Aug.20,2018--“Today, August 15, is a special day. I believe everyone knows that it is the anniversary of Japan’s unconditional surrender 73 years ago. Peace was hard-earned, and 35 million compatriots sacrificed themselves for it.” Panchen Lama Erdoni Choekyi Gyalpo, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and vice-president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, made the above remarks on August 15 when he was in Lhoka, Tibet, conducting surveys and research as well as Buddhist activities.
At the local welcoming ceremony, the 11th Panchen Lama said that we are lucky to live in a great era, and the Party has created a great history with the people.. However, this blessing still requires each citizen of all ethnic groups and backgrounds to contribute their wisdom and efforts.
Aug.20,2018--The 11th Panchen Lama delivers a speech.
The 11th Panchen Lama said that Tibet must continue to contribute to this blessing. Tibetans must love the Party and the nation, uphold ethnic unity, and promote social harmony and stability. If someone does not contribute to the harmony and stability of the society, he is not qualified to enjoy the fruits of stable development. All the happiness and beauty that Chinese people enjoy today are the results of the efforts of ancestors. In future, people from all backgrounds should jointly contribute to the development and progress of the society, plant good seeds, and make their own efforts for a better future, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and Party committees and governments at all levels, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. |
