In order to implement the spirit of the national, provincial and municipal religious work conferences, efforts are made to eliminate potential risks and earnestly safeguard harmony and stability in the religious field. On August 3rd, Ding Yi, member of the Standing Committee of Huzhou Xing Wu District Committee and Minister of United Front Work, and his party made a special trip to Donglin Town to investigate the special work of “Danger Removal and Security” in religious activity places.
The research team listened to the reports of the responsible persons of Changzhao Temple, Xinglong Temple, Gion Temple and Huiyan Temple on the prevention and control of epidemic situation and the rectification of hidden dangers of fire-fighting buildings, and made on-the-spot inspections focusing on the standardized management of the exhibits in the places, and put forward opinions and suggestions on further improving the internal management of the places and doing a good job in risk control.
The research team pointed out that there is no small matter in religious work, and the safety of places for religious activities is related to the overall situation of social harmony and stability. Township streets should give full play to their territorial supervision functions, and the heads of religious groups and places should implement the main responsibility of safety, build a safe and stable bottom line with practical actions, and create a good social environment for welcoming the party’s twentieth victory.
The research team stressed that, first, we should enhance our ideological understanding. Religious circles should closely link their own development with the destiny of the country, earnestly enhance their national awareness, civic awareness, and awareness of the rule of law, constantly improve their political discernment and political acumen, always keep a clear head on issues of right and wrong and principles, and truly love their country, love their teaching, and act righteously; Second, we must strengthen risk management and control. Sites for religious activities should improve the internal control system of the site, actively cooperate with the territory to carry out the special work of “danger removal and security”, effectively eliminate the potential risks in epidemic prevention, fire protection, buildings, displays and other aspects of the site, and focus on solving outstanding problems that affect the inheritance of religious health; Third, we must cultivate cultural heritage. The Buddhist community should persist in promoting the China of Buddhism through the infiltration of excellent traditional culture, take the cultural construction of “four famous mountains, famous temples, celebrities and famous schools” as the basis, dig deep into the combination of Buddhism and traditional cultures such as filial piety and Zen tea culture, and convey the excellent Chinese humanistic spirit and traditional virtues to the society through lectures, calligraphy and painting tours, so as to adapt Buddhism to the socialist society.
