藏。要旨是:
清政府掌握确认西藏去世高僧转世灵童的权力,包括达赖喇嘛和班禅额尔德尼。
高级专员代表中央政府督促处理西藏事务,享有与达赖喇嘛和班禅额尔德尼平等的地位。所有噶伦及以下官员都是其下属。

民国 (1911-1949)

1913年,英国政府迫使北京政府出席由中国、英国和西藏参加的三方会议,即由英国政府主持的西姆拉会议。
1914年7月3日,中国政府指示代表陈一凡,拒绝在西姆拉公约上签字。陈在声明中说,“中国政府不承认任何英国政府的可能导致西藏独立的协议,不论是现在或未来” 。中国政府还给英国政府发出一个照会,重申其立场。
1942年夏天,西藏当地政府在英方代表的支持下,宣布成立一个”外交局” ,公开进行”西藏独立”活动。这些勾当一旦公诸于世,即受到中国人民的一致谴责。国民政府也发出严正警告。在此压力下,西藏地方政府不得不撤回其决定,并向国民政府报告了决定的改变。

中华人民共和国 (1949 - now)

经过二次世界大战和长期内战,中国人民终于在1949年10月1日建立了人民共和国。所有外国列强被赶出中国。中国大陆其它地区得到解放。1950年,中国军队进入西藏。
西藏是中国的一个自治区。迄今为止,世界上没有任何一个国家在任何时候对中国持有西藏的主权提出过疑问。任何关于中国1959年入侵西藏的叫嚣都是胡说八道。没有历史证据或法律依据证明中国已失去对西藏的主权。把一个国家在自己的土地上行使自己的主权说成“入侵”毫无意义。

HARMONY RENAISSANCE SONG

HARMONY RENAISSANCE
Lyrics: Francis Fung. Music: Terry J.Rucker
Ying and Yang in Dynamic balance creates...Harmony.
Ultimately, ying contains yang,
Ultimately, Soft overcomes hard,
Ultimatley, Gentle triumphs over violence.
Ultimately harmony will surely come.
I wish the world would respect, different cultures,
I wish the world would accept, diverse ideologies,
I wish the world would respect, different beliefs,
I wish the world could sing in perfect harmony.
Gentle people prefer harmony over conformity.
Petty people prefer, conformity over harmony.
The sea accepts hundreds of rivers,

Dear Honorable Nobel Laureate,

The conflicting world of today calls for the world to advocate harmony. Harmony precedes peace in the world. Without harmony peace cannot last. World harmony predicates on the world reaching harmony consensus. Harmony is the highest common value. All major religions of the world teach harmony and brotherhood. Harmony belongs to the world. Harmony belongs to the universe.

Harmony is an ancient philosophy that has been neglected. It is time to revive and rediscover harmony for global win-win mutual development. The only way to resolve conflicts, improve our ecology and reduce rich and poor disparity is for all citizens of the world to practice harmony from within and reaching out beyond the family, society, nation and to the world.

World Harmony Organization (WHO) is calling for Harmony Renaissance to unite the world. Unity in diversity can only happen when we really believe in tolerance, respect, equity, acceptance, humility, patience, forgiveness and renounce violence. Harmony among nations is achievable through Harmony Diplomacy and Harmony Faith.

To begin with, we are calling for a planning meeting of Nobel Laureates to initiate Harmony Renaissance. For discussion purpose we have drafted the following Harmony Renaissance Preamble and Harmony Renaissance Declaration. This draft has been scheduled for announcement at the Spring of United Nations function on April 25, 2008 in U. N., New York Headquarter.

Together with Sungroup USA, World Harmony Organization also drafted a proposal for the First World Harmony City to be launched as part of our effort to initiate Harmony Renaissance. In the following we have also enclosed the First World Harmony City Objectives for your review. In the proposal we have included a plan for establishing a United Nations Harmony University for the Honorable Ban Ki-Moon’s and U.N.’s review, consideration and support. The prime purpose of the University will be training the highest caliber of selected students from all over the world. They will become dedicated Harmony volunteers and ambassadors to pursuit and work for harmony renaissance worldwide.

You are invited to come to the United Nations meeting on April 25, 2008 to put together a plan for world harmony renaissance. Your response to this invitation is earnestly expected and will be greatly appreciated. The U.N. invitation is also enclosed. Kindly email your early response to contact@worldharmoinyorg.net

May Harmony Renaissance Prevail in the World!

HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

INTRODUCTION

The major religions of the world as we know today all originated in Greater Asia which includes the Middle East and South Asia. This is no coincidence, as all monotheistic religions believe in the same God, Allah, Creator, Heaven or what other names we use. What makes religions different is cultural heritage. Each major religion’s man made image of God is thus inherently different. This fixation on the difference of each culture’s institutionalized and man made image of God is unnecessary and divisive.

There can only be one creator for all mankind regardless of what name is used or what religion one believes in. Thus in time, all religions must converge into one faith by transcending each religion’s cultural fixations and universally accepting one creator without a man made image. This is the evitable progressive development.The eminent contemporary Ying Yang master Ma Shuhai, in his book “Tong Dao”, classified the continuous development of human religions into four progressive stages. The following description bears significant additional explanation by the present author.

The stage of primitive idols worship: This was the pure irrational superstition stage. When man was very much in awe of subject to nature’s destructive powers such as fire water and wind.

The stage of trust in one communicative God: Monotheistic faiths that evolve around one all mighty and powerful creators that man could develop a relation with and turn to for help. These types of institutionalized faiths with a specific creator with man- made image include most of the major religion s of today. Today mankind as a whole is suffering from the divisive forces of this culturally specific monotheism. The exception being Buddhism, which teaches believers to find inner peace and Buddha within oneself without the monotheistic creator. Chinese accept Dao as the force of universe creation which is distinct from the Judah-Christian tradition.

The rational stage of scientific religion: When man believes in his rational power. In this stage man can turn to science to explain all aspects of life except the meaning of life. This ushered in the modern Bahai Faith, which upholds progressive revelation from God. Bahai faith as a modern religion also emphasizes unity of religion and science. These two important concepts possibly herald in the era of less dependency on one Monotheistic creator in a man- made image. .

The final stage is Harmony Faith, Order of the Universe: This is the life study of a final and decisive faith that has confidence in the modern discovery of the all prevalent and infinite invisible dark energy of the universe. We are currently at the very beginning of this life study. To become a universal faith it must do without a man-made creator image. We can also call this the relative rational inductive stage.

HARMONY FAITH, ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

In the following concise dissertation we will explain how this natural faith can reconcile science and religion once and for all. On top of that we will give the meaning of life a very achievable goal. In this stage the door is also open for continuing human progressive inspiration from the omnipresent and all prevalent Dao, the invisible dark energy that created the universe. Together with modern science this concept makes a creator with man made image unnecessary.Harmony is a universal common value; it is also a vision statement for all. It is the order of nature and the universe for all to emulate. Harmony is the dynamic balance that returns nature’s calamities to tranquility. Without harmony the universe cannot be eternal. In harmony we can find true belief that transcends all cultures and religions.

The meaning of life is to seek harmony within our inner self. Humans are born with a spiritual soul that develops to seek self fulfillment and self salvation. Our soul has a conscience that elevates us from total animal selfishness. As our soul grows to its maturity we must achieve our own harmony. A person at the end of his journey reconciles with his own soul to achieve harmony and peace of mind. The difference between a tormented soul and a soul in harmony at our death is the difference between hell and heaven.The invisible energy in the firmament created the universe and all creatures. This is our creator regardless of our religion and belief.

Our soul is an energy field that grows with our accomplishments on earth. With differing strengths embedded in our DNA Humans are not created equal just as sure our souls will not develop equally. Static equality is not what life is all about. Each soul attaining its own harmony with itself is the meaning of life. The achievement of harmony by nature and us is a dynamic process. The evolution of nature and life are dynamic processes and must not be considered as static phenomena. Harmony renaissance is a dynamic process and calls for proactive action.There is a fine line between a believer and non believer of any religion. A true creator will accept all because all humans attest to harmony. Cultural differences are only in form and not in essence.

Harmony is the salvation of mankind and the king of unity in diversity. The universe and all living creations through evolution are created by the invisible energy and are sustained by energy. This theory without man made heavenly images does not contradict conventional religious beliefs. Furthermore it is a rational way of agreeing with modern sciences. Our soul is merely an energy field that contains our spirit, life time beliefs and experiences. It exists eternally and has a beginning and no end after our death. Each soul can accomplish harmony with itself but souls are not necessarily equal. We are here on earth to develop our own soul from its early immature conception.Religions begin with search of truth, goodness and beauty. This search will ultimately help us to reach harmony at death. All religions preach harmony because harmony is the most common value and the greatest common denominator of mankind. Conflicts in religion are caused by human corruption.

Belief in harmony, the universal truth, does not need a man made image of creator. The invisible energy as the creator of the universe does not contradict with modern science. This imaging of the creator does not contradict any religious beliefs and is not divisive. In time this imaging of the creator without man made figure will reconcile all religions as the true scientific belief. According to modern science the invisible energy of the universe is all powerful and omnipresent. It is part of the paradigm of Faith in Harmony. Many religions believe in brotherhood of mankind. What has kept us from achieving unity in diversity are the differences in religious culture and the cultural centric creator figures conjured by different religions.The ancient harmony cultural philosophy promulgated by Lao-tzu and Confucius did not rely on man made images of creators. As an ancient culture China did not create a religion of its own. Modern Chinese are more accepting of outside religions. This is witnessed by the lack of major religious wars in China despite the importation of many outside religions. Over two thousand years harmony philosophy modified Chinese major beliefs and outside religions to suit China’s cultural heritage. China’s ancient harmony philosophy fulfills her people’s need for self fulfillment and spiritual tranquility. This harmonizing process of various belief systems can be a model for the future world harmony.

A person who does not practice institutionalized religion can achieve inner peace through harmony practices. The universal belief in the invisible energy as the creator in the firmament reconciles all religions and faiths. Faith in Harmony is thus the most acceptable Faith that transcends mankind’s conflicts of fear and greed. Harmony on earth that promises unity in diversity is the promise of Kingdom on Earth and the Most Great Peace on earth by all sages and prophets. A person achieves self fulfillment has reached harmony in his own soul and his life is complete and his soul is eternal and everlasting without torment.We believe in harmony renaissance which is the pursuit of harmony as a way of life and a living faith. Harmony is a universal common value and renaissance is action. Harmony propagates by resonance, nature's preferred way of propagation. Faith in harmony gives hope of heaven on earth for all, regardless of any religion or creed. Faith in harmony as order of nature does not worship man made image of creators.

For all mankind whether belonging to organized religion or not we can seek hope and brotherhood through soul searching harmony.Our search for harmony renaissance is multifaceted and all inclusive. Our perspectives include East and West culture, world civilization and history, harmony diplomacy, world religions, ancient philosophy and modern science. For harmony to be a true universal faith it must reconcile with scientific observations.We believe in self salvation through Faith in Harmony practices. Our actions shall encompass all human activities such as world affairs, commerce, education, cultural activities and religious or non religious functions. Specifically at this moment in history our action should enhance peace, reduce conflict, harmonize world religions, and activate harmony culture, pursuit harmony education.

nited Nations is at a cross road. It is time to advocate U. N. harmony civilization so all 193 nations can converse and consult with universal Harmony common value. 21st century is the beginning of Harmony renaissance. The world mission is to be ready for human's second creative wave to lead us to the next higher level of common accomplishment. World Harmony will bring the whole world into action for a new millennium of peace and prosperity with unfettered collective energy surpassing European renaissance.

HARMONY RENAISSANCE PREAMBLE AND DECLARATION

“HARMONY RENAISSANCE PREAMBLE”In the East harmony as a social science theory was evolved from natural scienceobservation by Lao Zi. Human in harmony with the universe is called Tian Ren He Yi.Einstein was also quoted as saying the order of nature is not accidental. Harmony is theorder of nature. Harmony belongs to the World and to the Universe.

"HARMONY RENAISSANCE DECLARATION"Harmony is the highest common value. Renaissance is action. Together they have life.Harmony is the order of natural science and the fundamental law of the universe.Harmony is dynamic energy balance and is also the principle of universe creation.From the very beginning, the Universe is created by the infinite invisible energy in thefirmament.The invisible energy that created the universe can also be called DAO.Lao Zi said "Dao created one, one created two, two created three, three created all things.All things carry Ying and embrace Yang. Dynamicbalance creates harmony."
Lao Zi's harmony theory of universe is in unison with modern quantum physics.Harmony renaissance is the guiding principle to be applied to natural and social sciences.It is the break through that will take us to the next level of human creativity andaccomplishment beyond European Renaissance.

PERSONAL HARMONY PRACTICE AND HARMONY RENAISSANCE

PERSONAL HARMONY PRACTICE AND HARMONY RENAISSANCE
www.worldharmonyorg.net

Dear Friends,In the following discussion, for our purpose, self discipline and inner peace can be interchanged. Another way to define inner peace is self discipline through the practice of harmony. There are many diverse ways of achieving inner peace; this is also one of the principles of harmony. For example, some achieve inner peace through scholarly accomplishments or higher goals in commerce, religion, and philanthropy. Ultimately, for lasting inner peace, one must practice sustainable self discipline. For self discipline to work it must be a consistent process and sustainable through life. Relying on outside stimulation is not sustainable through life.To sustain self discipline, one needs to combine higher goals with some form of regular personal practice such as writing with a theme, calligraphy, meditation, yoga, Taichi, dancing, singing, or contemplating nature and beauty. For most people it usually is a combination of diverse methods. There is no one single solution.

In a world of diverse cultures, harmony opens a world of diverse self discipline practices.For myself, I complement my self discipline with harmony belief and regular Taichi practices. I have been at it for over thirty years. Frankly, self discipline with harmony has been more difficult to achieve than many of my other career undertakings. It is my final challenge. Taichi, which means ultimate in Chinese, is a form of moving meditation, and self defense. Taichi embraces the ultimate harmony principle of soft conquers hard. In Taichi you yield but maintain your balance and your conviction in the ultimate harmony principle. This conviction is hard to maintain in life when force and war often temporarily succeed. But the dark (invisible) energy in the eternal universe proves that Ying (the soft) contains Yang (the hard).Harmony and Taichi yielding to absorb confrontation does not mean giving up nor defeatist belief. Far from it, harmony is an advocacy and everlasting, just like the universe. As a fluid mechanics major, I imaging myself as moving like a fluid when practice Taichi.

Fluid, the softest material, in the form of water and air goes around what is in their way and eventually wears out the hardest object. While they are blocked they will continually build up their resistance to overcome. Water can float and sink the mightiest ship. Air as light as it is, can lift and tail spin the biggest air borne vehicle human can conceive.Harmony, as order of dynamic balance, advocates soft overcomes hard and Ying contains Yang. When harmony is practiced like the motions of fluids it instills that conviction. Coupled with personal consistent practice like Taichi, meditation, or yoga, harmony can be sustaining. In Chinese teaching there is a saying "XIU SHEN, QI JIA, ZI GUO, PING TIEN ZIA". In today's conflicting world the appropriate translation is "Self discipline, Family unity, Democracy, World Harmony". In world culture it is also important to quote

"Be proud you are citizens of the world and not citizens of one country". www.worldharmonyorg.netMay Harmony Prevail in the World !Francis C. W. Fung, Ph. D.

HARMONY IS NATURAL SCIENCE

HARMONY IS NATURAL SCIENCE
www.worldharmonyorg.netHARMONY IS NATURAL SCIENCE, By Francis C. W. Fung, PH.D.

Harmony is human science developed from natural science. The order of nature is dynamic balance in pursuit of harmony as illustrated by the Daoist sign of life. Einstein said that God does not play dice with nature. Another way of putting it is "Nature seeks harmony and harmony is the order of nature." The seasons we observed, the occurrences of floods, typhoons and tsunamis are all testimonials of natural acts seeking harmony. They are large events in the victims' life, but small dynamic balances to achieve harmony compared to the size of the earth. These natural phenomena are caused by pressure and temperature imbalances. Human beings are endowed with intellects that are above natural phenomena. Our ideology differences can create wars that are more destructive than any earthly natural forces.

We believe we can control nature. In reality human beings are part of the natural order. All ideology struggles are imbalances that must eventually return to harmony, the order of nature. Peace can only be temporary without harmony. Harmony is the ultimate human virtue of tolerance, respect, acceptance, forgiveness and patience with other cultures, religions, political systems and ideologies.The universe was created by dark energy (the Ying), by virtue of the dynamic creation process the universe will continue to expand at an enormous scale.

In Dao De Jing, Dao besides meaning the way, can also be interpreted as the dark energy. De is virtue and harmony is the ultimate human virtue. The gems contained in Dao De Jing warrant a concerted effort to reinterpret Dao De Jing from the perspective of modern science. World harmony renaissance can free the collective mind of all people in the world to pursuit even broader scientific development. www.worldharmonyorg.net

HARMONY PROPAGATES BY RESONANCE

Harmony Propagates by Resoance
www.chinaview.cn 2007-04-10 11:43:49 www.worldharmonyorg.netBY FRANCIS C. W. FUNG, PH.D. BEIJING, April 10 (Xinhuanet) --

Harmony is the order of nature. Resonance is nature's preferred way of propagation. We resonate in harmony in a chorus. We receive multitudes of signals and information through sound waves, light waves, Radio, TV, Internet waves and so on in the air through all types of harmony resonances by way of physical, electronic and other natural phenomena too numerous to mention. In harmony our hearts can resonate together. The annual World Harmony Cultural Festival will cause harmony to resonate in people's hearts. I will persist.Justice opens our eyes to the world's disharmony. By practicing harmony through necessary self discipline we each pave the way for bringing harmony through resonance.

Harmony premise is tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equity, humility and patience. As great as religion and democracy are as the two other pillars of human main culture besides harmony, they have been lacking in unifying the world in diversity even after 2500 years. The inadequacy lies in the fixation of each religion's individual institutionalized God. In the case of democracy the rueful disregard of respective nation's historical development, disrespect for individual nationalistic cultures, coupled with coercion and use of military force greatly tarnished its image.Harmony being the most universal value and nature's order will propagate by resonance, nature's preferred way. Harmony does not need to be institutionalized because it belongs to the world. By its very principle, It renounces force and violence. Its ultimate believe is that the softest triumphs over the hardest by patience and not necessary through passivity. Just like the erosion of the hardest by the softest elements air and water as I always image. To be soft and gentle require more discipline than to be hard and tough. A gentle and humble nature requires the practice of harmony through the deepest conviction in the face of force and violence.

I taught fluid mechanics, physics, mathematics, international business, foreign affairs and creativity one time or the other in my career. I believe we all can learn by our self when we want to. For religion and philosophy the days of paid preacher is on the wane because of the spread of universal education. I am very thrilled that you share with me your insight and wisdom because I am enriched and grow by it. I am deeply appreciative of all who responded to me. Be proud you are citizens of the world and not citizens of one powerful nation.

MISSION FOR THE FIRST WORLD HARMONY CITY

MISSION FOR THE FIRST WORLD HARMONY CITY

For the past four centuries since the period of enlightenment and European Renaissance the West has moved ahead of the East in modern culture,science and technology. During this same period the glorious culture of the ancient East including the Middle East, Southern Asia and Eastern Asia lagged behind in human being’s first industrial revolution and the awakening energy thus created. For more than two centuries the flow of modern culture has been predominantly from the West to the East. The promise for world harmony must be built on the premise of unity in diversity. This necessitates balanced multi Cultural flow from East to the West as well.

The historical mission to restore this East to West cultural balance lies squarely on the shoulders of China as well as India, the two major rising developing economies of the East. The economic success of reform and opening up of China during the last three decades followed by the recent advance by India points to the trend that India and China will remain the locomotive for world economic growth for some time to come.

In our objectives we have defined the undertakings for the first World Harmony City in terms of both the hard and soft energy platforms. To this end in our outline proposal we have drawn up eight specific projects to achieve these objectives. For sustainable development China’s leaders have wisely called for the concept of scientific development since 2004. In terms of the necessary effort for human being to harmonize with nature, China may wish to play a lead role in the development of green energy, renewal energy and new energy to help reducing environmental pollution and improve our common ecology.

Historically East is a cradle for harmony philosophy and West is the fermenting ground for advocacy. Together East and West, especially America and China can pool their diverse cultural and scientific resources to pursue world harmony renaissance within the platform of World Harmony Institute and World Harmony Renaissance Center. Both WHI and WHRC are think tanks that can provide the driving force for harmony renaissance through dialogue, research and training. The collective innovative energy created by the harmony renaissance movement will surely lead human being to the second wave of accomplishment for the next millennium. Let us begin with World Harmony Renaissance in the 21st Century in the First World Harmony City in China.

CHINA'S GRAND STRATEGY IN CHINESE AND ENGLISH

从科学发展观到世界和谐复兴
作者:冯忠华博士 (Francis C. W. Fung, PH.D.)

2004年中国共产党提出以创新的科学发展观为建设国家的整体策略,突显了中国发展的主导政策有了可喜的变化。科学发展观是实现公正和公平社会均衡发展的系统理念。目标是建立一个慎重地、科学地规划的、包括节约能源和资源的生态人文社会。这种意识纳入中国文化的精髓,即中国人常说的“天人合一”,意即人与自然的和谐。目前正在召开的中共第17次全国代表大会,继续推进建设具有中国特色社会主义的势头。现任领导层形成共识的科学发展观,与具有中国特色的社会主义浑然一体。这种具有普世价值的发展观在中国成功之后,能成为其他发展中国家的示范吗?能。它成为世界当代和未来持续发展的替代办法无疑是适当的。

笔者作为科学家,早在本概念构建的2004年就对此产生浓厚的兴趣,深信科学发展观有其必要性和必然性。综观过去的30年,无论规模或速度,中国的发展都是惊人的,史无前例的。迄今为止,中国经济的跨越性发展已使其成为全球第四大经济体并快速赶超德国,跃居第三。唾弃西方国家19和20世纪对发展中国家残酷殖民剥削而取得“成功”的臭名昭著的公式,短期内消除了近三亿人口(相当于美国总人口)的赤贫。有什么比这更值得世人称道!

一个接近世界人口四分之一的大国何以能打破发展瓶颈,达到预期规模。中国能寄望于西方现成的解决办法吗?也许能,但归根结蒂,中国必须从自身文化遗产中找办法。2006年10月8日,中共16大六中全会就向全世界庄严宣布:“到2020年,构建社会主义和谐社会的目标和主要任务是:社会主义民主法制更加完善,依法治国基本方略得到全面落实,人民的权益得到切实尊重和保障;城乡、区域发展差距扩大的趋势逐步扭转,合理有序的收入分配格局基本形成,家庭财产普遍增加,人民过上更加富足的生活;社会就业比较充分,覆盖城乡居民的社会保障体系基本建立;基本公共服务体系更加完备,政府管理和服务水平有较大提高;全民族的思想道德素质、科学文化素质和健康素质明显提高,良好道德风尚、和谐人际关系进一步形成;全社会创造活力显著增强,创新型国家基本建成;社会管理体系更加完善,社会秩序良好;资源利用效率显著提高,生态环境明显好转……。”

和谐是普世共同价值,实质是中华传统文化。这是科学发展导致和谐社会的自然规律。中共17大再次清楚地表明了和谐精神。爱因斯坦说过:“大自然不是没有秩序,而是从不平衡到有序”。大自然的秩序是动态的平衡,这就是和谐。其本质是中国古代的智慧和哲理。和谐是中国对世界文化的贡献。和谐谴责暴力。它包含了人类宽容,接纳,尊重,平等,宽恕和谦卑的美德。和谐复兴,中国找到自己的根。任何国家,根之不存,则难以自立。

中国5000多年历史延绵不断,期间可能有过内乱,但和谐维持了连续性。中国人心里充满和谐,心态平和,有责任感。这就是为什么中国没有感受到需要自己创造一个宗教,却接受了全球所有其他主要宗教并将其本土化。在悠久的历史长河中,从未发生过重大宗教战争。中国科学发展达至社会和谐的宏伟目标,世界会跟进吗?也许中国自己开发的和谐所建立的社会主义社会适应世界,产生共振。和谐通过共振宣导,共同发展;共振是大自然和谐的首选方式。

中共第17次代表大会能否带领中国迈向和谐社会,全球都在期待。可以肯定的是,和谐的种子定将引领世界的和谐复兴。这是人类一直期待的超越欧洲文艺复兴时代的创新能量。和谐是人类的共同价值,复兴赋予它活力。
让和谐成为世界潮流!

从科学发展观的演变看中国的宏伟战略

作者:世界和谐组织总干事 冯忠华博士 (Francis C.W. Fung. PhD)

受西方科学与文明的影响,二百多年来,中国一直在寻找一个有自己特色而不背离传统的发展方向。这一探索始于中国饱受殖民统治屈辱的清朝末年,继而持续发展,历经外国侵略、奴役和国内动乱,直到二十世纪才告结束。期间多灾多难的历史不堪回首,却被文学作品翔实地记录下来。中华民族付出了极其昂贵的代价,才学到今天的惨痛教训,认识到必须象所有伟大的民族复苏一样,前赴后继,才有希望。人类文明是一个不可分割的整体,中国五千年文化和传统一旦消失,将是无法承受的遗憾。

由已故邓小平先生启动的改革开放政策,史无前例地让中国这么大的国家,以持续快速的经济发展迈入21世纪,给世人留下深刻的印象。此事发生在冷战时代结束后相对和平与稳定的30年。回顾冷战时代,中国人民对整个国家无端被封锁十分反感,心情可以理解。任何国家,只有与外界的平等交往和互动,才能进步。军事强权以炮舰政策牵制他国的发展,是不人道的。

看得出来,经济取得成功后,中国寻求的是可持续发展。过去五年中,中国展开一场主题为持续发展之路和社会主义现代化建设的大辩论。中国中央政府从辩论中推出两项可以打开可持续创新思维闸门的开创性概念。于2004年提出了科学发展观,并于2006年做出了“建设一个社会主义和谐社会”的决定。中国能以这个方法发展吗?还有哪些因素会在中国出现呢?中国必须学会的其他必要条件是什么呢?难道这就是我们常常听到的具有中国特色的社会主义的方向?中国是否已找到其独特的发展方向?不论发达国家还是发展中国家,找出上述答案都非常重要。它影响占全球几乎四分之一人口的命运,同时影响其他发展中国家的发展。能否因此形成一个所谓北京共识呢?更重要的是,中国能最终成为和谐共主吗?

中国古文化的本质是老子教导的“道”。追求和谐与谦卑,已经成为一个信仰体系,由孔子和其他圣贤世代相传下来。简言之,中国文化所奉的道,给了和谐很强的亲和力。这种亲和力反映并突显在中国人生活中的礼仪方式,景观欣赏,建筑设计,风水习俗、道德准则和价值观念。道是信仰的最高准则,是宇宙的起源。它是大自然的秩序,是科学精神和人文精神的统一。道是中华文化的灵魂和根基。作为一种文化,永远不能否认自己的传承。任何文化,根基一失,等于丧失灵魂。

修道的最终目标是达到心如止水,天人合一。追求的境界包括自然和谐,家庭和睦,乃至不同社会、不同国家和睦相处。和谐之路遥远,只有由道带领我们沿着信任,正义,公平,宽恕,宽容和谦卑之路走,才能到达广袤的和谐境界。人类发展至今产生了弱肉强食为主导的“生存侵略”,最恶劣的例子是以武力征服,殖民主义,暴力迫使他人接受自己的发展模式。中国是个非常和平的传统农业国,不同于以游牧为主的社会,历史上从未征服外国。由于过去二百年饱受帝国主义国家的统治和欺凌,今天中国人民仍对“生存侵略”其它弱小国家的恶行记忆犹新,深恶痛绝。这也是为什么今天中国会大力倡导和谐社会及世界和谐复兴的原因(见笔者【中国和谐复兴:世界须知】一文)。

今天,与自然和睦相处的潮流方兴未艾。自然和谐是世人的共识,也必将导致各国对和谐的认同。共同发展,双赢发展,定将逐步取代过去盲目的零和心态。世界的和谐复兴会释放出人类从被奴役下的破坏性生存对抗,到人类共同发展的建设性集体创新能量。人类历史上经历过两个主要发展阶段。大约二千年前,全球蔓延着自然的哲学思想即“爱”和“序”。500年多前的启蒙时期和欧洲文艺复兴,带来今天的民主与现代科学。和谐复兴是第三个发展阶段,将产生一个公平的竞争环境,所有国家都能共享人类创新的成果。集体创新的成就,将远远超过欧洲文艺复兴时代(见笔者【世界和谐复兴¾¾承诺一个更美好的世界】一文) 。

相较过去30年改革开放所实现的经济成就,中国今天面临的困境是发展的不平衡,新旧制度改变所造成的速度过快需要调整。长达五千多年的历史记录中,新中国的58年经历了前所未有的动荡。众所周知的事实是,这种动荡造成史无前例的快速转变,已经发生在今天的中国。人类历史上,尚无任何大国有过类似经验。受西方文化的压制,中国有时候似乎失去方向。

作为哲学,道与和谐具有普世价值,但中国的哲学不会成为发展的宏伟战略。其它国家也不需畏惧中国将所谓的北京共识出口到发展中国家。未来的世界正迅速成为一个多边的社会。正如我们亲眼目睹向宗教优越感索赔的企图带来文化冲突而导致世界冲突一样,美国在伊拉克执行其自家出口的民主制度的灾难性后果,世人一样同声谴责。宗教、民主、道与和谐等哲学,是教导我们心境平和地达到共同价值观必不可少的理论。他们是每个人为其文化遗产而努力的信仰。另方面,任何国家发展的宏伟战略,只能发自内部,而不能在外力胁迫下制定。在这个多边的世界,没有国家愿意接受别人的说教。

今天中国的宏伟发展战略,必须是2007年10月21日刚结束的中共17届全国代表大会上达成共识,得出结论,明智宣布的有中国特色的社会主义。据头条新闻,中国的宏伟战略目标,将演变成运用科学发展观,建立一个相对繁荣的公正和谐的社会。以和谐为目标的宏伟战略,结果会是一个切实可行的综合性主体计划工程系统,包括以下关键分析。下列提纲各部分尚未按其重要性固定顺序,发展过程必然会根据复杂且动态的社会而演变。大道的和谐精神,发现新知,必须保留旧识的完整。这就是笔者提出的结论以下:

1. 任何国家的发展,必须不断演变并和世界的发展相衔接。一旦外力强行介入,从此不得安宁。
2. 中国宏伟战略自2004年起演变成科学发展观。用中国共产党的话说,是有中国特色的社会主义制度。
3. 中国目前的发展应包括经济、政治、科学和社会等因素。
4. 继续维持目前改革开放的势头,为可持续经济发展做小幅调整。
5. 扩大科学发展观,将其纳入系统工程的导线。
6. 宜逐步推行并更多参与政治改革,以配合现代发展。
7. 颁布法律支持经济和政治改革,任何开发都必须与自然和谐,以保持绿色世界的生态平衡。
8. 社会主义初级阶段首先必须打下强大的经济基础。中国目前尚处在社会主义发展的初期阶段。
9. 马克思主义必须进化,与世界发展衔接。
10. 中国将永远反对霸权主义。促进多边合作,发展双赢。
11. 倡导以道及和谐复兴为国家的振兴理论。
12. 倡导和谐外交,使之成为治理世界的金科玉律。
13. 有中国特色的社会主义就是和谐社会主义。
14. 建立一个与传统价值观、现代人权与社会主义发展之间和谐的和谐社会。
15. 保持国家与不同形式的私有和市场经济之间的和谐。
16. 通过保护生态及人与自然共处的共识,促进世界和谐。即中国的说法“天人合一”。
17. 英文缺乏传统说法,恰当的描述或可称“共同建设一个绿色世界”。

CHINA'S GRAND STRATEGY EVOLVING WITH CONCEPT OF SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENTT

CHINA’S GRAND STRATEGY EVOLVING WITH CONCEPT OF SCEINTIFIC DEVELOPMENTBy Francis C. W. Fung, PH.D.www.worldharmonyorg.net

Under the impact of Western science and civilization, China for more than two hundred years was searching for a development direction of her own, which would not entail giving up her tradition and identity. The period of search began at the end of Qing dynasty, when China suffered humiliations one after the other under the reigning colonial powers of the time. This continuing process of development struggle lasted through foreign domination, invasions and domestic upheavals until the end of the twentieth century. China’s history of trial and tribulations during this time period is well documented in literature. From it, the Chinese nation collectively paid dearly and learned the hard lessons necessary to move forward like all great national revivals of the past. Human civilization as a whole cannot afford to neglect the over 5000 years of valuable Chinese culture and tradition. That will be most regrettable.

China is moving into the 21st Century with impressive economic development unprecedented in human history for such a large nation which began with the reform and open up policy initiated by the late Deng Xiaoping. It occurred during the last 30 years of relative peace and stability after the end of the cold war era. It is understandable that the nation of China as a whole looked back at the involuntary isolation of the cold war era with a great deal of misgiving. For all nations to progress with the world it must be given the level field to interact with the outside. For great powers to exercise its naval power to contain other nation’s development is inhumane.

Having achieved relative economic successes, China is now looking to sustainable development. Great debates are occurring in China especially during the last five years on its continuing path of development and modernization. From the debates, the Chinese Central government has launched two ground breaking concepts that can open the flood gate of innovative sustainable thinking. The 2004 Concept of Scientific development led eventually to the 2006 “Decisions for the building of a harmony society”. Can China develop according to this approach? What other factors must occur in China? What are the other necessary conditions for China to stay the course? Is this the direction for socialism building with Chinese characteristics of which we so often hear? Has China finally found its unique direction of development? It is important for both the developed and the developing countries to find out. It will affect the destiny of almost one quarter of world’s population and perhaps other developing countries’ development. Will this lead to the so called Beijing Consensus? More important, will it finally take hold in China and last?

The essence of ancient Chinese culture is reverence of the “Great Way” (Dao) as taught by Lao-tzu, and pursuit of Harmony with humility as a belief system handed down by Confucius and her other sages. Simply put, Chinese culture reveres the Great Way and has strong affinity for harmony. This affinity is reflected with prominence in the Chinese ceremonial way of life, landscaping, building design, Fengshui practices and moral codes and values. Dao is the highest order of belief and is the origin of the universe. It is nature’s order and is the unification of the scientific spirit and human spirit. It is the soul and roots of Chinese culture. A culture can never deny its own heritage. A culture which looses its own roots is devoid of its own soul.The ultimate goal of practicing Dao is to reach inner peace and live in harmony with the universe (Tien Ren He Yi). This includes harmony with nature, harmony within the family, the society, the country and harmony among nations. To reach broad harmony, Dao must lead us to harmony through trust, justice, equity, forgiveness, tolerance and humility.

Human development so far has been dominated by “Survival Aggression” with the strong overwhelming the weak, the worst examples were military conquests, colonialism and forcing one’s development model on others by force. China as a traditional agriculture, as opposed to a predominantly nomadic society, has been an exceptionally peaceful major nation that did not have a history of foreign conquest. Because of the last two hundred years of domination and humiliation by foreign imperialistic nations China today has a strong distaste to the practice of “Survival Aggression”. That is why China today is advocating harmony society and world harmony through harmony renaissance (see “China’s Harmony Renaissance- What the World Must Know” by the author).

Today the inevitable tide of harmony with nature is also beginning to catch on. The world consensus of harmony with nature will lead to the recognition of the need for harmony among nations also. Mutual development, win-win development will gradually replace the past blind zero sum mentality of world development. World harmony renaissance will release humans from the bondage of destructive- survival confrontations. It will release our collective creative energy for constructive mutual development. Human history has gone through two major phases of development. Approximately two thousand years ago, the world saw a burst of philosophical ideas spreading through the world for universal love and order. Five hundred years or so ago, the age of enlightenment and European Renaissance gave us democracy and today’s modern science. Harmony Renaissance is the third phase of development that will yield a level playing field for all nations to enjoy the fruits of common human innovation. Our collective accomplishments will far surpass the achievements of European Renaissance (see “World harmony Renaissance- Promise for a Better World” by the author).

Having achieved relative economic success during the last 30 years of reform and opening up the new China of today is faced with the dilemmas of uneven development, reconciliation of the old and new caused by breakneck speed of change. The new China of 58 years is going through unprecedented upheavals relative to its entire recorded history of over 5000 years. As a matter of fact the tumult caused by unprecedented rapid change experienced by China today, also has no parallel in human history of any major nation. At times, China overwhelmed by the impact of Western culture, appeared to be lost. As meritorious as the philosophies of DAO and harmony as universal common values, they will not become the grand strategy of development for China. There also needs to be no fear for the so called “Beijing Consensus” that will be exported to the developing world. The future world is fast becoming a multilateral world. Just as we witness how the world conflicts brought on by attempts to claim religious superiority led to cultural clashes, the disastrous aftermath of America’s enforcing of its own democratic system on Iraq is for all to see.

Religion, democracy, Dao and harmony philosophies are essential to teach us common values for our hearts to reach peace within ourselves. They are beliefs for each person to strive for according to his cultural heritage. On the other hand the grand strategy of development for any nation must develop from within and not to be forced from the outside. In a multilateral world no nation wishes to be preached at either.So for China, its grand strategy for development must be “socialism with Chinese characteristics” as wisely announced by the consensus conclusion reached by the 17 CPC National Congress that just ended October 21st, 2007. According to the headlines, China’s grand strategy will evolve from the concept of scientific development with the objective of building a relatively prosperous, just, and harmonious society for all. And the grand strategy incorporating the objective of harmony will be the result of a comprehensive master plan of executable engineering system analysis, comprising the following critical pieces.

The order of importance of each element in the following outline is not fixed, but will sure be subject to the dynamic evolvement of a complex and fluid society in its development. But the harmony spirit of the great Dao of discovering the new and old must remain intact as put forth by the author in the following summary:

ALL NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS MUST BE CONTINUALLY EVOLVING AND IN TOUCH WITH WORLD DEVELOPMENT. ONCE DISTURBED FORCIBLY BY OUTSIDE FORCE INSTABILITY WILL SET IN.

CHINESE GRAND STRATEGY IS EVOLVING FROM THE 2004 CONCEPT OF SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT.

IT IS, ACCORDING TO THE CPC, A SYSTEM OF CHINESE SOCIALISM WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS

CHINESE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT SHALL CONSISTS OF ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, SCIENTIFIC AND SOCIETAL ELEMENTS

CONTINUE THE CURRENT MOMENTUM OF REFORM AND OPENING UP,FINE TUNE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTEXPAND CONCEPT OF SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT INTO SYSTEM ENGINEERING GUIDE LINES

GRADUALLY INTRODUCE POLITICAL REFORM TO INTRODUCE MORE PARTICIPATION TO SUIT MODERN DEVELOPMENT

PROMULGATE LAWS TO SUPPORT ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL REFORMS. DEVELOPMENT MUST BE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

OCIALISM IN THE INITIAL STAGE MUST BUILD A STRONG ECONOMIC FOUNDATION. CHINA IS STILL AT THE EARLY STAGE OF SOCIALIST DEVELOPMENT

MARXISM MUST BE EVOLUTIONARY AND IN TOUCH WITH WORLD DEVELOPMENT
CHINA WILL BE FOREVER AGAINST HEGEMONY AND WILL PROMOTE MUTUAL AND WIN-WIN DEVELOPMENT

ADVOCATE DAO AND HARMONY RENAISSANCE AS NATIONAL REVIVALADVOCATE HARMONY DIPLOMACY AS THE GOLDEN RULE OF WORLD GOVERNANCE

SOCIALISM WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS IS SOCIALISM WITH HARMONYBUILD HARMONY SOCIETY WITH HARMONY BETWEEN TRADITIONAL VALUE, MODERN HUMAN RIGHTS AND SOCIALISTIC DEVELOPMENT

MAINTAIN HARMONY BETWEEN STATE AND DIFFERENT FORMS OF PRIVATE AND MARKET ECONOMY

PROMOTE WORLD HARMONY THROUGH ECOLOGY CONSENSUS AND UNITY OF MAN WITH NATURE. IN CHINA THE SAYING IS TIEN REN HE YI.

和谐信仰:世界和谐组织的信条
(草案)

和谐为普世价值,人类之福,生灵崇拜。和谐是自然的规律,宇宙的定律。和谐以动态平衡为自然消灾解难,恢复安宁。没有和谐,宇宙不会永恒。和谐超越一切文化和宗教,是人类真正的信仰。
生命的意义在于自我和谐。人类天生一种精神,自我求生、自我完善。我们的灵魂有个从动物的自私天性升华而来的良心。只有实现自我和谐,灵魂成长方为成熟。人由自己的灵魂相伴和协调,祥和地走完人生旅程。死后灵魂痛苦抑或和谐,差别如地狱与天堂。

浩瀚乾坤的无形能量创造了宇宙万物。这就是所有宗教和信仰公认的造物主。灵魂是人类与生俱来一种能量场。因被植入不同的DNA而优势各异,故人类生而未能平等,正如人的心灵肯定不会有同等发展的待遇。静态平等并非人生的全部。每个灵魂实现自身和谐,生命才有意义。自然加上主观实现和谐是一个动态过程。自然和生命的进化是动态过程,不能被视为静态现象。和谐复兴也是一个动态过程,俗称实践。

任何宗教,信徒与非信徒之间仅一线之隔。真正的缔造者接受众生,众生见证了和谐。文化在形式上有异而本质无别。和谐拯救人类,是多元统一之金。宇宙和众生皆由无形能量创造并持续进化。这一理论与传统宗教信仰缔造者的人造天堂形象并不矛盾,而是以一种理性方式同意现代科学。灵魂不过是一个能源场,附着人的精神及有生之年形成的信念和发展经验,有始无终,死后永存。灵魂能否完成自身和谐,端视修炼,无法划一。一切中医药、气功、太极、瑜珈、祷告和忏悔等思考和练习的形式,均强调通过和谐达到内心的平静。这些练习与所有宗教和信仰殊途同归。在地球上自我开发尚未成熟的灵魂是生命的目的,深具意义。心灵和谐,即为自救。

宗教始于找寻真、善、美,最终有助死后达成和谐。凡宗教概宣扬和谐,因和谐为普世价值、是人类最大的共识。宗教冲突盖因人的腐败。信仰和谐真理,并不需要造物主的偶像。无形能量作为宇宙的缔造者,与现代科学并不冲突。无形能源造物主形象与任何宗教信仰也不矛盾,没有分歧。没有偶像的造物主形象信仰,将调和所有的宗教与真正的科学信仰。根据现代科学理论,宇宙无形能量无比强大,无所不在。这是和谐信仰的重要范式。许多宗教以人类的兄弟情谊为信仰。和谐保持不同宗教之多元统一文化, 协调来自不同宗教的文化。

老子和孔子所创立的古代和谐文化哲学,并不依赖缔造者的人造偶像。作为一个古老的文化,中国没有独特地为自己创立一个汉家宗教,现代中国人更多接受境外宗教。有目共睹的是,中国尽管进口了许多境外宗教,却鲜有重大宗教战争。二千多年的和谐哲学,改造了中国的主体信仰和外来宗教,使其适合中国的文化遗产。中国古代的和谐理念,适合人们自我心灵调适之需。各种信仰体系通过和谐协调的过程,可以成为未来世界和谐的模式。

任何人都可通过修炼和谐达到心灵的安宁,而不需经由制度化宗教仪式。以浩瀚乾坤无形能量造物主为普遍信仰,调解所有宗教和信仰。因此,和谐信仰超越人类因恐惧和贪婪而导致的冲突,是最被众生接受的信仰。和谐向地球上所有圣人和先知承诺一个多元统一的最和平王国。一个人能成功达到自我和谐,其心灵是完整的,其灵魂是永恒的,永无痛苦。

我们相信,和谐复兴是以和谐追求生命之路和生活信仰。和谐是普世价值,复兴为行动。和谐的共振传播,是大自然繁殖的首选方式。对于地球上任何宗教或信条而言,和谐信仰是人类希望的天堂。和谐信仰作为自然规律,并不需崇拜缔造者的偶像。全人类不论是否属于有组织的宗教,只要通过和谐的自我反省,都能找到自救希望和兄弟情谊。

和谐复兴的追求包罗万象。我们的视角包括东西方文化、世界文明、历史、和谐外交、世界宗教、古代哲学与现代科学等。以科学监测和谐,使之成为真正的普世信仰。

我们相信自律式和谐信仰。我们的行动包括所有人类活动如世界事务、商务、教育、宗教或非宗教功能的文化活动。历史到了此刻,我们的行动应加强和平、减少冲突、协调世界宗教、激活和谐文化、追求和谐教育。联合国正处在一个交叉路口。现在是向联合国倡导和谐文明的时候,让所有193个国家都可畅所欲言,共商世界大同的共同价值。廿一世纪是和谐复兴的开启。世界的共同使命,是准备好人类第二个创新波的到来,带领我们进入下一个更高层次的共同修养。世界和谐将带领整个世界进入和平繁荣新千年的行动,不受约束的集体新能量,超过欧洲文艺复兴。

附录一、和谐能源平台


和谐能源硬体平台:研发可再生绿色能源和冷能源,以利于生态改善、绿色可再生能源转型和可持续发展。呼吁以新的生活方式、创新绿色能源、改进建筑材料、节约回收能源,取代化石燃料,限制污染环境。建立合适的绿色新能源和冷能源发明技术储库,在世界和谐复兴中心指导下,从事太阳能、风能、波浪能、潮汐能、氢能、燃料电池、超导、氦3聚变和其他尚未突破的能源研究,鼓励科学发明。集中发明所得成果将由联合国全部193个国家共同分享。

和谐能源软性平台:世界和谐复兴预示,和谐是全球共同价值。和谐是自然的规律、宇宙的定律。没有和谐就没有宇宙的永恒。因此,需要建立一个从事和谐理论研究的世界和谐研究所。此外,和谐研究所下设《世界和谐大学》,委任杰出人士担任和谐大使,培养合格的和谐志愿工作者,向全球传播和谐复兴,让和谐真正属于世界。人与自然和谐是人类的共识。和谐复兴是人类期待的第二波创新能量。和谐复兴是时代不可阻挡的潮流,人类集体创新的力量,将至少在下一个千年引领我们进入另一个层次的道德修养。人类未来的文明和科学程度,必然超过欧洲文艺复兴所开创的现代科学。历史将留下你辉煌和判断的标志。

附录二、中 国 的 使 命

在欧洲启蒙与文艺复兴时期的过往四百多年中,西方在现代文化和科技方面一直大幅领先东方。同一时期,有着灿烂文化的古老东方,包括中东、东亚和南亚,则在人类第一次工业革命及觉醒所创造的能量中落在后头。两百多年来,现代文化流通的方向绝大多数由西向东。然而,世界和谐必须建立在多元统一的基础上,这就使多元的、均衡的、由东向西的文化交流成为必然。
恢复东西方文化平衡的历史使命,自然而然地落到东方两个欣欣向荣的经济体¾¾中国和印度的肩上。过去30年中国改革开放在经济上的成功,及紧追的后起之秀印度,点出了经济成长的趋势,今后一段时间内,印度和中国仍将是世界经济增长的火车头。

我们已为第一个《世界和谐城》的软、硬能源平台确定了目标。为实现这些目标,我们在建议书纲要的结尾制定了8个具体项目。自2004年起,中国领导人明智地呼吁科学发展观,以促进可持续发展。人类有必要努力协调自然,中国可望在绿色能源,可再生能源和新能源的开发中发挥主导作用,以帮助减少环境污染,改善地球村的生态环境。

历史上,东方是和谐哲学的摇篮,西方是信息的扩散地。东西结合,特别是美中合作,能通过世界和谐研究所和世界和谐复兴中心的平台,凝聚更多追求世界和谐复兴所需的不同类型的文化与科学资源。世界和谐研究所和世界和谐复兴中心是个智库,能通过对话、研究和培训,为和谐复兴提供动力。和谐复兴运动所产生的集体创新能量,一定能带领人类在下一个千年实现另一波的辉煌。让我们以中国第一个《世界和谐城》为起点,开创廿一世纪的和谐世界!
