道教之音江西讯 2014年11月25日上午第三届国际道教论坛开幕式在龙虎山举行，英国菲利普亲王向本次论坛发来贺信，原文如下：
1995年我在温莎城堡欢迎来自中国的道长后，成立了世界宗教与环境保护基金会，因此中国道教协会也是世界宗教与环境保护基金会的创始合伙人之一。在过去的二十年时间里，我饶有兴趣地看到你们开展了大量的工作。
国际道教论坛追求人与自然的和谐。今天，你们相聚在天师古老的道教圣地，我送上我的问候并预祝论坛圆满成功。
我尤其赞赏你们为保护世界濒危物种所做的工作。我相信道教在人类保护天地平衡、道法自然方面至关重要，而我们似乎失去了这种平衡。我期待着论坛成功的消息，并希望藉此论坛，人类能够更加努力，更重要的是新的去保护世界自然的努力会源于这样的会议。
In 1995 I welcomed the Daoists of China to Windsor Castle to launch ARC. The China Daoists Association thus became one of the founding partnerss of ARC and I have watched with interest the scale of work you have undertaken over the last almost twenty years.
Today as you gather for the Act in Concord with the Tao meeting at the ancient site of the Celestial Masters, I send you my greetings and best wishes for a successful event.
I especially commend you for the work you have undertaken to protect the endangered species of this world of ours. I believe that the Daoist vision of humanity’s role being to maintain the balance of Heaven and Earth is a crucial one in a world where we seem to have lost that balance.
I look forward to hearing of the success of your meeting and more importantly of the new efforts that will arise from your meeting to help protect the world of nature.
