This image captures a large informational poster or display board. The board features a decorative border and is divided into a main text section on the left and several smaller photographs with captions on the right. The prominent title of the main text reads "拥党爱国, 是佛教中国化的基本原则" (Embracing the Party and Loving the Country, is the Basic Principle of the Sinicization of Buddhism). The text outlines the Guangzhou Buddhist community's adherence to the Chinese Communist Party's leadership and its policy of "Sinicizing Buddhism." It emphasizes "patriotism and love for religion" as a core tradition, advocating for aligning Buddhist practices with "socialist core values" and promoting "patriotism, loving the Party, and loving socialism" education. The content references Party congresses, Xi Jinping's speeches, and laws like the "Patriotic Education Law," detailing efforts such as establishing "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" reading corners and reinterpreting Buddhist doctrines through a socialist lens. The overall goal is to foster patriotic education bases and advance the Sinicization of Buddhism in Guangzhou. Accompanying the text are five photographs illustrating these activities: 1. **Top right:** Monks participate in an outdoor flag-raising ceremony, with some holding the Chinese national flag, against the backdrop of traditional architecture. The caption notes this is a regular activity "since 2018." 2. **Second from top right:** A red banner or poster is displayed on a wall, promoting the "Four Entries" (四进) activities by Guangzhou Buddhist circles, also stated as regularly held "since 2018." 3. **Middle right:** An indoor scene shows many people, including monks, seated in a conference-style room, engaged in a study session. The caption indicates a study of the spirit of the 20th Party Congress on "November 20, 2023." 4. **Bottom left:** An indoor setting, possibly a library or reading room, with shelves filled with books. A red banner overhead designates it as a "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era reading corner." 5. **Bottom right:** Several monks and other individuals are seated around a large table, with books open, appearing to be in a discussion or study group. The caption identifies this as "Thematic education on studying Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era." The poster is a clear directive and report on the integration of political ideology, specifically that of the Chinese Communist Party, into Buddhist religious practice and education in Guangzhou.
