| Abstract | The purpose of religion should be creating friendship, harmony, peace, and well-being for people in this world. However, some religious followers have strong biases against other religions. Those biases have generated hatred, conflicts and disasters for people on Planet Earth.
In Taiwan, Catholic sisters have very good relationships with Buddhist nuns. They respect each other, learn from each other, and cooperate with each other on certain activities. For example, the Buddhist organization that I belong to, Dharma Drum Mountain, and myself have a great deal of contact with Catholic sisters. I know there are other nunneries, such as Bau-an Temple, that have good relationships with Catholic nuns, too. Bhiksuni Chao-hwei cooperates with Catholic sisters on conferences and social movements as well. There are touching stories about the friendships of women practitioners from diverse faiths in Taiwan.
It is worthwhile to share our stories with people abroad. We hope that someday all religious followers will embrace the believers of other faiths as friends. Perhaps Buddhist women can take the leadership in this initiative, so that eventually people around the world can cooperate with sincerity and honesty to build a Pure Land on Earth – heaven here and now.
宗教的目的應該是為人民創造友善、和諧、安祥和康樂的世界，然而某些宗教的信徒對其他宗教都充滿強烈的偏見。這些偏見給活在地球上的人們帶來了許多仇恨、衝突和災難。
在台灣，天主教的修女和佛教比丘尼的感情非常融洽。她們尊重彼此，向彼此學習，在某些活動中也合作無間。比方說，我隸屬的佛教團體──法鼓山，我個人跟天主教修女們的接觸相當頻繁。我知道寶安寺的尼眾跟天主教的修女們感情也很好。昭慧法師也不時跟天主教的修女們合辦會議，倡導社會運動，同時，不同宗教信仰的女修行者在台灣也發生了許多感人的事蹟。
這些事情都很值得跟國外的人士分享。我們希望有朝一日，所有宗教的信徒都能成為朋友，也許女性佛教徒能帶起這樣的風氣，將來全世界的人都能真心誠意地共同建立一個人間淨土──這樣一來，天堂就在此時此地。 |
