Dear
Taoist Temple Qing Jing Gong of Spain:
President, Secretary:
We have received the November 12 invitation fax and we were glad to
know that the Association was preparing the solemn cerebration of the
second anniversary of the Temple Qing Jing Gong and that president Min,
vice-president Zhang and secretary Yuan are invited to visit Spain to
attend the celebration activity. Nevertheless, in this date the leaders
of our Association are busy managing Taoists matters, reason why they
could not be present in this celebration, but solemnly we sent this
letter for expressing our sincere gratefulness for your kind invitation.
We congratulate you for the celebration activity of the second anniversary
and we hope that you obtain complete merits and virtues. We also wanted
to wish all the Association members a good omen and that the magnanimous
spirit of the Tao will always be sheltered, but above all, that the
Taoist cause prospers.
Taoism
was a religion that arose in China but the abundant and deep Taoist
culture is part of humanity. You have established the Taoist Temple
Qing Jing Gong to spread Taoist culture and to promote its development;
this fact has much validity and importance and is a great festival event
for Taoist circles.
Although
we are in different countries and have different cultural traditions,
we have the same faith in the Tao and same enthusiasm to spread Taoism
and to favor everybody. We wish that the Taoists areas of our two countries
can strengthen the friendly contact, promote friendship and contribute
together to the diffusion and strengthening of the Taoist culture.
We
welcome that your temple could send a group to China to visit the Taoist
temples in the illustrious mountains.
We wish you happiness!
China Taoist Association
