I have always been fascinated by Chinese culture, by its high level of comprehension of nature, its philosophical conception of human existence and the imperative of striving for spiritual and moral perfection.  A profound mysticism cuts across its endeavors, deeply influenced by the teachings of Confucius, of whom I am a great admirer, y by other philosophers and scientists such as Lao Tze.  I therefore was deeply pleased by the recognition that I recently received from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Not long my book Morals for the 21st Century was published in that country, through the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RAEN), and it was very well received by the Chinese Academy of Natural Sciences, whose president Mr. Hasn was kind enough to send me a very thoughtful letter in the form of a beautiful and delicate diploma with Chinese characters and symbols, which was presented to me by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in Chile, Mrs. Liu Yuqin, at a lovely event to which I was invited last October 11 (see photos).

The text of the letter is as follows:
Dear Mr. Darío Salas Sommer
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences hereby expresses its respect for you and for your scientific achievement.  Your works have been presented in China by RAEN, which indicates the existence of international recognition for your endeavors. 
We have studied your works and the content of the book Morals for the 21st Century with profound attention.  The problems of morality and human conduct examined in this book concern every inhabitant of our planet.  You are engaged in an enormous task, reopening these questions, leading people to become true human beings.  And this is most difficult because the principal focus in our times is the development of the economy.
There is a lot of talk these days about the ecology of the environment but nonetheless it is important to sustain the equilibrium of the yin-yang and internal order of the individual.
Irrespective of the country in which we live, we are all united within the morality and the universal laws of conduct, which are the same for all inhabitants of the Earth who have the ability to think.
The evolution of the human being must not cease.  The principle objective of Man consists in the development of consciousness, and it is necessary to go deeply into knowledge and to hoard wisdom, to help the people who surround us.
When a person studies his own nature he draws closer to it and conducts his life consciously and reasonably.
Such people show merit at all levels – in the family, at work, in the state, and in nature.
The issues involved in the study of consciousness are similar to traditional Chinese thought.  We are quite familiar with the works of Lao Tze, The Book of Changes, etc.
Only through our combined efforts is it possible to reach success in a matter as large and important as the evolution of the human being.
It is necessary to bring together all of our energy and knowledge in order to walk together down this complex but very interesting path.
Sincerely,
the President of HASN
