Master Jun Hong Lu, World Renowned Chinese Spiritual Leader (The spiritual leader of Chinese Buddhists), receives the ICD Award for Execptional Contribution and Peace Advocacy to the Global Community.He has been spoken efter the ICD Award :``I am very pleased that ICD invited me to be part of this great conference this year. I also thank the support from everyone here. Thank ICD for presenting me with such a great honour. I feel very privileged. This award will certainly inspire me to work harder, and do everything I can to promote intercultural exchange and world peace. In the meantime, I hope that, through this event, more people can understand the concepts of Buddhism better and welcome them with open arms, so that we can be closer to the dream of a more peaceful world. The right way of thinking and true wisdom, are the fundamentals for our correct understanding of this world. They are also the fundamentals for providing fitting solutions to the problems we face today. However, the deviation from the correct way of thinking, and our lack of wisdom, result in our incorrect understanding of the world we live in today. Because of this, we fail to deal with the problems we face in the world with intelligence and wisdom. That is why we find these long-lasting conflicts between people, and between nations and there does not seem to be functional solutions to them. Moreover, in our modern society, failing to see through the true nature of things has resulted in harm to ourselves. Therefore, all kinds of mental disorders arise and they become a real problem in many parts of this world. he development of many problems depends on, to a great extent, how we view and understand them. Since we do not understand these issues fully, we actually contribute to the complex development of these problems. In other words, if our limited understanding of a certain issue accounts for more than 50% of the way we see it in our minds, the solution we provide to the issue can only be limited, or incomprehensive. Hence, all kinds of conflicts can take place. Therefore, making our minds pure, and transforming the way we see things, can help us become more open-minded, and more selfless. We will be able to let go of our ego, and regard all people with compassion. If we can put the concepts of Buddhism into practice, then I believe, this world will certainly be filled with love and peace. I will do everything I can, to promote the unity of all kinds of faiths in the world with the concepts of Buddhism, and to promote intercultural exchange. In the meantime, I hope that, together, we can make this world a more peaceful place. `` 2. Interview Master Jun hong Lu At a.m. of Nov. 19, I interviewed Jun hong Lu in Berlin I asked, “Master Lu, do you have any plan for promoting world peace?” The director replied that: everyone desires peace, to do more contribution to the world peace is what each Buddhism learner shall do; actually, Buddhism is earning-less, and to learn Buddhism shall be to insist on compassion and use the compassion to forgive and settle wars and domestic and social conflicts. The prize I won will also encourage me to do more contribution to the world peace in future. We all live in the global village and I hope everyone can do more contribution to the globe to get rid of hardship, natural disasters and even the man-made calamity. Peace is a good medicine which makes a person feel peaceful, so people in the world love peace; to let the people in the world to understand the compassion spiritual concept of the Buddhism can make the world to be more peaceful. I am very exciting and cherish the existence of the peace much more. Toda’s peace is actually created by thousands of people who have being contributed like the Director. We cannot enjoy the peace without the contribution of our predecessors; it is just like the South Africas revolutionist, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, who has won more than one hundred prizes in forty years, including the Nobel Peace Prize won in 1993. Mandela who had taken the post of the president for six years and had been executed for 27 years was the first South Africa’s president elected by people and is respected by people all over the world. He devoted himself to the abolishment of the racial segregation system and the realization of the racial reconciliation and reduced poverty and unfairness. He led the South Africa’s people for the racial reconciliation during the transitional period of promoting multi-racial democracy after he was discharged from prison. Since the racial segregation system was ended, Mandela was appraised even by the opponents in past. We only need peace rather than war, so it encourages me to do more contribution for the world peace. In fact, the Buddhism considers that both a family and a country need a peaceful mind. We need to get rid of war rather than letting the war kill the human if we need a peaceful world. We shall remove the war and the annoyance in the mans world by using the concept of peace. I hope the world to be in peace forever so as to protect our children and future generations and let them enjoy the happiness of peace. In the aspect of education, we shall let our children know how important the peace is for us since they are young. To carry forward the Chinese traditional essential culture, we shall know the culture and shall take the compassion of person to fuse the enmity in the world. Master Lu said again, ‘At present, I am the alliance member of the international congress, the United Nations has a new constitutional law which has not been issued, and we shall promote the world peace better by using cultural peace. I hope people in future can bette4r accept the peace concept of religion. A person shall live in a peaceful society and shall have a right of owning the life in the peaceful society. In current world, the United Nations is enabled to promote the humanistic society and the cultural peace to the world, and generalize the international morality and ethics. I am invited to participate a cultural peace meeting held by the United Nations in New York and make a speech in the meeting. The Kill of Morocco also invites me to hold a meeting. Meanwhile, I am invited by some countries to make speech in their countries. I will promote this proposal to let more countries in the world to implement the cultural peace.’ Thank ICD for presenting me with such a great honour. I feel very privileged. This award will certainly inspire me to work harder, and do everything I can to promote intercultural exchange and world peace. In the meantime, I hope that, through this event, more people can understand the concepts of Buddhism better and welcome them with open arms, so that we can be closer to the dream of a more peaceful world.

I asked, “Mr. Simon Crean, you and the MasterJun hong Lu are from Austria, how do you evaluate the case that the Master Jun hong Lu was awarded the Global Community Special Contribution Peace Prize?” Mr. Simon Crean said to me, ‘Actually speaking, I am very respectful to Master Lu.

On the evening of 19th, Hrant Bagratyan, the former Prime Minister of Armenia and I sit at the same table in the dinner party and we talked about the case that Lu Junhong was awarded ‘Global Community Special Contribution Peace Prize’.

Held introduction meeting to answer Buddhists’ problems On the evening of Nov. 17, a Buddhism Introduction Meeting was held in the ICD Meeting Hall of Berlin, the Master Jun hong Lu explained the life, showed the Buddhists at present how to get onto the right path, broadcasted the Chinese culture, promoted the soul health and blessed the world peace in the meeting. The Master Jun hong Lu made a wonderful speech. He told us, ‘everyone has accumulated ignorant habits and evil creatures which are high as a mountain and deep as a sea since he was born, so that today’s padipata is always blocked by the ignorant habits and the interfered by the desire. The Master’s edification told us the origin of the ignorant habits, introduced us how to overcome the desire, remove the ignorance and improve the padipata realm by using the willingness and abstaining. The master said that the humane beings have inherent ignorant habits of aversion delusion. If one habit of one person is beyond a normal person, it indicates his habit is related to his performance of his previous life, and he needs to recompense in this life. If the ignorant habit cannot be removed by the virtue of the padipata, he will make mistakes in this life to apply nutrition to the seed of the habit and results a bigger bad result to make him degenerate. On the contrast, if the aversion delusion is removed through the postnatal padipata, no condition will be brought to the ignorance and the deep-rooted bad habits cannot be survived. The desire is an unbounded sea, and is also the origin of annoyance and pain of the life. We study the Buddhism is to understand the significance of the life.’ Doctor Dong hui Chen the new Danish Buddhist made a speech in the Buddhism Meeting. He introduced his chanting condition, ‘I studied Western medicine doctor in England, I studied Chinese medicine doctor in America in 2000, and I obtained the American doctorate in 2004. I predict human’s health by using the date of birth and the eight characters of a horoscope and can predict very well in Denmark. So far, I have let 98 infertile women to be pregnant again. I suffered from diabetes in 2003, I was badly ill and only ate tomatoes and black breads usually. I started chanting to beg the Bodhisattva to bless my health on Oct. 14, 2013, and I unexpectedly found a very surprising phenomenon that the diabetes was changed from 10.40 at the highest to 5.4 at the lowest (taking medicine). After chanting, I had a chance to help to treat patients and myself, I thought its my good fortune. Now, I would like to share with you and I hope everyone can try to chant.’ (Text/photo: Zhong min Peng , partial group photos for Zhong min Peng and the interviewers were taken by Hrant Bagratyan, the former Prime Minister of Armenia, and Mr. Lee.)
