2022-06-30

On June 22, La Xianjia, deputy director and associate researcher of the Religious Research Institute of the China Tibetan Studies Research Center, said at the news teahouse with the theme of "the development and changes of Tibet in the new era" held by the China Journalists' Association online, in combination with his years of research experience and knowledge, that Tibet in the new era upholds the direction of Chinese religion, Tibetan Buddhism has been inherited healthily, and religious culture has been respected and protected, The broad masses' freedom of religious belief has been fully guaranteed. Lashanga believes that the evaluation of the current situation of Tibetan Buddhism in China should start from three elements: temples, monks and nuns, and believers. He said that at present, China has more than 3800 Tibetan Buddhist temples and 160000 monks and nuns, including more than 1700 Living Buddhas. "Over the past 10 years, the party and the government have included temples in their poverty alleviation and rural revitalization plans. The temples have access to electricity, roads and water, and the infrastructure has been greatly improved, making it convenient for monks, nuns and believers. At the same time, temples are also important sites for cultural relics protection, and the party and the government have invested a lot in the protection of cultural relics of temples." The religious needs of religious believers need to be met by clergy. "At present, there are more than 160000 Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns in China, which can fully meet the religious needs of religious believers." Lashenga said, "Moreover, with the development of China's economy and society, the living conditions of monks and nuns have improved dramatically, and the furnishings, conditions and basic living facilities in the monasteries have kept up with the times. It is particularly noteworthy that the channels and ways for monks and nuns to learn scriptures and carry out religious activities have also become diversified. In the past, monks and nuns could only learn scriptures in monasteries. In recent years, China's Tibetan language department's advanced Buddhist colleges and provincial Buddhist colleges have flourished, making monks and nuns The choice and channels of learning scriptures have increased, and the exchanges among various sects of Tibetan Buddhism have also been promoted. " Lashenga believes that freedom of religious belief is not a problem in Tibet or elsewhere. He talked about his hometown, guide County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, "In the experience of growing up in my hometown, I can feel the full protection and full display of the freedom of religious belief everywhere. Both my parents believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and I also have relatives who work as monks in monasteries. Similarly, if I have lived, investigated and traveled in Tibet, I will find that Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet is rich in activities and content, and constantly adapt to the society and the current era, and constantly adjust and constantly adjust in the process of adaptation The healthy inheritance of the land. " As an ancient religion, lashenga believes that Tibetan Buddhism also has some conditions that are incompatible with the times or society. He said that at present, China advocates actively guiding religion to adapt to the socialist society and actively promoting the Sinicization of Tibetan Buddhism, and is helping Tibetan Buddhism to continuously improve some problems encountered in its development. "For example, when spreading doctrines to believers, we should pay attention to the positive factors on the secular level; we should further standardize and manage the Tibetan Buddhist living Buddha groups, so that they can truly become the backbone of the healthy inheritance of Tibetan Buddhism."
