Life is traveling.Traveling is to see and learn more about the world, to open our mind and broaden our vision. The more we travel, the better understanding we will develop toward this living world. Only when we understand the world as it is shall we live in it with joy and wisdom. Traveling is thus a means to unearth the well of wisdom from which we can fetch without an end.

Traveling, seeing, learning and contemplating is a self-development process to sharpen our world view and to shape within ourselves a constructive mind leading to a right path of living and will be in turn a cause of benefit to us and the world as a whole.

Creative traveling is indeed a way to create a certain consciousness and a profound practical value in human lives and to retrieve human virtue and merit. It leads us to the moment of realizing the law of dependent origination between our mind and body together with others. We will gradually see the oneness behind this world and that all beings are welded as a chain of dependence "because this exists so that arises" causing an endless stream of existence. Only when the truth of life is realized shall our wisdom emerge. Let us begin our creative traveling now.
