Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan and Buddhist followers in Dong Nai province

Meeting with Most Venerable Thich Thanh Tu, Deputy Patriarch of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS)’s Patronage Council, the Vice President wished Buddhist followers in the province a happy and peaceful Vesak day on behalf of the Party, State, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s Central Committee. 

She spoke highly of the Most Venerable’s contribution to the country’s Buddhism, particularly the revival of Truc Lam Zen sect, and expressed her hope that the Most Venerable, dignitaries, and followers will enhance their efforts to strengthen the national solidarity bloc, helping further develop the country.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has become more complicated, monks and nuns in Dong Nai in general and at Thuong Chieu monastery in particular need to raise Buddhist followers’ awareness of COVID-19 prevention work, she said.

The Vice President also asked the VBS’s Dong Nai province chapter to join hands with competent authorities to popularise information about the elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and People’s Councils of all levels for the 2021-2026 tenure.

Representatives from Thuong Chieu monastery thanked the Party, State, and relevant agencies for creating favourable conditions for the monastery’s activities.
