Taoist culture is profound and extensive, representing a common wealth for all humanity.
Taoist culture is profound and extensive, representing a common wealth for all humanity. In today's globalized world, the promotion of Taoist culture to reach a wider audience is crucial. It fosters exchange and mutual learning among diverse cultures, providing robust cultural support for the construction of a shared human destiny, which is a collective mission for Taoist practitioners.
The Taoist Association of Australia is continuously striving to promote the dissemination of Taoist culture. The successful organization of the Motherly Love Music Gala in 2021 and 2022 has played a significant role in consolidating China's outstanding traditional culture, showcasing the convergence of Eastern and Western cultures through diverse forms of stage arts, dazzling audiences worldwide.
In celebration of the establishment of the World Taoist Federation and the shared vision of promoting the development of Taoist culture, the third edition of the Motherly Love Music Gala, jointly hosted by the Taoist Association of Australia, the China Taoist Association, and the Hong Kong Taoist Joint Council, is elevated to become the World Taoist Culture Festival. This aims to enhance the understanding of Chinese Taoist culture among the global Chinese community, overseas Chinese, and Australians, thereby elevating the influence of Taoist culture worldwide.
