Plentiful and diversified life of religion in Vietnam
12/5/14
Exchanging on the sideline of the opening of The 11th UN Day of Vesak Celebrations, Venerable Professor Dr. Phra
Prahamapundit ( from Thailand),
founding President of the international
Council for UN Vesak Day highly appreciated the diversity of belief and religion
in Vietnam
with the strong development of Buddhism.
This is the second time the UN chose Vietnam
as host nation of The 11th UN Day
of Vesak Celebrations because of the initiative and zealousness of Vietnam
beside successful result of Vesak 2008 was also held by Vietnam which made good impressions about the
country, people and religious life in Vietnam. Moreover, Buddhism has flourished
not only in Vietnam
but also kept a positive role in economic life and society. As Vietnamese
delegates emphasized that Buddhists monks and Buddhist Church of Vietnam with more
than 30 years of maturity has contributed significantly to the realization of UN
millennium development goals for a good life, good religion. .
The theme for this year Vesak in Vietnam more affirmed meaningful
motto of Buddhism in general and Vietnamese Buddhism in particular. Vietnam
is one of the best countries to implement the goals of the UN Millennium. Among
eight goals Vietnam has successfully
implemented five ones and are striving to achieve three remaining goals with a
positive outlook .
Vietnamese Buddhism are traditionally established and longstanding
developments. In the exchange, Venerable Professor Dr. Phra Prahamapundit said
that he has gone to Vietnam
many times and he felt that Vietnam
has a plentiful and diversified life of religion with with the rapid development
of Buddhism in general as well as other religions in particular. All were
clearly expressed through religious infrastructure built quickly that he could
observe over the 3 times to Vietnam
about a year ago. The Catholics in Vietnam are free to practice.
Vesak 2008 and 2014 are clear proofs show abundant growth of Buddhism in Vietnam.
Through the Panorama photos of art exhibition of Buddhist in Vietnam, everybody could admire the
image of Vietnamese temples with characteristic architecture features. Besides,
the contemporary paintings of the famous painters about Buddhism vividly
reflected the spiritual and cultural life as well as the role of Buddhism in Vietnam
society.
All those who think that the UN Day of Vesak aimed at “sprucing up” human
rights and religious freedom issues in Vietnam should reconsider because
Buddhism does not distinguish between religion and different political opinions
but all geared to encourage harmony and avoid confrontation as well as the
enhancement of human and collaboration. The opinions were deduced from a
leading critical event of Buddhism with such political issues are not
acceptable.
