National Museum of Natural Science Introduction
The founder of the Chung Tai World Museum, Master Wei-Jue An, upholds the principles of compassion in Buddhism while promoting the Five Transformations of Buddhism: the educational, scholarly, artistic, scientific, and practical aspects. This initiative aims to widely disseminate the compassion and wisdom of Buddhism. The construction of the Chung Tai World Museum serves as a tangible embodiment of the artistic aspect of Buddhism and acts as a platform for practicing "artistic world." Adhering to the founder's concepts of "propagating the Dharma, preserving historical culture, education, and art," along with the responsibilities and faith in Buddhism, the museum aspires to provide a historical testament through the exhibition of Buddhist art and culture. This effort seeks to enhance understanding of Buddhism and inspire confidence, spreading the wisdom, compassion, and spirit of equality found in Buddhist teachings to the hearts of all those who are destined to encounter it.
