Enhance role and reputation
At the corner of the street near Ngo Quyen Primary School (Phu Trung block, An Phu ward, Tam Ky city), in the past, some people had the habit of littering illegally, causing unsightliness and environmental pollution. Thanks to the cooperation from many sides, including Buddhist dignitaries and followers in the area, up to now, this environmental "black spot" has gradually been eliminated.
Mr. Le Thai Binh - Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Quang Nam province said that in the process of building and developing the homeland, religious organizations in general and Buddhism in particular have accompanied the Vietnam Fatherland Front of the province, together cultivating the great solidarity bloc of the people in the province to become stronger and stronger.
This is clearly demonstrated through the process of responding to and implementing patriotic emulation campaigns and movements initiated by the Fatherland Front at all levels.
The solidarity and close bond between religious and non-religious people; between religious organizations and people of all walks of life have contributed to the successful implementation of the Party's guidelines and policies in each locality and each residential area...
Quang Huong Pagoda is a Buddhist facility located on Phu Trung block, presided over by Venerable Thich Tinh Tri. In June 2024, representatives of Quang Huong Pagoda, along with 60 Buddhist followers and residents of Phu Trung block, attended the launching ceremony of the model "Religion participates in protecting a green, clean, and beautiful environment" launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Phu ward.
After the launch, dignitaries, followers and people mobilized to clean up and remove environmental “black spots” on some roads. On the full moon and first day of the lunar month, many followers came to the pagoda to pay homage. Venerable Thich Tinh Tri reminded everyone to respond to the model launched by the Ward Front, thereby raising awareness of environmental protection; classifying and disposing of garbage in the right place...
Venerable Thich Tinh Tri believes that accompanying local movements and activities is the responsibility of Buddhist dignitaries and followers. This is in Buddhist teachings.
"With their role and prestige with the followers, the participation and companionship of dignitaries will contribute to making local policies more effective," said Venerable Thich Tinh Tri.
Mr. Le Minh Hai - Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Phu Ward said that the model "Religion participates in protecting the green, clean and beautiful environment" was launched by the Ward Front from August 1, 2023; up to now, both Buddhist establishments in the ward have responded to the model.
According to Mr. Hai, before the model was launched, people and Buddhists did not have the habit of sorting waste at the source. Through guidance and propaganda, now along the roads with religious facilities, there are no more garbage jams and no environmental black spots.
“Buddhists and Buddhist dignitaries also actively participate in humanitarian and charitable activities to help poor households and households in difficult circumstances. Thereby contributing to reducing the poverty rate to less than 1%, exceeding the target set by the Resolution of the Ward Party Congress…” - Mr. Hai shared.
