Tai Ji Men

Collective imaginaries sustain our societies but are impoverished by injustice. The Bell of World Peace and Love reminds us that conscience should prevail and violations of justice should be rectified.

French sociologist Émile Durkheim founded Sociology of Education but was uncertain about how to solve the modern educational crisis. The key is conscience, but those who advocate for conscience education are often persecuted.

Scholars and human rights activists praised Tai Ji Men’s role in spreading conscience education, and denounced the movement’s continuing tax harassment.

It is not enough to be independent from foreign jurisdictions. The legal system should also be independent from private interests and malice.

There is no freedom without justice and no justice without freedom. This is also true for the Tai Ji Men case: and love is needed, too.

The 7th-century Japanese ruler taught that law and its enforcement cannot be independent from conscience.

The reasons why the Tai Ji Men case was started on December 19, 1996, and continued for 26 years, are hard to understand rationally. But we all understand a solution is needed now.

Caring for the others is not just sharing material interests but recognizing the value of all human beings. This is what Tai Ji Men teaches.

Muslims believe that solidarity is a natural feeling, but it should be cultivated. Similar ideas exist in most religions, and inspire us in our solidarity with Tai Ji Men.
