敬愛的 薄伽梵 師尊：您好(prayer_hands)(prayer_hands)(prayer_hands)
關於《ABC 7.30》這則斷章取義、歪曲事實的污名化的视频報導，令弟子想到7月23日三十多年的老朋友安德里亚娜·泰勒Adriana Taylor在澳大利亞塔州中國佛教學院第15屆國際學術研討會暨第9屆上座部佛教、大乘佛教、聖密乘佛教靈性對話和第7屆世界聯合佛教僧伽文化交流會全體大會的開幕式上發人深省的致辭。
Truth，真理，真相。生活在網絡時代、信息時代的人們，容易受各種碎片化信息影響，而斷章取義，偏見誤導。一個錯誤信息源頭經過話語權操作可以對謠言受害者造成不可估量的傷害和負面影響。“三人成虎”，“眾口鑠金”，古老的成語在今天的背景下尤其具有警世意義。社會需要正能量。尋求真理和傳播真理在今天比以往任何時候都更加重要。
尊敬的安德里亚娜·泰勒 Adriana Taylor 致辭中文翻譯和英文原文如下：
謝謝！我覺得我應該對您們說，我們都應該站起來活動一下，因為我們已經坐了很長時間了。感謝 王大師邀請我和我的丈夫貝勒斯今天來到這裡。
我感到非常榮幸，能夠有這樣的同伴、這樣的世界領袖和這樣尋求真理的宗教領袖在一起。真理真的很重要。尋求真理很重要，這就是您們今天召開這次研討會的原因，所以，我爲此表示祝賀。然而，傳播真理也非常重要。
在當今世界，社交媒體和技術濫用正在使許多人誤入歧途，正在傳播人們所謂的虚假新闻或傳播不和諧的謊言。因此，尋求真理和傳播真理在今天比以往任何時候都更加重要。因此，感謝您們繼續召開研討會，並感謝您們所有人為追求和傳播真理所做的一切工作。
正如 王大師開示，我們現在有一個長期聯盟，我們一直在聚會。貝勒斯和我很榮幸在過去幾十年裡多次來到這裡並與此社團相伴，這一直是令人愉快的，一直是一種榮幸，這對我的靈魂有益。我希望當您們來到這裡一起參加盛會，能夠給您們所有人的靈魂帶來和平。
感謝 王大師今天在此的教導，也感謝今天發表講話給我們教益的人們。 對我們來說，這樣做很重要，今天來到這裡也很重要。所以，對我們來說，這是一種榮幸。謝謝您們。祝願您們今天有一場精彩的研討會。
Thank you. I feel like I should say to you we should all stand up and have a wriggle because we’ve been sitting for a long time. Thank you, Master Wang, for the invitation and for Beres and I for my husband and I to be here today.
Its an honour and privilege to be here amongst such company, such world leaders and such religious leaders who seek for truth. The truth is really important. It‘s important to seek the truth, which is why you are having this symposium today, so congratulations on that. But it’s also so important to spread the truth.
In our world today, the misuse of social media and the misuse of technology is leading many people astray, leading, it is spreading falsehoods of what people are calling fake news or spreading disharmony. And so the seeking of truth and the spreading of truth is more important today now than ever. So thank you for continuing with the symposiums and with all the work that you do to seek and spread the truth, all of you.
As Master Wang has said and we now have a long association, we’ve been meeting and we Beres and I we are privileged to be here and be in the company of this community many times over the last several decades. And it’s always a pleasure and it‘s always an honour and it does my soul good and I hope it brings peace to all your souls when you come here for this kind of meeting together.
Thank you for your teaching here today Master Wang, and for those of you who spoke to us and taught us today too. It‘s important for us to do that and important for us to be here today. So for us it’s a privilege and thank you and I wish you a wonderful symposium today.
