VFF leader's congratulation on Buddha’s birthday 2017
VOV.VN - The President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front on Friday sent a letter of congratulations to the Vietnam Buddhist dignitaries and its followers at home and abroad on Buddha’s 2561st birthday.
In his letter, Nhan said this year’s Lord Buddha birth anniversary came at a time when Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) chapters nationwide are holding congresses towards the VBS’s eighth national congress for the 2017-2022 tenure.
The VFF leader applauded the achievements the VBS recorded over the past years, such as joining the election of deputies to the 14th NA and the People’s Councils at all levels for the 2016-2021 tenure, successfully holding a grand ceremony celebrating the 35th founding anniversary of the VBS, and contributing to the national patriotic emulation campaigns involving new rural development, social welfare activities, environment protection and climate change response, among others.
They will respond positively to campaigns to unite people in developing rural areas and civilized urban areas, prioritizing use of made-in-Vietnam goods, protecting the environment, adapting to climate change, and increasing social support, Nhan said.
He expressed his belief that Buddhist dignitaries, monks, nuns, and all other followers will ceaselessly uphold the fine traditions of Buddhism.
