Official pays Tet visit to VN Buddhist Sangha
Binh, member of
the Party Central Committee and Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, said he
wished Most Venerable Thich Thanh Tu, Vice Chairman of the VBS
Executive Council and venerables and superior bonzes a happy and healthy
New Year.
While providing information on the country’s
socio-economic review in 2010 and orientation in 2011 and the 11 th
National Party Congress, Binh affirmed that the achievements include the
contributions of over 20 million religious people nationwide, including
Buddhist dignitaries, nuns and monks.
Binh highlighted VBS
activities that consist of the popularisation of Buddhism, extending
gratefulness to those who rendered their service to the country and
fallen soldiers, and charity works in recent years. He said he hoped VBS
would continue to consolidate Buddhist organisations at all levels and
conduct practical activities to raise followers and nuns and monks’
awareness of their responsibility to do good deeds for both religion and
the country.
Most Venerable Tu said VBS wishes to continue making more contributions to socio-economic development and poverty reduction./.
