Celebration of 40th anniversary of Vietnam Buddhist Sangha to be held online on Nov 7
Hanoi (VNA) – Given
the complicated development of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Executive Council of the
Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) has decided to celebrate the 40th founding anniversary of VBS in the virtual form.
A virtual ceremony will be held on
November 7 under the theme "40 years
of the Vietnamese Buddhist Sangha: Integration and development with the
country".
The celebration is an occasion for VBS to review its achievements
in the development of the organisation, and also an
opportunity to promote the awareness of Buddhist monks, nuns, and
followers on national unity about their responsibility towards building the VBS and national development in the period
of international integration.
Over the past 40 years of
development, the VBS has guided monks, nuns, and Buddhists to practice Buddhist teachings, uphold patriotism and
national unity and contribute to building an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with
national unity./.
