全球首創第一座佛教禮堂「五和塔」，其「五和」的意涵為「自心和悅、家庭和順、人我和敬、社會和諧、世界和平」
每年5月18日，國際博物館協會(ICOM)皆會舉辦國際博物館日(IMD)，這一全球性活動旨在強調博物館在社會中的變革功能。2026年，國際博物館日的主題將聚焦於「博物館連繫分裂的世界 (Museums Uniting a Divided World )」，強調了博物館在跨越文化、社會和地緣政治分歧方面發揮的橋樑作用。透過促進對話、包容與和平，博物館作為備受信任的公共空間，致力於推動相互尊重與和平共處。
在社會碎片化、兩極分化以及知識文化獲取不平等的時代，博物館扮演著重建國界與世代聯繫的關鍵角色。不僅只是作為保存的空間，同時也塑造永續且包容的社群。
今年的主題與三個永續發展目標（SDGs）一致：
永續發展目標10：減少國內及國家間不平等。
永續發展目標16：促進和平且包容的社會，以落實永續發展；提供司法管道給所有人；在所有階層建立有效的、負責的且包容的制度。
永續發展目標17：強化永續發展執行方法及活化永續發展全球夥伴關係。
2026年正值佛光山開山60年暨開山祖師星雲大師百歲誕辰。星雲大師一生致力於推動人間佛教，同樣努力推動和平與平等，並積極跨越隔閡，與各方人士進和合作，以期成為連繫世界的橋樑。
適逢此歷史性時刻，佛館以「和平、平等、合作」為核心，特別設計「佛館聯結歧異的世界：對話、諒解、包容、和平」的紀念活動，邀請每一位參與者在闖關過程中，透過回答問題，了解到星雲大師如何推動相互尊重與和平共處。
想參加活動的民眾可以至禮敬大廳領取免費的明信片，跟尋活動的指引，前往館內搜集四枚印章。完成活動任務後，還能獲得一份精美禮物，歡迎大家共襄盛舉！
請標記您的行事曆，2026年5月18日，一同參與這場鼓舞人心的盛會！

Every year on May 18th, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) holds International Museum Day (IMD), a global event that aims to highlight the transformative role of museums in society. In 2026, the theme of International Museum Day will focus on "Museums Uniting a Divided World," emphasizing the bridging role museums play in crossing cultural, social, and geopolitical divides. By promoting dialogue, inclusion, and peace, museums serve as trusted public spaces committed to fostering mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
In an era of social fragmentation, polarization, and unequal access to knowledge and culture, museums play a key role in rebuilding connections across borders and generations — not only as spaces for preservation, but as shapers of sustainable and inclusive communities.
This year's theme aligns with three Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
- SDG 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries.
- SDG 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies.
- SDG 17: Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
2026 marks the 60th anniversary of Fo Guang Shan's founding and the centennial of its founder, Venerable Master Hsing Yun. Throughout his life, Venerable Master Hsing Yun devoted himself to promoting Humanistic Buddhism, peace and equality, and actively worked across divides to collaborate with people of all backgrounds, aspiring to be a bridge that connects the world.
On this historic occasion, the Buddha Museum has designed a special commemorative event titled “Buddha Museum Unites a Divided World” that is centered on "Peace, Equality, and Partnership.” Participants are invited to journey through a series of interactive challenges, answering questions along the way to discover how Venerable Master Hsing Yun promoted mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
Those wishing to take part can pick up a free postcard at the Front Hall and follow the instructions to collect four stamps throughout the museum. Upon completing all the event tasks, participants will also receive a beautiful gift. Everyone is welcome to join!
Mark your calendars — May 18th, 2026 — and be part of this inspiring celebration!
