Prologue
As a computer simulationist, I came up in 1972 an idea of establishing
a Globally Collaborative Environmental Peace Gaming through global neural
computer network, on the issue of environment and sustainable development in
developing countries. The games are intended to train would-be decision
makers in crisis management, conflict resolution, and negotiation techniques.
This gaming approach is to devise rational way for conflict resolution.
Over the past three decades I played a major pioneering role in
extending U.S. data communication networks to other countries, particularly
to Japan, and deregulating Japanese telecommunication policies for the use of
e-mail through Internet. I have also contributed by conducting innovative
distance teaching trials with "Global Lecture Hall (GLH)" (TM)
videoconferences using hybrid delivery technologies which spanned from Korea,
Japan, New Zealand, Finland, Italy, France, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, etc.
Basing on these hard track backgrounds, we are now creating a Global
University System (GUS) with colleagues in major regions of the world, which
will be interconnected with Global Broadband Internet (GBI) which to be
financed with Global Service Trust Fund (GSTF).
Internet, which was invented in America, carries its spirit of
Justice, Equality and Freedom with individualization and participatory
democracy. As it is the essence of the Western civilization, it now directly
confronts with the tradition of the Eastern culture, particularly the
authoritative Confucian culture.
The author of this paper hopes the young generation in Taiwan will
find a way to create a new culture of the Knowledge Age in the 21st century,
as cherishing tradition of spirituality ( ) and yet finding and acquiring
new of high technology ( ) for unifying the Eastern culture with Western
culture synergistically.

Quest for Global Peace
(Personal Recollection)
I. Introduction
During the hey day of the Apollo Project of the US National
Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) in late 1960s to early 1970s, all
people around the world were excited with its progress, particularly on its
moon landing, minutes by minutes and second by second.
A photo of our globe (Figure 1) taken by an astronaut on his way back
home showed it as if it is a beautiful ruby or marble floating in dark space.
There are no national boundaries on the globe, as we learned them with a
world map in our child age. All living creatures and vegetation are confined
in a thin fragile biosphere adhered to the surface of the globe. These
realizations made most significant and profound change to the people's
thinking. Our 6 billion people have to love the world and live together
harmoniously and peacefully.
This paper describes a brief account of the author's past history
toward this goal.
II. War Experience
The years of the World War II coincided with my junior high school
years. Thanks to living in the middle of Japan's Honshu Island in
mountainous area, we did not have any bombing. However, our family members
often had to spend many nights trembling together as hearing gun battles and
seeing night sky grow dark red with reflection of fires of cities hundreds
miles away beyond high mountains, as if it was blood of thousands people
dying with bombing.
Right after hearing Emperor's announcement of ending the war over
radio in hot summer day of August 15th, my father and I were walking through
wood. A dove descended on my shoulder, and my father tried to drive it away
with his stick. The dove flied up but came back on my shoulder again and
again. Later, I learned that a dove is a symbol of peace.
The principal of our senior high school was a student dean of a junior
college in Hiroshima. On the morning of the atomic bombing, he was making
his speech to his students in a schoolyard. He was knocked out with a shock
wave of the bomb. When he gained his consciousness, he was aghast to find
hundreds dead bodies of his students. He was lucky since he was standing
just behind of a concrete building that shaded him from the sharp flash light
out of the bomb. His home was however located right underneath of the bomb
blast. He could never find any remnants of his beloved wife and an infant
baby -- their bones were just evaporated.
In the following winters, he often got pneumonia but he never
complained about it nor mentioned any remorse of his encounter with the bomb.
As a Buddhist, he often taught us Buddha's forgiveness, tolerance,
benevolence, virtue, compassion and altruism, which may be the same as
Christian's Agape love.
