The Religious Sub-forum of BFA 2024 to Feature the First Roundtable Thought Event

At the media meeting on 28th March, The Chinese Buddhist community, led by YIN SHUN, Head of the Youth Division of China Committee on Religion and Peace (CCRP), Vice President of the Buddhist Association of China, and President of the Buddhist Association of Hainan Province, has played a pivotal role in strengthening the bonds between China and Cambodia. At the media conference, YIN SHUN highlighted the remarkable achievements of the past years. The Buddhist Association of China has proudly hosted eight Boao Religious Sub-Forums, eight South China Sea Buddhist Roundtables, and the "Overseas Spreading and Influence of Chinese Chan Culture - Dahongshan Forum".

Additionally, for a decade, the organization has organized the cross-border public interest initiative known as the "Silk Road Charity and Brightness Action Tour", providing cost-free surgical treatment to tens of thousands of cataract patients in multiple countries.

Meanwhile the Buddhist Association of China has recruited apprentice monks from various countries to pursue advanced studies at the Nanhai Buddhist Academy, and presided over the compilation of the first and most innovative digital edition of the Dictionary of Chinese Buddhism, among other endeavors. These achievements underscore the efforts and contributions made by the religious community to engage into the process of Chinese-style modernization, promoting the sinicization of religions, and fostering consensus for the construction of the Free Trade Port. They also demonstrate that only a sinicized Buddhism can better serve Chinese-style modernization.

Since its inception in 2015, the religious sub-forum of BFA has completed eight sessions, attracting a distinctive lineup of esteemed guests representing many of the world's religions, Nobel laureates, nationally recognized scholars, and leading journalists. These individuals, representing countries from the East and West, have converged to foster meaningful exchanges and mutual understanding on the topic of the world's major religions and civilizations, contributing to global peace, prosperity, and the advancement of a shared future for mankind.
