More than 2,500 years ago, amidst the political chaos and moral collapse of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was born to a declining Shang Dynasty noble family. He was to eventually become one of the most influential philosophers in the history of mankind.
兩千五百年前，當春秋時期禮崩樂壞之際，孔子誕生於
沒落的商朝貴族家庭，最終成為人類史上最具影響力的
聖哲之一。
The teachings of Confucius relate to the duties of a citizen towards the state and also each other. In his teachings, the Way refers to the path of evolution that leads to the awakening of the innate pure Dharma within all.
孔子學說闡述人對國家與彼此的責任。在他的教導之
中，「道」正是喚醒內在純粹德性的進化之路。
At age 50, Confucius proclaimed to have grasped the “Mandate of Heaven”. Following a significant meeting with Laozi at age 51, he observed three days of silence, prompting reflection on the importance of introspection and self-awareness.
孔子五十而知天命，五十一歲與老子相會後，曾靜默三
日，啟示世人反觀自性的重要。
As 75 Nobel Prize Laureates had jointly declared in Paris
(1988): For mankind to survive the 21st century, we must return
25 centuries to the wisdom of Confucius.
正如 75 位諾貝爾獎得主 1988 年在巴黎共同宣示：
「人類要在 21 世紀生存, 必須汲取孔子廿五世紀前的智
慧。」
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga, had praised Confucius during Her visit to Beijing in 1995: Confucius is right. “But for what we should become good?” is the point people will ask. “Why should we be good people?” people can ask such a question. What is the need to be good, to be balanced? We too had many like this who talked that we have to be in balance, we have to be moral and we have to be righteous people. But for what is this balance we have to find out? This balance is for the ultimate ascent.
霎哈嘉瑜伽創始人錫呂‧瑪塔吉女士 1995 年造訪北京時
曾讚歎：
「孔子是對的。但人們會問『行善所為何事？』『為何
要做善人？』這種問題。我們需要明白：為何要追求平
衡與良善？這種平衡，正是為了終極的昇進。」
