Chan Magazine Autumn 2004
"Our world is evolving from regionalism into globalism; we have transformed our closed ethnic societies into societies characterized by multi-cultural diversity; we are moving away from nationalistic concerns toward concerns for the shared security and well-being of the entire human race... Therefore, in the twenty-first century, people who continue to engage in stirring up interracial hatred, in inciting adversity between religions, in establishing all kinds of barriers, in viewing people of different cultures and ethnicities as enemies, will in consequence isolate themselves from the entire human race."
— Ven. Master Sheng Yen, from his opening address to the World Youth Peace Summit, Taipei Conference, July 11, 2004
