“ Taoism Info Global Connection”
在现代物质文明与现代化宗教的冲击下，多元而且组织散漫的道教呈现出无可避免的弱化与消颓倾向，道法日益流失，传承制度日益不全，道学隐而不彰，到处富丽堂皇的宫庙道观，多走向民俗信仰＇有庙无教的＇不成熟的拟似宗教局面，深深令人叹惋与痛惜! 其中关键之一，系长久以来，道教界一直缺少一个被广泛接受的刊物，使得道教界处于一种闭塞的落伍情况，有以致之。 … 摘自《道教月刊》发行刊社评

INTRODUCING the Taoist magazine linking commonpaths and friends on
Taoist news & happenings;
Taoism traditions & practices;
Tao teachings and philosophy …
be it cultural, religious or philosophical ….. be in touch with us!!!
“With our contemporary society becoming increasingly materialistic and religions shifting from traditions to modernity, Taoism with its diverse practices and fragile establishment dramatically withered, is facing great challenges ahead. The teaching of Tao is fast diminishing, its lineage of transmission is inadequate and the philosophy of Tao is neglected. Grand and majestic Taoist temples and shrines are walking the path of folklore beliefs. Taoist places of worship basically lack proper religious education and propagation; religious events and activities are immaturely held. To see Taoism in this state is really lamentable. One of the main causes is that for a very long time, Taoism lacks a religious publication that is widely read and accepted. Hence, the Taoist community is ignorant to news and updates outside their local community.” |
TAOISM NEWS was first published in January 2006 in Taiwan. The monthly magazine is now widely circulated in several countries, such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan and USA. To date, it has successfully published 30 issues. TAOISM NEWS serves as a bridge to connect Taoists from all over the world; its global connection allows Taoist community to easily receive news and updates, latest information and events. The magazine also fosters greater interactions and bonds between Taoist organisations and temples around the world. Be it within the religion or interaction with other faith and beliefs, the Taoist society can understand current affairs and situations with greater insight and awareness.
In July 2008, TAOISM NEWS Head Office (Taiwan) officially appointed TAOIST MISSION (SINGAPORE) as their SOUTH-EAST ASIA CIRCULATION & EDITORIAL LIAISON REPRESENTATIVE. The South-East Asia Liaison Office is located in Singapore which will oversee the TAOISM NEWS circulation, distribution and editorial desk for the region currently covering Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
Taoist Mission (Singapore) with its key objective, propagating Taoist religion and teachings, takes privilege in accepting the undertaking of promoting TAOISM NEWS in South-East Asia. For the purpose of co-ordinating effective communication, Taoist Mission (Singapore) has launched a network “TAOISM NEWS Global Connection” to link interested persons and commonpaths in this region to be friends of this meaningful undertaking.
We cordially invite you to be a Friend of ‘TAOISM NEWS Global Connection’ through various forms of sponsorship. Your noble aid will support the publication’s continuity. All are welcome.
