228 Taiwanese Spirits Taesiong Scripture

Prayer


Chanting and practicing build achievements.  Spreading the Dharma accumulates virtues.  Guiding and salvaging the lost ones to early awareness and early realization.  For the nation-building of Taiwan, its time has come.  Our children and children’s children shall follow and take up democratic nation-building, human rights and liberty; and to live perpetually with Heaven’s Mandate.  The spirit of the February 28th Movement shall always be with Taiwan; shall always be with you.

 


 

(Chanting the Open Hearts Mantra Three Times to Complete the Scripture)


 

Um  Um  Hong  Hong  Tsum

Duo   La   Ba   Ni   Hum

Historians and civic groups yesterday warned about recent attempts to Sinicize the content of history textbooks in Taiwan, saying that if the Ministry of Education (MOE) compromises on the issue, students would be taught to adopt worldviews from the authoritarian era.

At separate press conferences, the groups and historians said several textbook publishers and media outlets’ call to change the term “Japan-governed period” to “Japanese occupation period” not only violates the current educational curriculum, adpproved in 2009, but also espouses a China-centric mindset.
