On December 18, 2018, the Sangha of Lingyin Temple gathered together at the Huayan Hall to study President Xi Jinping’s speech on the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.

By watching the speech on TV, the resident masters had a thorough knowledge of the development and progress of the Party and the country in the past 40 years, and a profound understanding of the happiness and satisfaction of the people brought by the reform and opening up policy.

It is a good tradition of Chinese Buddhism to love the country and the religion. It is the sincere hope of every Buddhist disciple or believer that our country will be stronger and more and more prosperous. As a common citizen, every Buddhist disciple or believer shoulders the responsibility and obligation to promote the excellent Chinese culture, to spread positive energy, and to make contributions to the socialist political, economic and cultural development of the country.
