A mage's speech on wealth surprised the global political and business giants.
Lead: On July 4th, 20 15, global political celebrities and business giants gathered in Hangzhou to discuss new global wealth. In the crowd, Christina, a quiet and steady pure mage, is particularly eye-catching. As a special guest of this Global New Wealth Forum, Master Chunyi was invited to give an in-depth speech on "Buddhism and New Wealth". His profound and original insights and unscrupulous speeches surprised everyone and won warm applause from the scene.
In Hangzhou in summer, heat is a normal state; In this hot season, the 20 15 Global New Fortune Hangzhou Forum (President Summit) arrived as scheduled on July 4th, and the forum was held in Sheraton Xixi Hotel, Hangzhou. Former German President wulff, former French Prime Minister raffarin, former South Korean Prime Minister Li Shoucheng, former First Vice President Terry of Peru, former Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, President of the Global Small and Medium Enterprises Alliance, former Argentine Prime Minister, presidential favorite Carlos, former China Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and other guests around the "new normal, new opportunities; He gave a speech and discussion on the theme of "new model, new dream".

Li Zhaoxing, former Foreign Minister of China, gave a keynote speech on "Analysis of the World Economic Situation". Among the guests present, a kind and solemn mage dressed in yellow Christina is particularly eye-catching. He is Chun Yi, vice president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference, deputy director of the Ethnic and Religious Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference and president of the Jiangxi Buddhist Association. His keynote speech was "Heart Wealth and New Wealth". In addition, Liu Qing, President of Didi Company, Peng Jiaming, Chairman of Yunchuang Holding Group and other SME representatives were arranged to give speeches on SMEs and sustainable development.
Peace and development are the mainstream of the times. Under the background of financial globalization and economic integration, the international economy presents a new situation in which cooperation and competition, monopoly and pluralism coexist. The new normal, new technology, new model and new dream have become the new thread of the new economy. China has entered a new era: the economy has changed from high-speed growth to medium-high-speed growth; All walks of life have entered the era of "Internet"; China initiated the establishment of "AIIB" and began to implement the grand plan of "Belt and Road"; The state calls for "mass entrepreneurship and innovation"; The country also launched the "Made in China 2025" plan. In the new historical period, how to realize the transformation and upgrading of traditional small and medium-sized enterprises in China has become a major issue.
This requires entrepreneurs to keep pace with the times, strengthen their own construction, enhance their wisdom, adjust their mentality, meet new opportunities and realize new dreams. But no matter how amazing the speed of economic development is, the pursuit of spiritual world, as a kind of spiritual wealth, has never disappeared from most people's hearts. On the contrary, in today's society where rapid development and pressure coexist, how to persist in faith, how to balance morality, and how to control and reflect on the inner world are the same topics that everyone has to face.
The event was hosted by Global SME Alliance and Zhejiang SME Association, with Global Times as the media organizer, Zhejiang Xichuan Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Yunchuang Automobile Service Co., Ltd. as co-organizers, and Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce, Shandong Chamber of Commerce, Hunan Chamber of Commerce, Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, Chongqing Chamber of Commerce, Liaoning Chamber of Commerce and Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce as co-organizers. Specially invited units include Shi Jing, Zhejiang, and the US-China Association for the Promotion of International Cooperation and Exchanges. The main media supported are Xinhua News Agency, CCTV- Discovery Journey "Time Influence", People's Daily, Zhejiang Voice, Zhejiang TV Station and dozens of other units. The holding of this forum is a "timely rain", which coincides with the dew after a long drought in the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in China. The political leaders, business leaders, academic leaders and even religious leaders attending the meeting cleared the fog and pointed out the maze for the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises in China.
At the conference, eight China entrepreneurs took the stage to talk with former German President wulff and former French Prime Minister raffarin. Former foreign leaders and Chinese-foreign dialogue entrepreneurs discuss China's economic hotspots, difficulties and doubts, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by the global development of small and medium-sized enterprises from a brand-new and three-dimensional international perspective. The zero-distance dialogue between international leaders and entrepreneurs who integrate the wisdom of the East and the West has become a "brainstorming" to stimulate new thinking and business inspiration.
A monk gave a keynote speech on "Heart Wealth and New Wealth"
At the kind invitation of the organizer, Master Junichi went to new york to attend the 70th anniversary celebration of the United Nations Headquarters, and then rushed to Hangzhou to attend this high-end international new wealth forum. He calmly walked onto the stage, folded his hands and praised the extraordinary karma of gathering political and business people at home and abroad. The so-called "there is a reason to gather in the world, and there is a reason to gather in the world." I hope everyone will cherish this rare karma and opportunity. He gave a keynote speech on "New Wealth of Buddhism" at the Buddhist "Xiufu Forum" specially set up in this forum, which opened up the Buddhist concept of "New Wealth of Mind" for the participants. This paper focuses on the analysis of the importance, necessity and persistence of the practice of "Fu Bao in the sky" and spiritual wealth in the new wealth era, and systematically, rationally and vividly reveals the Buddhist concept of wealth.
Master Chun Yi pointed out: With the reform of economic policy in China, the rapid economic development has brought great material wealth, and at the same time, social commercialization is also colorful. However, with the unilateral pursuit of commercialization, the serious imbalance of ethics has been accelerated, and even the bottom line of some people's ethics has deteriorated. The selfish spirit centered on the individual is spreading like a ghost, and the personality ideal and core value orientation of China's traditional thought are undergoing worrying changes, which seriously violates the constraints of impermanence and causality on people's body and mind. Fortunately, the country has put forward three levels of 24-character socialist core values, hoping to correct and improve this phenomenon. In this regard, Master Chunyi mainly discussed and revealed the causal relationship between practice and blessing from the perspective of Buddhism.
Regarding the classification and choice of wealth, he said: The so-called wealth can be divided into secular wealth and secular wealth. Generally speaking, wealth in the world can also be divided into two categories: material wealth and spiritual wealth. To be born in the world is to take the undifferentiated wisdom of Prajna as the fundamental wealth, to realize the truth of the universe and the complete liberation of life as the ultimate wealth, and to enjoy oneself often is its four virtues (nirvana); Material wealth in the world can be divided into fixed assets such as gold and real estate and current assets. Current assets include currency, securities, etc. In fact, the so-called fixed assets in the world are also impermanent. Even if it is owned, it is only relatively stable ("living"), the equipment will wear out and the house will depreciate. Moreover, the uncertainty of the market also makes the increase and decrease, fluctuation and ups and downs of wealth elusive and even incredible. Buddhism warns us that we can't take these treasures with us when we are alive, and we can't take them away when we die. Only you can carry it. If there is anything that can be called a fixed asset of life, it is spiritual wealth, which can be shared but not deprived; On the other hand, material wealth is easily lost. Among the spiritual wealth, only the merit method mentioned by Buddhism is superior. Although it is intangible, it will not die with the end of our first life and will not lose its value with the cycle of life style. Although observing from the ultimate value of Buddhism, there are still some seeds missing, which are not the ultimate virtue. On this point, we can get a glimpse from the conversation between the Dharma patriarch and Liang Wudi. But in a promising way, these good species will not be lost, and they will still circulate on the road of life, bringing us rich feedback.
The one-hour and forty-five-minute revelation of Master Chunyi is divided into two parts: one is "spiritual wealth" and the other is "new wealth".
Master Chunyi attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Adi Gorge Master Memorial Hall and stupa in Bangladesh and won the "Adi Gorge Master World Peace Gold Award".
2065438+From May 22 to 26, 2003, at the invitation of Elder Sutanando, Vice-Chairman of the World Buddhist Association, Chairman of the Bangladesh Buddhist Revival Association and Master of Bengali Buddhist Sangha, an eight-member China Buddhist delegation headed by Master Chunyi, Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association and Wang Jianwei, Secretary General of the Chinese Buddhist Association, paid a friendly visit to Bangladesh. It was warmly welcomed and received by the Bangladeshi government and the Buddhist Renaissance Association, and successfully held a series of fruitful and constructive activities, which greatly enhanced the friendship between the Buddhist circles of the two countries and the two peoples. The accompanying delegation also included Mr. Zhou Jianjun, a meritorious figure in the aid project of Adixia Memorial Hall.
On the morning of May 23rd 10, a delegation of Buddhists from China attended the opening ceremony of the Buddhist Vesak Festival in Dhaka. Invite the person in charge of Chunyi to give a congratulatory speech and open it for the believers. Mr Dilip Barooah, Minister of Industry, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Ambassadors from Sri Lanka, Nepal and other countries in Bangladesh attended the meeting to congratulate.
At 6: 00pm, the whole delegation attended the awarding ceremony of "Master Adixia's World Peace Gold Award" in Fawang Temple and watched a Buddhist song and dance evening specially held for the Buddhist delegation in China. Inaam Hawke Mustafa Shahid, Minister of Social Welfare and Member of Parliament, attended the meeting to congratulate and deliver a speech. Ambassadors from Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan were invited to attend the meeting.
At 6:5438+00:30 am on May 24th, accompanied by Ambassador Li Jun and Liang Bin, Cultural Counselor of China Embassy in Bangladesh, the delegation arrived in Bajrajogini, Bagala, the hometown of Master MUNSHIGONJ Adi Gorge, a suburb of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, to attend the celebration meeting of "Master Adi Gorge Memorial Hall and Foundation of Pagoda". Elder Dharmapa, a Bangladeshi monk, elder Sutananda, a great mentor, other Buddhist elders, Dr. Hasan Mahmud, Minister of Environment and Forests, Dilip Baroa, Minister of Industry, and M. Idris Ali, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Parliament, attended the meeting and made speeches.
In his speech, Head Chunyi reviewed the long Buddhist history of China and Bangladesh and the friendship between the two peoples, especially referring to 1 1 mid-century (1042), an ancient monk and respected Adi Gorge in Bangladesh, which pushed this friendship to a climax. Regardless of his advanced age, the venerable Adixia old man crossed the Himalayas in 1969 and went to China and Tibet to promote Buddhism, translate Buddhist scriptures and spread medicine, which laid the foundation for the double cultivation and strict practice of Tibetan Buddhism in the later period, and made positive and significant contributions to the revival and development of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet, especially the formation of Master Zong Kaba's thought and Gelug Sect's teaching method three hundred years later. He pointed out: "The venerable Adi Gorge is not only the pioneer of the friendship between the Buddhist circles of the two countries, but also the messenger and symbol of the friendship between the two peoples. He is not only a Buddhist, but also an educator, translator, philanthropist, diplomat and even a Buddhist leader. He was an epoch-making master of China and Tibet in the late Hong Dynasty and a great founder of reviving Tibetan Buddhism. His spirit can shine on the sun and the moon, and his achievements will never be erased. His achievements will go down in history forever and will always inspire the Buddhist circles and people of China and Bangladesh to inherit and carry forward and write a new chapter. " He also reviewed the historical reasons and significance of building the Adi Gorge Master Memorial Hall and stupa. Under the personal care of Premier Zhou Enlai, in 1978, a Bangladeshi Buddhist delegation led by Elder Visutanando came to China to welcome the spiritual bones of the Venerable Department of Adi Canyon back to China for worship. Zhao Puchu, then president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, personally escorted the venerable Adi Gorge body back to Dhaka, which was welcomed by Dhaka citizens. At the same time, he also thanked the State Bureau of Religious Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh for their strong support, and thanked China entrepreneurs Zhou Jianjun and Yu Weidong for their generous support. He said: "The groundbreaking ceremony, the groundbreaking ceremony and the unveiling ceremony of the Adixia Master Memorial Hall and the stupa were held to make the Buddhist circles and people of the two countries remember the great achievements of Adixia Master forever, follow in his footsteps, and carry forward the friendship between the Buddhist circles of the two countries, which will last forever! It also marks that the Buddhist friendship between China and Bangladesh has reached a new level. "
Ambassador Li Jun spoke highly of the Chinese Buddhist Association's strong support for the Buddhist cause in Bangladesh and its full support for the Adi Gorge Memorial Project. He hoped that China would continue to support Bangladesh and help it realize its dream on the road of development. He also spoke highly of the important position and immortal achievements of the venerable Adi Gorge in the history of Buddhist exchanges and folk cultural exchanges between China and Bangladesh, and looked forward to further strengthening the exchanges between Buddhist circles in China and Bangladesh and deepening the folk cultural exchanges between the two countries.
In their speeches, Bangladeshi political figures, the eminent monk of the legal profession, the Dharma King, and the great mentor Sutananda repeatedly expressed their deep gratitude to the Buddhist community in China for building the Adi Gorge Venerable Memorial Hall and stupa, and hoped to take this opportunity to further strengthen exchanges and work together! In particular, the great mentor, President Soutananto, expressed his feelings many times in his speech. He said excitedly: He began to build the Adi Gorge Memorial Hall more than 40 years ago. Nearly half a century ago, with the help of the Buddhist community in China, he finally realized his 50-year dream in his lifetime!
In addition, the Buddhist delegation from China, accompanied by Master Wang and Master Sutanando, visited the newly discovered Millennium Temple of Bajirojokin, which is less than 3km away from the birthplace of Master Adi Gorge. It is reported that the venerable Adi Gorge has lived in this temple for seven years.
On 20 12, 1 1, Master Chun Yi, Vice President of Chinese Buddhist Association, led our delegation to Bangladesh to attend the "International Peace Conference and Monk Sacrifice Conference". Accompanied by H.E. Ambassador Li Jun of the Embassy of China in Bangladesh and the leaders of Bangladesh Buddhist Renaissance Association, he visited and inspected the preparation site of the memorial hall.
In order to consolidate and deepen the Buddhist friendship between China and Bangladesh and promote the in-depth development of Buddhist exchanges between the Chinese Buddhist Association and South Asian countries, Junixi, vice president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, donated 400,000 US dollars on behalf of the Chinese Buddhist Association to the Bangladesh Buddhist Renaissance Association on the morning of 201214 in Guangji Temple, where the Chinese Buddhist Association is located, for the construction of the "Adixia Master Memorial Hall and Pagoda".
1963, elder Visutanando, then president of the Bangladesh Buddhist Renaissance Association, and Sutan Tarnum Dobichu (now the great mentor of the Buddhist group) were invited to visit China for the first time to attend the "Asian Buddhist Peace Conference" held in Beijing. During their stay in Beijing, the delegation was cordially received by the Premier, and talked with Premier Zhou about the Adige River master who made important historical contributions to the friendship between the two countries. After the death of Master Adixia in Tibet, China, his spiritual bones were enshrined in Donna Temple in Tibet. Therefore, Mongolia offered to welcome some of Master Adixia's spiritual bones back to the Fawang Temple in Dhaka, Bangladesh. At that time, Premier Zhou readily agreed, and entrusted Zhao Puchu, then Secretary General of the Chinese Buddhist Association, with the implementation. With the joint efforts of the two governments and the Buddhist community, in June 1978, a Bangladeshi Buddhist delegation headed by Elder Visutanando came to China to welcome the spirit of Master Adixia. The Chinese Buddhist Association held a grand farewell and welcome ceremony at Guangji Temple in Beijing, and the Buddhist community in Bangladesh held a grand worship ceremony at Fawang Temple in Dhaka.
To commemorate the1000th anniversary of the birth of Master Adi Gorge, Bangladeshi Buddhist Renaissance Association held the "International Seminar of Master Adi Gorge" in Dhaka in 1983, and President Zhao Puchu was invited to attend and make a keynote speech. Later, the Bangladesh Buddhist Renaissance Association purchased a piece of land in Master Adixia's hometown to build a tower memorial hall, a library, a Buddhist temple and guest rooms. Due to the economic difficulties in Bangladesh and the weak strength of the Buddhist community, the construction plan of Master Adixia Memorial Hall has been difficult to achieve for many years. In recent years, Elder Su Tarnum Sa, regardless of his advanced age, has traveled in many ways and repeatedly expressed the wishes of the Buddhist community in Bangladesh to the Embassy of China in Bangladesh and the Chinese Buddhist Association. Finally, a preliminary intention was reached during Vice President Junichi's visit to Bangladesh last year. Vice President Chunyi also increased his ambition to build a stupa on the basis of the memorial hall proposed by Bangladesh. After many years, with the care and support of the Chinese and Bangladeshi governments, and with the unremitting efforts of eminent monks, great virtues and social sages, a great wish of Buddhists in the two countries was finally realized in 20 13. This is undoubtedly a great cause reflecting the friendship between China and Bangladesh.
The Bangladeshi government attaches great importance to the official groundbreaking of the Adi Canyon Memorial Hall and the stupa. H.E. Dilip Paruwa, Minister of Industry of Bangladesh Cabinet, H.E. Hassan Mahmoud, Minister of Environment and Forestry, Chairman of the Standing Committee on National Defense Affairs of Bangladesh Parliament and local dignitaries attended the ceremony. His Excellency Li Jun, Ambassador of China to Bangladesh, Ambassador of Bhutan to Bangladesh, Ambassador of Nepal to Bangladesh, Minister of Sri Lankan Embassy in Bangladesh and other diplomatic envoys attended and witnessed this historic event.
To thank the extraordinary achievements made by the Buddhist community in China, the Bangladesh Buddhist Renaissance Association urged H.E. Ainamur Hou Kai Shahid, Minister of Social Welfare, to award the "Master Adixia World Peace Gold Award" to Junihi, Vice President of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and Wang Jian, Secretary General. Present at the ceremony were Bangladesh's Ambassador to China, Monk Dammasen, Italian Special Envoy for the Newly Established Living Buddha, Grand Lama Gesitong Sang Kun, Minister of Myanmar's Embassy in Bangladesh, Minister of Bhutan's Embassy in Bangladesh, Minister of Sri Lanka's Embassy in Bangladesh, Minister of Nepal's Embassy in Bangladesh and nearly 10,000 Bangladeshi believers.
After the award ceremony, the head of Chunyi delivered an impromptu acceptance speech. He said that this time, Secretary-General Wang Jian and I won this honor, which is not only a personal honor, but also an honor of the Chinese Buddhist Association and even the country. This is a symbol of Buddhist friendship between China and Bangladesh and a continuation and development of friendly exchanges between eminent monks of the two countries. Our friendship has a beginning and no end. I pray that the Buddhist friendship between the two countries will last forever under the mercy of Buddha!
