To
Achieve the Accomplishments by Standing
Aloof from Worldly Affairs
--An interview of Master Jue Xing,
Chairman of Shanghai Buddhist Association
Pan
Zhen, the reporter

And
the running of the Hope Elemantery
School is a very good example.
Once it is established, its
operation should under the supervision.
That means the project should
become into an entity in operation.
This is called by Jue Xing as
¡®Good start with good result¡¯.
The cooperation with Shanghai
Charity Foundation and Shanghai
Children's Home has continued
successfully ever since Master
Zhen Chan¡¯s time. Every year,
250000RMB is donated to support
the children of the poor families
to study from primary school
to high school, another 200000RMB
to the old and the families
which are quite poor.
The Jade Buddha
Monastery has always been the
first monastery that leads the
tides since the Republic of
China (1912-1949). And today
it is certainly the first pioneer
in diplomatic matters. On May
18, 2000, Master Jue Xiang was
invited by American States Council
to visit the U.S as an international
visitor. During his stay in
the U.S, he noticed that those
who hadn¡¯t any opportunities
to visit China thought China
was nothing different from the
image of 1930s or 1940s. After
Master Jue Xing¡¯s successful
hospitalization of the former
U.S Secretary of State AlBright,
he proposed to change the passive
diplomacy into active diplomacy.
He suggests that the government
invites more well known people
and those who doubt about the
development of China to come
to China to ¡°communicate, converse
and make dialogues ¡± and gets
their mind changed through their
experiences in China. Master
Jue Xing mentioned smilingly
that a few days before, the
new ambassador of India presented
him a set of 160 volumes of
Buddhism Scripture in Pali (the
first set of big Buddhism Scripture
from India government) as a
gift, also a reward to the warmest
hospitalization hosted by the
Jade Buddha Monastery last year.
