In an effort to advance Buddhist education between Viet-Lao communities

27th September 2022 post by MOIT Vietnam

The highest level of adoration and admiration that one might possibly have for another person, Vietnam Buddhist Sangha (VBS) Executive Council Chairman Thich Thien Nhon traveled to Laos on an official business trip. 

While there, he had the opportunity to meet with the Most Venerable Bounma Simavong, who serves as the President of the Lao Buddhist Coalition. This gathering took place in the city of Vientiane, which is the capital and largest city of the country of Laos. This conference was created because it was vital for Thich Thien Nhon to meet his professional responsibilities while he was in Laos; as a result, this conference was arranged to accommodate to the needs of those professional engagements.

Nhon put a great deal of emphasis on the part that the VBS plays in both the relationship that they have with the Lao Buddhist Coalition and the work that they carry out together in collaboration. He said that this is because the VBS plays such an important role in both of these aspects. He accomplished this by placing a significant amount of stress on the word "important" throughout the conversation.

In addition, he advocated for increased communication and collaboration between the Buddhist Sanghas of the two countries in an effort to bring happiness to the people of both countries and to contribute to the establishment of a more peaceful global community. This was done in an effort to bring happiness to the people of both countries. This was done with the hope that it would offer joy to the people in both nations. This was done in the belief that it would bring happiness to the people of both countries, and we hope that it does. We did this in the hope that it would make the people of both nations happy, and we continue to hold out that hope even now that it has been done. This course of action was carried out with the purpose of bringing joy to the people in both countries, which was the objective of carrying it out in the first place. Most Venerable Thich Thien Nhon stated that during its last mandate, the VBS has raised billions of Dong for social and philanthropic causes.

Nhon has made the comment that the two parties need to continue to increase the exchange of delegates in order to generate greater unity and harmony among the laypeople, teach the friendly customs, and establish a particular brotherhood between Buddhist communities and their people. [There must be other citations for this] According to Nhon, the two factions that were contending with one another in order to promote a stronger sense of unity and harmony among the monks, it was necessary for them to keep working toward expanding the flow of delegates between themselves.

He placed a strong emphasis on the need of fostering extensive collaboration in Buddhist teaching and research at all levels, including undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels of education. Through particular, he suggested that this activity be carried out in educational institutions such as universities. He stated this idea in a number of different ways during the conversation. In particular, he highlighted how important it was to carry out these activities in order to satiate the need that had been expressed before. He said this to drive the point home.

Bounma, for his part, advocated for increasing the degree of collaboration between Laos and Vietnam in order to meet the great affinity between the two Parties, States, and people of Laos and Vietnam, as established by the bilateral cooperation agreements signed in 2005 and 2018. This was done in order to meet the great affinity between the two Parties, States, and people of Laos and Vietnam. This was done in order to accommodate the significant degree of congruence that exists between the two Parties, States, and Populations of Laos and Vietnam. This was done in order to accommodate the substantial degree of congruence that exists between the Parties, States, and Populations of Laos and Vietnam. This congruence was taken into account when this action was taken. The first time these accords were officially ratified was in 2005, and then again in 2018, respectively. Laos in 2005 and Vietnam in 2018 both performed the role of host country for the treaty signing ceremonies that took place in their respective countries. These events were conducted in 2005 and 2018 respectively.
