联合国秘书长潘基文称赞《世界和平》一书具有推广价值
7月4日，联合国秘书长潘基文出席哥本哈根联合国新城落成典礼期间，对丹麦摄影家协会主席、皇家摄影师彭忠民先生赠送的《世界和平》一书爱不释手，秘书长认为:《世界和平》一书值得推崇，该书对世界和平具有现实意义。
哥本哈根联合国新城是世界第六大联合国城，将为8个联合国组织1200名员工提供办公场所。在该新城落成仪式上，女王玛格丽特二世(H.M Queen Margrethe 11 of Denmark) 、联合国秘书长潘基文(UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon )及丹麦首相赫勒.托宁.施密特(The Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark) 在内的1500名嘉宾出席.丹麦籍皇家摄影师彭忠民先生把弘扬中国台湾星云大師的和平思想和理念的《The Peace of The World》3 D FILM 一书作为礼物送给联合国秘书长潘基文。
2012年11月，彭忠民的特别专著《世界和平》一书(該书的3D FILM由((丹麦皇家))杂志驻中国香港记者刘天龙制作)在“童话王国”丹麦问世后，迅速向全球推广。
《世界和平》一书出版前后，受到了全球政要的青睐，迄今为止，已得到190多名来自50个国家的总统、首相、部镸(大臣)及联合国、欧盟、北约領导人、部分北欧皇室主要成員直接参与支持，并由国际政要为此书签名、题词、作序。
一个地球 一个愿望 一册书 一条路——–世界和平《The Peace Of The World》.
当日,《世界和平》一书作为礼品进入哥本哈根联合国新城Marmormolen前, 发生一个趣闻:联合国秘书长接收礼品要走三个程序,首先安捡，其次由秘书长的卫队长将书交潘基文的秘书，最后潘基文秘书呈交礼物给潘基文。卫队长向彭忠民介绍礼物过安检时的情况，因秘书长属下十多名官员争相传阅《世界和平》一书,以至于忘记走安检程序…..【作者 王应于】
20120528 丹麥皇家記者彭忠民 拜會星雲大師
(佛光山人間衛視)
星雲大師多年來致力推動人間佛教，感動全世界許多人，其中之一就是丹麥皇家攝影師彭忠民，他為了推動星雲大師的和平思想，特別編寫專書，並邀請專家製作3D專書。
出版星雲大師世界和平之路3D專書 丹麥皇家攝影師彭忠民訪問佛大

星雲大師推動人間佛教與人間大學志業，感動北歐丹麥皇家攝影師彭忠民，他於2012年5月22日到達佛光大學專訪楊朝祥校長，暢談星雲大師以愛為出發點，宣揚人間佛教與推動文化教育工作。彭忠民推崇星雲大師是一位佛教高僧與和平使者。
丹麥籍的彭忠民自1995年開始，擔任丹麥皇家攝影師曁高級記者，丹麥王室成為攝影師，是全球主要八個君主立憲國家王室中唯一華人攝影師。他身兼丹麥王國攝影家協會主席，也是「丹麥皇家」（Royal Press）雜誌社副社長，他已經出過六本重要的著作和攝影專輯，他的第七本專書就是介紹「星雲大師的世界和平唯一道路」（The Only Road Master Hsing Yun The Peace of The World）。
彭忠民與香港飛龍3D設計公司負責人劉天龍（永鴻居士）兩人，由蘭陽別院督導陳林泉夫婦陪同，此次專程到佛光大學實地考察，並且針對星雲大師辦學理念與佛教推動和平的思想，專訪楊朝祥校長和劉三錡副校長。
楊朝祥校長表示，和平的基礎就是愛，愛自己、愛別人、愛環境、愛萬物，就能愛別人的國家，世界就能和平。星雲大師創辦佛光大學、南華大學、美國西來大學和澳洲南天大學的一貫理念，就是倡導「把智慧留給自己，將大學留在人間」。包括佛光山所有幼稚園、小學和中學，主要都是透過教育培養人才，而推動和平的理念，正是需要優秀人才去執行，佛光大學的校訓「義正道慈」，是培養學生愛惜自己的生命，也尊重別人的存在，尊重多元文化，從民間推動世界和平。
楊校長說，星雲大師辦理四所幼稚園、兩所國中小學、一所高中和海內外四所大學，完全是以愛為出發點，尤其以愛心幫助低收入的家庭和學子，以往南華大學初期四年完全免學費，現在佛光大學比照公立大學收費，就是讓教育資源能夠普及，讓學生感受到大師的愛與佛教的愛。
攝影家彭忠民說，他的星雲大師和平專書已經完成大樣，這兩天將呈現給大師定奪，並且補齊此次專訪佛光大學的影像和文案。彭忠民多年來為丹麥王室攝影，也因為攝影技術精湛，廣受往訪丹麥的世界各國領袖敬重，五天前，他隨丹麥王 儲 Crown prince訪問南韓，並且在北緯三十八度會見北韓部長級官員，這次來台灣拜見星雲大師，主要是結合攝影同好劉天龍的3D設計，將在星雲大師和平專書中，設計多張3D圖片，透過精采的圖片和深度訪談，詳細介紹星雲大師從佛教高僧到和平使者的歷程，給世界各國王室和政府首腦閱讀，並推廣給他們的人民。
彭忠民說，當今世界各地仍有許多衝突和危機，和平不會從天上掉下來，而是要靠民間和官方的力量。星雲大師以佛教的愛心推動教育與文化，就是以民間的力量促進世界和平，他希望這本專書用世界最高品質的製作和設計，以生動的內容吸引各國的政府領袖和聯合國祕書長等首腦，認識星雲大師的和平之路，讓官方也一起推動世界和平。
陪同彭忠民訪問佛大的攝影家劉天龍，是香港頂尖的3D設家專家，他皈依星雲大師多年，近來協助佛陀紀念館的佛教藝術創新設計，連續訪問佛光山36趟，他以最先進和權威的3D技術，攝製一張高度160公分的星雲大師立體相片，成為佛陀紀念館最耀眼的大師圖像，各地道場紛紛打聽要求複製。這次，他以更精湛的3D照片編入大師的和平專書，光是樣書就已經造成轟動。
佛光大學劉三錡副校長接受訪問時說，佛大五十七公頃校園，大約有三十幾公頃一直保留未開發的原始林地，校方準備調查生態與環境，並劃為自然生態保留區，可望成為全台唯一在校園之內劃設自然生態保留區的大學。
劉天龍和彭忠民經過一天的佛光校園深度專訪和攝影，他們一路稱讚佛大是最美麗的大學，劉天龍直稱「震撼、震撼」，他們認為佛光大學的辦學品質和校園景觀，一定要推向國際化之路。劉天龍也承諾，會協助佛光大學設計3D明信片和主要的校園風光圖片。兩位攝影大師也希望能夠有機會將新聞攝影理念和3D藝術攝影成果，透過短期學術交流和佛光大學的師生當面推廣。

BY: Venerable Master Hsing Yun
Venerable Master Hsing Yun was born in 1927 in Jiangdu, Jiangsu Province, China. Having grown up in a poor household with both parents working, Venerable Master Hsing Yun never received formal education and was left in the care of his maternal grandmother. After the Sino-Japanese War broke out, while accompanying his mother to search for his missing father, who had most likely lost his life in the war in 1938, he was tonsured by eminent Master Zhi Kai in Qixia Temple, Nanjing, with Dajue Temple in Yixing, Jiangsu, as his ancestral temple. In 1947, Venerable Master Hsing Yun graduated from Jiaoshan Buddhist College, where he underwent a complete Buddhist education of Ch’an, Vinaya, doctrinal traditions, and later became the principal of Baita Elementary School, editor-in-chief of Raging Billows Monthly and abbot of Huazang Temple in Nanjing.
He arrived in Taiwan in 1949 and became the dean of the Taiwan Buddhist Seminar as well as the editor-in-chief of Human Life Magazine. In 1953, he became the guiding teacher for the Buddhist Chanting Association of Yilan, and subsequently established the Buddhist Cultural Service Centre in Taipei, in 1957. In 1964, he founded Shou Shan Temple and Shou Shan Buddhist College in Kaohsiung; and then founded the Fo Guang Shan (Buddha’s Light Mountain) Buddhist Order in 1967. With the objectives: to propagate the Dharma through culture; to foster talents through education; to benefit society through charity, and to purify people’s minds through spiritual cultivation, he has dedicated his efforts to propagating Humanistic Buddhism. Additionally, he integrated tradition and modernity in establishing the rules and regulations which were drafted and published into the Rules and Regulations of the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Order, bringing Buddhism into a new milestone of modernization.
Having been a monastic for over seventy years, Venerable Master has successively established over three hundred temples around the world, among which Hsi Lai Temple in the United States, Nan Tien Temple in Australia, Nan Hua Temple in South Africa, and Zulai Temple in Brazil, each being the largest in the country. He also founded sixteen Buddhist Colleges, twenty-four art galleries, libraries, several publishing companies, bookstores, fifty Cloud and Water Mobile Libraries, fifty Chinese schools, as well as Chih-Kuang Commercial and Industrial Vocational High School, Pu-Men Senior High School, Jiun Tou Elementary and Junior High School, Junyi School for Innovative Learning, and several kindergartens. Other education institutes were also established in the United States, Taiwan, Australia, and Philippines such as Hsi Lai University (now University of the West), Fo Guang University, Nanhua University, Nan Tien Institute, and Guang Ming College respectively. In 2006, University of the West became the first university established by a Chinese organization to be accredited by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges).
In December 2011, under Venerable Master’s guidance, the Buddha Memorial Center officially opened to the public and received the National Golden Award For Architecture: Golden Lion Award for Culture and Education) the following year. In 2014, three years after its opening, the Buddha Memorial Center has been recognized as a member of ICOM (International Council of Museums), becoming the museum to acquire membership in the shortest time since opening. In the same year, the Buddha Memorial Center was awarded the 2014 Travelers’ Choice and a Certificate of Excellence by the world’s largest travelling website, TripAdvisor, gaining international recognition for having hosted various art exhibitions, promoting education and Cross-Strait cultural exchange, collecting artifacts from different eras for its underground palace, and continuously contributing to the society.
To promote world peace, over the years, Venerable Master has met with leaders of different countries including King Bhumibol of Thailand, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, President Diosdado Macapagal of the Philippines, President of Dominica Sir Clarence Seignoret, Vice President of the United States Al Gore and three Prime Ministers of Malaysia Mahathir, Abdullah Badawi and Najib. Besides, Venerable Master has also had religious dialogues with other religious leaders such as President of the World Fellowship of Buddhists HSH Princess Poon Pismai Diskul, Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
In 2004, he accepted the position of chairperson of the religious organizations association in the National Cultural Association. Together with religious leaders of Christianity, Catholicism, Yi-Guan-Dao, Daoism, and Islam, he attended the Praying for Love and Peace Concert, which promoted communication between religions and implicated the use of religion to help purify the minds of people in society. Venerable Master has also held cultural exchange forums with Swedish Academy Nobel Committee member Professor Goran Malmqvist, Swedish Sinologist Professor Torbjorn Loden, Harvard University’s Professor Ezra Vogel, and Winner of Nobel Prize in Literature Mo Yan. In 2013, his meeting with three successive Presidents of Mainland China, Xi Jinping, Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin has written a new page in the Buddhism history.
In recent years, Venerable Master has returned to China to rebuild Da Jue Temple and also to donate to the construction of the Chinese Academy Museum, Jianzhen Library in Yangzhou, Nanjing University’s Fo Guang Building as well as to establish the Yangzhou Forum and the Venerable Master Hsing Yun Public Education Trust Fund, all with hopes of promoting Cross-strait harmony and bringing world peace.
Throughout his lifetime of propagating Humanistic Buddhism, Venerable Master Hsing Yun has indeed contributed tremendously to the systematization, modernization, humanization, and internationalization of Buddhism development!
