On August 20, 2017, the Keo Pagoda Merit
Gathering Association in Thai Binh solemnly held the conference to review the Buddhist
activities for the 2015-2017 term and to set the direction for Buddhist
activities for the 2017-2022 term. At the same time, the newly elected
Executive Board was introduced, and its work was implemented.
The conference was honored to have the presence
of Venerable Thich Thanh Quang, the abbot of Keo Pagoda, who provided guidance
and oversight for the event. The conference also saw the participation of
numerous members of the Merit Gathering Association.
During the 2015-2017 term, under the guidance
of Venerable Thich Thanh Quang and the leadership of the Executive Board, the
association achieved significant success in various areas such as social
charity work, Dharma propagation, and cultural activities. To acknowledge and
celebrate these achievements, the conference awarded certificates of
recognition to individuals who made positive contributions to the association's
activities.
To further develop and improve Buddhist
activities in the 2017-2022 term, the conference participants shared valuable
insights through discussions on topics such as "Promoting the Spirit of
Unity Among Buddhist Practitioners" and "Service to the Faithful and
the Community."
After several hours of discussion and work,
the conference successfully approved the list of members for the Executive
Board of the 2017-2022 term. The conference concluded successfully, laying the
foundation for members to continue striving for the Buddhist activities of the
association in the new term.
