Vietnam Buddhist Sangha 10th National Congress Results
Overview
The Vietnam Buddhist Sangha is marking its 45th anniversary, commemorating the unification of various Buddhist organizations on November 7, 1981. The Sangha recently convened its 10th National Congress in Ho Chi Minh City to establish the 2026 to 2031 term. During the congress, which opened at the Vietnam Buddhist Academy, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man attended to praise the Sangha for its contributions to cultural values, traditional ethics, and national unity. He noted the organization’s role in accompanying the country’s development and participating in social movements.
The assembly included nearly 2,000 delegates representing monks, nuns, and prominent Buddhists from across the country and abroad. During the congress, the Sangha was awarded the First-Class Labor Order, and leadership was finalized for the upcoming term. Notable outcomes include the reappointment of Most Venerable Thich Tri Quang as the Sangha’s Phap Chu. Venerable Thich Thien Nhon was re-elected as the Chairman of the Executive Council of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha and will also serve as the Head of the Central Sangha Affairs Board. Other key leadership appointments include Thich Tri Quang as President of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, Thich Bao Nghiem and Thich Hue Thong as Standing Vice Chairmen of the Executive Council, and Thich Duc Thien as Vice Chairman and General Secretary of the Executive Council.
Guided by the theme “Discipline, Innovation, Effectiveness, and Efficiency,” the Sangha continues to focus on modernizing activities and expanding international diplomatic efforts, including preparations for hosting the 2025 United Nations Vesak Day in Ho Chi Minh City. A significant development during the congress was the approval of the eighth revised Charter.
