Migrants from China Religion Essay
Migrants, China, Religion, Essay
- I was born in a Chinese family in the British colony of Singapore, my parents were basically illiterate migrants from China so they did not directly influence my worldview very much. I spent ten years at a Catholic school where I received my knowledge, morals and worldview from Catholic priests and teachers who escaped from communist China.
- My most serious challenge through my worldview was when after I got married at age 26, my young wife had cancer and died a terrible death when we were both just 30! I was completely devastated. I question my own existence and that was when I sought refuge in religion and became formally baptized a Catholic. This Christian religious view remained until recently when I turned 60 and had close encounter with Buddhist teachings and I turned vegetarian.
Since Buddhism is a philosophy, not a religion, it does not conflict with my Catholicism. So in my own unique way, I am a mix of East and West, and maintain a yin/yang worldview and sometimes I can pick and choose my response depends on the question or issue.
- Since the end of Second World War 75 years ago there has never been a serious global conflicts, famines or destruction that caused people to question their existence and worldview. Maybe the current COVID 19 crisis that may end up killing ½ million around the world is the first such serious existential challenge, but the effects are still not wide enough and devastating enough to cause most people to question their own existence.
- The greatest strength is that my popular Christian views are shared by at least a billion of other believers and Christianity is the backbone of most advanced countries in the West. Of course, in the last 30-40 years Eastern philosophies have begun to challenge this Western-centric worldview, led by India, Japan and now China.
As such, the biggest challenge for a person like me is how to “sit on the fence” and continue to travel, work, and live in both the East (Singapore and China) and the West (Europe and the US), which I had successfully done for the past 46 years since graduating from college.
- I can see any objection to my worldview coming from both sides of the spectrum. But there is a class of internationalists like myself who are well-travelled, multilingual, multicultural that maintains such a Yin/Yang worldview. We could choose our preference depending on the question and challenge we are faced with.
- It is very hard to design a test. But if life itself is a test, then I have done well in my career and my life, having lived around the world and so far my worldview held up wonderfully well and I am accepted in most communities I choose to function in.
- I’m able to use different aspects of eastern philosophy and western values as road maps to direct my work and life, whether it is in China, in Singapore, in Brussels (where I worked as a EU-diplomat) or in the United States. For example, I run my current family of four using China Confucian teachings but at work I am a strict adherent to western legal systems and intellectual property rights.
- I believe in the Christian version of a universal singular omnipresent and omnipotent God.
- This question is a contradiction by itself. If by “universe”, it means what we can observe then they could be other universes side-by-side or just empty space beyond. But if by “universe”, it means everything that exists, then there is nothing beyond the universe. So the best answer is – I don’t know. ☺
- What can be known is something we can measure. Then our senses limit what we can measure. That is why spiritual things cannot be proven because we cannot measure them. We thus don’t know whether spirit or God exists.
- My Christian belief is that I was created by God, but as a trained scientist I of course believe in evolution. So I came from God’s creation that passed down through evolution.
- God creative the earth 4.5 billion years ago, and life about 4 billion years ago, and I am at the end of a long series of evolutionary changes and part of a seven billion members of the species called Homo Sapiens – or “humans”
- Physically I am where I am now. To be precise, I am living in a condominium in the City of Fremont in Northern California. Spiritually, I’m everywhere.
- I should live as a brother to all mankind, and a faithful believer of God.
- I should value faith, love, human life, animal life, nature and the environment.
- Humankind’s basic problem is greed and selfishness.
- It can never be solved and I believe earth and humankind may end either through nuclear war or total environmental disaster.
- Yes, I like to think so. My body will die but my spirit will remain forever.
