The whole district currently has over 2,000 Buddhists who have taken refuge and regularly participate in pagodas. Buddhist followers in the district strictly follow the policies of the Party and the laws of the State, and fully perform their civic duties. The annual Buddhist programs of the pagodas are registered with the People's Committee of the commune and competent authorities, and the program content is in accordance with the provisions of the law and the church. The pagodas do a good job of humanitarian and charitable work. The situation of Buddhist activities in the district is always closely led and directed by the District Party Committee and the People's Committee.

In addition, specialized departments have deployed central, provincial and district documents on religious work and land law for monks and Buddhists, so in recent years there have been no violations related to land. The phenomenon of illegal preaching and proselytizing ensures political security and social order and safety in the district.

Announcing the inspection conclusion, comrade Nguyen Van Long - Deputy Head of the Religious Affairs Department - Provincial Department of Home Affairs highly appreciated the results that Quynh Luu district Buddhism has achieved in the past time, contributing to the overall socio-economic victory of the province. Charitable activities are regularly organized and Buddhist monks and nuns always implement the motto "Dharma - Nation - Socialism". In the coming time, the abbots are required to continue to coordinate with local authorities to mobilize Buddhists to "live a good life and practice religion", participate in movements "all people unite to build a cultural life in residential areas", humanitarian and charitable activities, and well implement the policies of the Party, the State and the ordinance on religious beliefs.
