News from this newspaper (Reporter Lu Wei) On September 8, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference went to the Buddhist Academy of China for study and research. Wang Huning, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, attended the meeting.
Members of the Chairman’s Meeting visited the exhibition of historical materials of the Buddhist College of China, learned about the classroom teaching and library collection of the Buddhist College, and listened to the introduction of the academic research results of the Buddhist College.
After the visit, members of the Chairman's Meeting held discussions and exchanges with members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and responsible comrades from the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the Buddhist Association of China, and the Buddhist Academy of China who participated in the study and survey. Everyone agreed that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to religious work and proposed a series of new concepts and measures on religious work to promote positive results in religious work in the new era.
Everyone expressed the need to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on religious work, comprehensively implement the party’s theories, principles and policies on religious work in the new era, and unite the majority of religious believers around the party and the government. It is necessary to further promote the Sinicization of our country's religions, adhere to the guidance of the core socialist values, promote the integration of our country's religions with China's excellent traditional culture, and adapt to the socialist society, guide religious figures and religious believers to strengthen their identification with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics, and consciously devote themselves to Chinese-style modernization. It is necessary to uphold and develop socialist religious theory with Chinese characteristics, strengthen the construction of Marxist religious studies, run religious schools well, carry out publicity and education to build a strong sense of the Chinese nation's community, and cultivate qualified religious talents. It is necessary to strengthen the governance of religious affairs in accordance with the law, support religious groups in strengthening their own construction, and promote comprehensive and strict governance of religions. The majority of CPPCC members, especially those from the religious and ethnic minority circles, must conduct in-depth research and put forward suggestions on important issues such as promoting the sinicization of religion in my country and improving the legalization of religious work, so as to play a greater role in promoting religious harmony, ethnic harmony, and social harmony.
Li Ganjie, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, and Hu Chunhua, Wang Yong, Battelle, Su Hui, Mu Hong, Wang Guangqian, vice-chairmen of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, etc. participated in the study and investigation.
Relevant responsible comrades from the General Office and special committees of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference attended.
