Lotus
Sutra Exhibition Held in Hong Kong
 From
November 25-30, 2006, “The Lotus Sutra–A Message of Peace and
Harmonious Coexistence” exhibition was held at SGI-Hong Kong Cultural
and Recreational Centre. Approximately 300 guests attended the opening
ceremony held on November 25.
Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor So
Kee Long felt that the spirit of the Lotus Sutra exhibition accords
completely with the founding principles of CUHK in uniting the
traditional and the contemporary, and integrating China and the West.
Jao Tsung-I, professor Emeritus of CUHK and one of China’s preeminent
scholars and the Institute of Oriental Philosophy (IOP) founder Daisaku
Ikeda sent
messages. Professor Jao remarked on the rich literary
merit of the Buddhist scriptures and observed that the Lotus Sutra
manuscripts are the results of dedicated and painstaking efforts of
countless unsung heroes.
The exhibition displays photographic panels of the renowned Dunhuang
Murals, magnificent wall paintings of Buddhist stories discovered in
the
grattoes of Dunhuang, a town along the Silk Road with a major
thoroughfare leading into China’s capital.
