Recently, the Buddhist Association of Huzhou City’s “Zhijiang Wenwen · Respect Frugality and Avoid Luxury” preaching and the 2022 municipal rotation training class for teaching staff have successfully concluded at Shousheng Temple. Master Jie Long, the first vice president of the Huzhou Buddhist Association, Master Chang Jin, the vice president, and Secretary General Ren Yulin attended the closing ceremony.
The Buddhist community in the whole city advocates actively responding to the national religious groups and the Zhejiang Province religious community’s advocacy for frugality and luxury. “Frugality and luxury” is a requirement for the inheritance of Buddhist teachings, a requirement for deepening the sinicization of Buddhism, and a requirement for strict governance of religion and benevolence. The next step is to persist in self-learning, strengthen self-awareness, and implement self-education; Secondly, we must resolutely conduct self-examination, deepen self correction, and implement self-management; We must firmly and consciously abide by the law, strengthen conscious compliance with regulations, and do a good job of self-restraint. The Buddhist community in Huzhou should actively participate in the practical activities of “Seeing Beautiful China in Huzhou” and strive for excellence, in order to accelerate the construction of an ecological civilization model city in Huzhou and contribute more wisdom from the Buddhist community in Huzhou to promote the “Two Pioneers” throughout the province. With a high and upward spirit, we welcome the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Six monks from various districts and counties in Huzhou City gave speeches as representatives of the students, expressing gratitude to the Party and government for their care for the Buddhist staff, as well as to the city and county Buddhist associations and Shousheng Temple for their careful arrangements. They unanimously believe that through this training, they have a deeper understanding of the importance of being a teaching staff member, liberating their minds, constantly learning, updating their knowledge, and keeping up with the times.
