The eighth batch of materials from Guangzhou Buddhist Association rushed to Hong Kong to fight the epidemic from Guangzhou to Hong Kong on the 10th. As of the same day, under the guidance of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of nationalities and religions, Guangzhou Buddhist Association has raised about 1.8 million yuan of various epidemic prevention drugs, anti epidemic materials and funds, of which 1.4 million yuan of materials have been sent to Hong Kong compatriots through the cooperation of the Buddhist circles in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. During the fifth wave novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in Hongkong, all religious sites in Hong Kong were temporarily closed, and various Buddhist activities were suspended. The services provided by temples, Buddhist institutions, youth centers, camps and elderly centers in Hongkong were very limited. After getting in touch with the Buddhist community in Hong Kong and mastering each other's practical difficulties and the urgent needs for epidemic prevention drugs and materials, the Guangzhou Buddhist Association proposed that the Buddhist community in Guangzhou join hands to support the fight against the epidemic in Hong Kong. The temples and nunneries in Guangzhou responded positively. Together with the Guangzhou Buddhist Association, they set up a special working class, assigned special personnel to be responsible for the coordination and communication of AIDS and anti epidemic work in Hong Kong, and urgently purchased a batch of anti epidemic materials and anti epidemic drugs such as Xinguan test kits and masks. "We are closely connected with our compatriots in Hong Kong. The severe epidemic in Hong Kong affects the hearts of every Chinese." Master Yao Zhi, President of Guangzhou Buddhist Association and Abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, said in an interview that Guangzhou and Hong Kong Buddhism have the same root, the same origin, the same lineage of Dharma and frequent exchanges. The Buddha is responsible for supporting the fight against the epidemic. "We in the Buddhist circles in Guangzhou, with a deep sense of treating others as ourselves, mobilized four disciples to make every effort to donate money and materials for the fight against the epidemic in Hong Kong, hoping to provide support for Hong Kong compatriots through meager assistance." Dharma Master, executive vice president of Guangzhou Buddhist Association and Abbot of Liurong temple, said that recently, the epidemic prevention and control in Hong Kong is tense. It is of great significance to transport drugs and materials to Hong Kong as soon as possible to support the fight against the epidemic and save people. As of the 10th, the Guangzhou Buddhist Association has provided much-needed anti epidemic assistance to the Hong Kong Buddhist Federation, Zhilian Jingyuan, Lingyun temple, Hong Kong Island women's Federation and Buddhist charity foundation. The Hong Kong Buddhist community's love relay, facing the grass-roots level, has benefited more than 50 Hong Kong Buddhist monasteries, fine houses, Buddhist colleges and homes for the elderly, helped nearly 400 mages, 8 schools, and a large number of people in high-risk industries, such as anti epidemic taxi drivers, cleaners, security personnel and families in need. The relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Buddhist Association said that the person in charge of the Hong Kong Buddhist community thanked the Guangzhou Buddhist Association for calling and sending a letter, expressing gratitude to the Guangzhou Buddhist community for helping out at the critical moment of the epidemic in Hong Kong and overcoming the difficulties.
