RENAISSANCE :PROMISE FOR A BETTER WORLD"

Dear Friends,

Here is the concluding section " World Harmony Consensus and World
Harmony Renaissance Declaration" of my next book "World Harmony
Renaissance:Promise for a better World" for your preview and
comment.

Democracy as an European movement began from the age of

enlightenment. It advocated citizen's and human rights. It was a great
movement that released human energy. Through European
Renaissance our modern world of science began. American
independence continued this tradition. U. S. Constitution and Bill of
Rights advocated democracy through law and order. That is the
strength of Western democracy.

The essence of Eastern teaching is self discipline through harmony

with nature. In Chinese the ancient saying is "Tien Ren He Yi" meaning
the unity of man and universe. From the Middle East, the cradle of
major World Religions, we all learned submission of our will to the
creator. In this practice traditionally, the Eastern culture placed more
emphasis on moral values and avoiding extremism. The Eastern
practice of harmony is through contemplation of nature, self discipline
and meditation. The West learned meditation and faith from Eastern
philosophies and religions. The basic harmony value of avoiding
extremism together with family unity and ancestry worship continued
Chinese culture of 5000 years without causing ecology catastrophe,
despite certain excesses of the past.

Harmony belongs to the world and all culture of the world contain
harmony. It is in practice and emphasis that we are different. For
Harmony Renaissance to take hold the West and East must work
together. The Western practice of advocacy in pursuing democracy can
now be applied to advocating Harmony Renaissance. The West and
East both can learn from each other. In America Easterners need to
learn how to apply advocacy to Harmony Renaissance by
understanding the American system. Together, the advent of Harmony
Renaissance will bring the world together with a higher common value.

In America, East and West could very well learn from each other and
put together an unity Harmony Renaissance Declaration as a start. The
next phase of human development through Harmony Renaissance will
divert our wasted energy in human conflicts and religious strife to
working together on scientifically sustainable ecology. Our common
scientific development will begin another surge. Thus Harmony
Renaissance will bring us to a higher level of human common
endeavour. Without question, future human accomplishment from the
release of energy through World Harmony Renaissance will surpass
European Renaissance.

The advent of European and American democracy heralded the age of

modern science and cultural renaissance. It is one of the greatest
human contribution to our common world heritage. But it eventually
encouraged individualism, insatiable consumerism and extremism in
the absence of individual personal harmony practice. In today's
conflicting world of 6 billion population and growing, each person on
earth wanting to own a SUV or HUMVEE is a form of insatiable extreme
consumerism. Simple arithmetic will show this type of extreme
consumerism unchecked places unsustainable demand on our common
world resources. .

Cultural excesses of insatiable consumerism and individualism in the

West and its spread to the East now needs to be balanced by Eastern
harmony, moderation and family values. This means bringing back
basic family and group harmony through practice of self discipline. As
well meaning as Western law and order democracy is, our world is not
sustainable with the spread of today's insatiable consumerism and
extreme individualism Traditionally in China as detailed in my book
"China's Harmony Renaissance: What the World Must Know" law is
only the bottom line, common moral values above it. By necessity we
need to bring back self discipline through harmony practice, mutual
development and harmony development. The premise and title of this
book is "World Harmony Renaissance:Promise for a Better World"

As a start, It is paramount that the world through Harmony

Renaissance must reach meaningful World Harmony Consensus. The
current continuing rapid development of China, India and the rest of
the developing world must be encouraged to adopt "Harmony
Development" through personal individual self discipline. The West and
parts of the developed Asia at the same time need to set an example
to curb extreme individualism and consumerism. Within the frame
work of this 'World Harmony Consensus" we will see the promise of a
more sustainable and better world, Q.E.D.

Q.E.D. is a Latin term meaning it is demonstrated or proved which I

vaguely remembered from my high school geometry class. During my
childhood, enthusiasm that all things Western were good including
Western mathematics and Science, Q.E.D. came to mean with modern
science everything is quite easily done. Frankly reaching World
Harmony consensus for Harmony Development can be quite easily
done if we practice less individualism and more harmony through
personal discipline. World cultural flow must not just from the West to
the East. "Be proud you are citizens of the world and not citizens of
one country." Do I have your support to initiate the first World
Harmony Renaissance Day Cultural Festival?
