She explained how globalization had affected coexistence both positively and
negatively, emphasizing that "coexistence is possible only when culture and
modernization are in balance".
She warned that efforts at coexistence fail when people claim "We are all one" but
disrespect each other's ancient customs and traditions.
Amma urged the assembly to respect diversity. "An awareness of the need for
coexistence amidst diversity is the only way to allev iate the suffering of others."
Asking everyone to show respect and tolerance, she said: "When we engage others
with respect, understanding and acceptance, then we will be able to communicate at
the level of the heart."
In her speech, Amma focussed on the power of love.
"For 40 years, I have been communicating with people of all languages, races, colours,
castes and religion, from the very poorest to the rich and famous, through the language
of love.
"There are no barriers for love. I have full faith in the transformational power of love to
unite all hearts."
This was Amma's first v isit to China. In the past three decades, she has v isited numerous
countries preaching spirituality - from the US and Russia to Africa and Reunion I sland.
Among those who heard Amma were Cui Tiankai, China's v ice minister in the foreign
ministry, UN official Jean-Christophe Bas, Chen Jian, president of the UN Association of
China, and Tu Guangshao, v ice mayor of Shanghai.
The UN Alliance of Civ ilizations (UNAOC) has organised the conference, a spokesperson
for Amma told IANS.
During the past 40 years, Amma, whose spiritual organization is headquartered in Kerala,
has embraced more than 32 million people from all over the world as a gesture of
