【本刊訊】臺灣青商會會長，余正昭先生在祖炳民教授夫人的陪同下，於九三年七月二十七日中午抵達柏林根市法界佛教總會總辦事處，造訪宣公上人。
余先生提到，中華民國司法院院長林洋港先生是一位虔誠的佛教徒，為人不忮不求，故請上人祝福林院長當選總統，並給予林院長一些提示。宣公上人回答，要好好為臺灣的百姓著想，多多努力，希望他當選。
宣公上人慨嘆古聖先王都是發政施仁，廉潔愛民，放棄自己的享受，不拿國家當成個人的財產，而飽入私囊，這才是現代從政者應學習的榜樣。對於余先生請問有關海峽兩岸的統一，上人的答覆是－－中國是將來的世界強國， 中國不可不統一。 |

(Announcement) Mr. Yu Jeng-jau, Chairman of Taiwan Junior Chamber of Commerce, accompanied by Mrs. John Tsu, visited the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua before noon at the Head Administration Office of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association at Burlingame.
Mr. Yu said that Mr. Lin Yang-gang, the Head of the Judicial Yuan of Taiwan, is a devoted Buddhist whose character is generous and who is not greedy. He requested the Venerable Master to give Mr. Lin his blessings, hoping that he can be elected as the next president. He also requested instructions and guidelines as a leader for Mr. Lin. Venerable Master Hua replied that Mr. Lin should keep the benefits of the people in mind, and work hard; he further sent his best wishes for victory in the coming election.
Master Hua recalled with a sigh how the ancient sages and kings governed their country with humaness, were incorruptible, pure and loved their people. Renouncing their personal enjoyment, they never treated the country as their own private property. The ancients set the example for the people who regulate the government. When asked about the unification of China's two nations: Taiwan and the mainland, the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua responded that China will be one of the most powerful countries in the world, and by no means can fail to unite. |
