As the first major enterprise established by Master Hsin Tao, the Museum of World Religions is based on the spirit of the Huayan school of Chinese Buddhism—“Respect all beliefs, embrace all peoples, cherish every life.” Built with the kind donations offered by the Buddhist community over many years, the museum is the crystallization of wisdom.
It is the world's first museum solely dedicated to promoting knowledge and understanding of the world's major religions. Combining the beauty of art and culture, as well as the insights of academic religious studies, the Museum has been the subject of considerable international acclaim. Since its opening, the Museum has continued to host interfaith dialogues and exchanges in order to increase mutual understanding and friendly interaction amongst various religions. Its collections, exhibitions, programs, research, and publications have developed into an invaluable resource for educational institutes at all levels.
