Description of Our Community: Out school is located in Yonghe district, New Taipei city. Yonghe is located in the south-east corner of Taipei Basin, and its boundary with Taipei City is marked by Xindien River. There are currently Zhongzheng Bridge, Fuhe Bridge, and Yongfu Bridge that connect the two cities, and they facilitate the prosperous growth of Yonghe district. There are many business districts and markets for residents of Yonghe to enjoy. Besides the Korean Street and Lehua Night Market, Yonghe residents can head to Yang San Lang Art Museum or Fuhe Holiday Flower Market for more artistic venues. Residents of Yonghe can enjoy the city’s relaxed atmosphere. The topic of our research is the Museum of World Religions in Yonghe district. The museum has been here for fifteen years. It is not only a place to educate the public, but also a precious tourist attraction for Yonghe. Yu-Tsai Life Expedition would like to take you on a tour to explore the Museum of World Religions. Let us examine religion with our hearts and experience the diversity that the world has to offer at the one and only Museum of World Religions.
Project Description: In 2001, Master Hsin Tao of the Lingjiou Mountain Wusheng Monastery founded the Museum of World Religions in the bustling city of Yonghe based on his principles of ‘Love is our shared truth’ and ‘Peace is our eternal hope.’ The museum does not represent any single religion. Instead, it holds an unbiased perspective on bringing major religions around the world to the people through visual and audio apparatuses. It hopes to educate the public on religion, so people will get to know the diverse world of religions, rituals, and ways of life. The museum hopes to raise awareness on the subject of life education, and, in turn, promoting respect, forgiveness, peace, and love among different religious groups. For this research, we decided to proceed as a team. We hope to conduct interviews, fieldtrips, research studies, and experience sharing activities to get to know the Museum of World Religions better. We want to explore the diversity in religions, cultures, and the meaning of life in order to foster a sense of respect and tolerance for different cultures. We hope each member of Yu-Tsai Life Expedition can become seeds that will grow through dedicated researching, learning, and experiencing and share the MWR’s dedication to religion, culture, and life education with our school, our community, and the entire world.
