A senior dignitary from the Cao Dai Holy See of Tay Ninh expressed gratitude to the Party and State leaders for their attention and support in enabling it to solemnly organize the festival. This has allowed Cao Dai followers to practice their faith and live a prosperous, happy, and peaceful life.
Over the past year, Cao Dai dignitaries and followers have seriously practiced their religion, acted in compliance with the law, actively joined charity activities, and built a civilized lifestyle in residential areas.
Since the beginning of this year, the church has raised over 28.4 billion VND (1.07 million USD) for social welfare activities.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Doan Trung Kien appreciated dignitaries and followers of all religions in general, and the Cao Dai sect in particular, for strictly adhering to the Party’s guidelines and the State’s laws and policies, and for actively participating in local socio-economic development movements.
