我們這樣走過歷史

公元399年，晋朝，法顯法師以六十五歲高齡發跡長安，涉流沙、逾蔥嶺，徒步數萬里，遍遊北印，廣參聖跡，學習梵文，抄錄經典，歷時多年，復泛海至獅子國今斯里蘭卡，經耶婆提今印度尼西亞而後返國。時年已八十歲，仍從事佛經翻譯。

公元515年 中國南北朝時代，梁武帝蕭衍極力提倡佛法，其聲望因而遠播於東南亞許多崇奉佛教的國家，狼牙脩亦是其中之一，依照《梁書》卷五十四的《狼牙脩國傳》中記載，在公元515年（天監14年），當時狼牙脩國的國王"婆加達多"，派使者阿撤多出使南京，拜見梁武帝。並交給梁武帝國書。狼牙脩的使者阿撤多交給梁武帝國書全文記載在《粱書》。

627年正月，貞觀元年，玄奘一人西行五萬里，歷經艱辛到達印度佛教中心那爛陀寺取真經，前後十七年，遍學了當時大小乘各種學說，一共帶回佛舍利150粒、佛像7尊、經論657部，並長期從事翻譯佛經的工作。玄奘及其弟子翻譯出典75部（1335卷），譯典著作有《大般若經》《心經》《解深密經》《瑜伽師地論》《成唯識論》等。《大唐西域記》十二卷，記述他西遊親身經歷的110個國家及傳聞的28個國家的山川、地邑、物產、習俗等。《西遊記》即以玄奘取經事跡為原型。

公元671，唐朝咸亨二年，唐朝名僧義淨大師曾經由海路到印度取經。由廣州，取道海路，經室利弗逝（蘇門答臘巴鄰旁，Palembang）至印度，一一巡禮鷲峰、雞足山、鹿野苑、祇園精舍等佛教聖跡後，往那爛陀寺勤學十年，後又至蘇門答臘遊學七年。歷遊三十余國，返國時，攜梵本經論約四百部、舍利三百粒至洛陽，武后親至上東門外迎接，敕住佛授記寺。公元695年回國，期間極可能曾在同樣信奉佛教的狼牙脩（Langkasuka 吉打/泰南）停留。

1854 11月至1856年元月，華萊士在砂拉越大森林裡走過的探險之旅。

1855 在山都望政府渡假村做客的華萊士，花了三個晚上寫了一篇論文，提出聞名後世的“砂拉越定律”（Sarawak Law）。

2013 紀念華萊士逝世一百週年的特別年份。

Comment by 卡萊爾的書包 on January 6, 2021 at 5:20pm: 《Chinese Cultural Heritage in Sarawak》

by Dr Tan Beng Huat, Chairman,
Silk Road Cultural Endowment.

For the first time in Malaysian History, the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture is a Sarawakian. After Dato' Dr Ng Yen Yen, Dato' Sri Nancy Shukriis the second lady politician heads this Portfolio. Doubtless to say, East Malaysia is rich beyond imagination in natural & cultural endowment, don't forget that, Malaysia's very first two World Heritage Sites listed with UNESCO, namely Mulu Cave of Sarawak & Mt. Kinabalu of Sabah are at this part of the world. On the other hand, there are still many hidden gems exist without travelers' deservedly attention. Here is one of my sincere personal recommendations, Sibu's various cultural parks contributed by the local Chinese Communities from different dialects/ancestry. You can hardly find any similar cultural phenomena in other parts of the world.

In view of the severe blows to the tourism industryby the Covid-19, the attention to this new venture is even more timely and pressing. Our tourism sector is already vulnerable enough even long before the outbreak of the present pandemic, are we serious to rebuild it? China can be our role model. Although the initial figure predicted that only 14% of their tourism SME will survive the current challenge, they have managed to adapt to changes fast. While we still re struggling, they have begun to return to the prosperity they enjoyed before. Their experience can prevent us from unnecessary attempts.

It's advisable to rebuild with new model/rules of the game. Including developing more rural/suburban destinations to avoid congestion；AND more places to promote health tourism. Isn't that sound suggestive to Sarawak & Sabah?
