缘由佛教秉承佛陀之教诲，以十法界为一念，平等无碍而普行饶益之慈悲。圆融含摄于一切，不因异己而舍弃微毫，所以提名‘慈悲圆融’

三国佛教论坛以中国佛教协会、澳中佛教总会、新西兰佛教协会联合主办，澳洲佛教总会承办。又则三个国家，国情、理念、思想、文化、语言、民俗、艺术等各方面皆不相同，充分的体现了多元文化的魅力；因于澳洲承办，而澳洲又是以多元文化为导向的一个国家。以是说言‘多元共生’。此为论坛主题‘慈悲圆融・多元共生’的由来。

在此主题下，设三类‘命题’分论坛，以不同的角度来诠释该主题。

分别以

• “多种信仰、多元文化、多彩世界——人类命运共同体的构建”
• “禅与当代社会”
• “佛教与生态环保”

此三‘命题’为主题，展开论坛的交流讨论。

The Inaugural “Australia-China-New Zealand Triple Nation Buddhist Forum” has embraced the theme “Compassionate Harmony and Multicultural coexistence.”

This theme is inspired by the Buddha’s teachings of universal compassion, which are practiced unobstructedly and with equanimity across the ten realms of existence. Embodying inclusiveness, the theme acknowledges that despite differences in the three nations conditions, ideas, thoughts, cultures, languages, customs, and arts, there is a charm in the compassionate harmony among the nations.

The forum, hosted by the Australia China Buddhist Council LTD., and held in Australia—a country guided by multiculturalism—reflects a commitment to coexistence amidst diversity.

Under this overarching theme, the forum will delve into various sub-themes through focused discussions,
