梵語Sanātana Dharma指的是永恆之法、永恆的秩序,強調生命自我意識,必須履行義務:誠實、不傷害眾生、純潔、善意、慈悲、耐心、忍耐、自制、慷慨和苦行等美德,終將脫離輪迴的束縛,獲得最終的解脫。
本展分為三個單元:「創造與重生」、「人神共存的世界」、「奉愛的實踐」。觀眾透過「翻攪乳海」的創世神話,走入印度宗教信仰的世界;了解修行在人生中的意義,發現人與神之間的互動,沒有隔閡──其實祂陪伴在我們日常生活左右,維持世界永恆的秩序。
The Sanskrit term Sanātana Dharma refers to the eternal law and universal order. It highlights the truthful awakening of life and the obligation to practice virtues such as honesty, non-violence, purity, benevolence, compassion, patience, endurance, self-restraint, generosity, and asceticism. This path ultimately leads to liberation from the cycle of rebirth and the attainment of ultimate transcendence.
Opening a window into the heart of Hindu faith, this exhibition comprises three sections—Creation and Rebirth, A World Shared by Gods and Humans, and The Practice of Bhakti. Beginning with the ancient myth of "The Churning of the Ocean of Milk," visitors can reflect on the purpose of spiritual practice and the intimate bond between humanity and the divine. The gods often accompany us through the ordinary moments of life, maintaining the universe's eternal harmony.
