After a separation of 12 years, I arrived in the international metropolis Shanghai, which is full of harmony, and met the students and followers I have not seen for long time. I was so extremely pleased to hear the authorities praise them as “outstanding citizens”.

The harmony between the humans and the nature has been the pursuit of Huazang since it is founded, which is also the theme of this world Expo. The basis of harmony is the accomplishment of balance between body and mental of every individual, sharing the quality of things and people around us. The cognate compassion between you and everything else will be achieved during the process of awaking yourself and influencing others. Every Huazang followers must keep this in mind and practice it with both foot on the ground, becoming role models to society and bestowing their merit on society and of the world.

Looking at the brilliant night scene along both banks of Huangpu River, I think the wisdom enlightens the city and every life in the city. The wisdom build up the style and content of the city.

The opening of the World Expo is soon. I pray for the prosperity of my country. I am enjoying my freedom. I hope this is the beginning of a new chapter of world harmony.

I think I will not miss this grand occasion!

Bless for China! Bless Shanghai! Bless the World Expo!

 

五月一日，我走入了世博园，多元化与现代科技成果在这里荟萃，展示出人与人之间期望和谐共融、共同创造美好生活的追求！

但是上海之行，几段“小插曲”也几乎让我与世博盛会擦肩而过。落地上海，一出机舱，迎接我的就是上海警方人员。第二天，又来了家乡的警察警员，迫使我不得不应对他们对我平添的担心与疑虑。我先后六次安排我的学生与他们交涉，仍未打消此疑虑。在此情况下，由于他们认为我拒绝与他们见面，于是过分之举发生了。4月30日凌晨2时许，六名上海警员以我们办理入住登记手续不全的名义进入我的房间，以六次“文请”遭我拒绝为由，因此按捺不住地用这种方式达到与我会面的目的。

虽然最终在各地警方和我们的共同努力下，达成了相互妥协，但仍是给我的世博之行留下了深深的遗憾！

今天，和谐社会的目标已成为中国政府的坚定选择，同时也是绝大部分中华儿女的共识。然而由于种种原因，我们的和谐社会建设似乎还只是一种形象工程。在社会的各种矛盾分歧没有充分化解、社会普遍存在信任缺失的状态下，和谐社会往往只能是一个口号。真正的和谐，是需要建立在社会各方的彼此尊重、真正沟通和彼此权利充分保障的基础上。中华民族的伟大复兴，需要的是一个真正有内涵的和谐社会！
