爾等皆為一樹之果一海之波
造物主獨一
凡存有受造物,即是有創造主。兩者並非對等,受造物無能知造物主,造物主確知受造物。猶如畫家知其畫,畫無能知畫家,其理至明。有史以來,人尊稱祂,均離不開人本身知性侷限的名稱。上帝、真主、神、宇宙主宰、無所不知者、全能者,不一而足。然而造物主乃獨一,卻是真理,其本質超乎人類理解,然而所有受造物均輝映上帝的屬性與徵象。
人類一家
無論從學理與現實面,考古或遺傳的驗證,基因排序或人種演化之事實,超乎種族、文化、信仰、性別等外顯特徵,人類確切同為一種。人類與人類的後代,絕對也只會是人類。習俗、語言、科學與藝術成就的差異乃是這榮耀人類家族多元貢獻的足跡所有人都是推進物質繁榮與靈性文明演進的必然角色。
宗教同源
宗教旨在探求靈性真理,與科學探尋物質真理,並不相悖。人類文明的發展,從野蠻到理性,從民智未開到文化養成,客觀歷史事實確立了宗教教化的力量。宗教本質上是演進的,人類既然是被創造的,其每階段所需之靈性教育,乃是宗教啟示之肇因。創造主命諭顯聖者降臨亦是其創生旨意,不可或缺的一環。顯聖先知,克里希納,亞伯拉罕,摩西,瑣羅亞斯德,佛陀,耶穌基督,穆罕默德和巴孛與巴哈歐拉,均來自同一神聖的源頭,其啓示的內涵乃因應時代之需。
影片【百年志業回顧】
Glimpses of a Hundred Years of Endeavour
In 1921, at the time of the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, a relatively small Bahá’í community, though grieving, looked to the future with faith and courage, focused on the instructions that had been left by Him, the Centre of Bahá’u’lláh’s Covenant. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá had provided clear guidance for how the Bahá’í community was to grow, develop and increasingly serve humanity. Since that time, the followers of Bahá’u’lláh have been striving, with unimaginable sacrifice, to implement that guidance, reaching the farthest corners of the globe. This film provides glimpses into a hundred years of endeavour and learning, carried out by a burgeoning Bahá’í community, and outlines the journey that has led to the community’s current efforts to contribute to the emergence of a world based on the principle of the oneness of humanity.
