Teacher Gai Zhonghui of the Lingshan Foundation's "Neighbor Project" said: Public welfare is a way for a person to practice, so that people become selfless and their practice becomes purer.
In the view of the public welfare self-media people Ling Jian teacher, public welfare is a way to get along with the world. Buddhism has been rooted in the land of China for more than a thousand years, and in this high-speed development society, it should become a fresh force that inspires people to be kind and promote social harmony.
Let us return to the scene of the event and once again feel the profound thinking of many public welfare people on the development of Buddhist charity...
Buddhist Charity and Rural Governance
Rural revitalization is a hot topic in social development in recent years, and through the research and practice of sinification of Buddhism, it has very important practical value to develop social values that meet the requirements of the new era to serve community development and serve rural revitalization.
Chongqing Huayan Temple Abbot Daojian is one of the instructors of this training camp, Daojian Initiated in 2006 to create the Chongqing Huayan Cultural and Educational Foundation, is the first public foundation founded by the monastery in China after the reform and opening up, he is not only a practitioner of Chinese Buddhist charity, but also a witness and thinker.
In the sharing of the theme of "Buddhist Charity and Rural Governance", Master Daojian took the Chongqing Huayan Cultural and Educational Foundation to help the practice of rural revitalization as an example, providing a clear path for everyone.
It is pointed out that in the process of serving the development of the community, the Buddhist Charity Foundation can carry out four aspects: effectively carrying out soothing psychology, innovating and inheriting excellent culture, coordinating service to community governance, and actively helping industrial development.
Laws and regulations related to the development of Buddhist charity
Wang Yanbin is a lawyer at Beijing Zhicheng Law Firm, a researcher at the Zhongzhi Social Development Promotion Center and the Beijing Zhicheng Social Organization Conflict Mediation and Research Center.
Focusing on the "relevant laws and regulations on the development of Buddhist philanthropy", Professor Wang Yanbin provided professional interpretations on specific issues such as "how to grasp the principles of religious participation in philanthropy", "the role played by charitable organizations in China", "obstacles faced by charitable organizations in high-quality development", "precautions for religious participation in charitable activities", "requirements for charitable charitable activities", "guarantees and loans of charitable organizations" and "asset management of charitable organizations", and analyzed the misunderstandings that the development of Buddhist philanthropy is easy to step into.
Asset management of charitable organizations
Yin Zhi, MBA of Fudan University, director of Shanghai Jinbailin, expert in financial and business thinking cultivation and investor education, has 20 years of management experience in the financial field.
Focusing on "The Reference of the Global Endowment Fund Asset Management Model to Chinese Foundations" and using examples of foreign wealth management models, Professor Yin Zhi confirmed that the purpose of endowment funds is to achieve "intergenerational fairness" and ensure that each generation can enjoy the support of endowment funds equally.
In addition, from the analysis of the differences between Chinese and American charitable donations and endowment fund policies, the influencing factors of endowment fund performance, and investment factors, Yin Zhi made suggestions for the fund management of domestic charitable organizations.
Financial management of charitable organizations
Yang Yibing, the financial director of the financial management department of Lingshan Charity Foundation, has great experience in the wealth management of charitable organizations.
Teacher Yang Yibing made a specific analysis of the issues of "identification of charitable organizations", "tax incentives for non-profit organizations", "financial management of charitable organizations", "audits of charitable organizations" that participants were concerned about, and shared the basis for the practice of financial workers of charitable organizations and related approval processes from the perspective of legal compliance.
DAF in China: Next Door Program
More than 100 years ago, DAFs appeared in the United States, allowing "well-wishers" to do something "big" through strategic donations in the name of individuals/families.
Today, China is also constantly exploring the road of DAF...
Han Ting, Executive Director of Beijing Shunyi Consulting, Master of Project Management from Peking University, Project Leader of Shunyi Consulting Donor Proposal Fund (DAF), is also the first group of people in China to explore the DAF model.
Wang Wen, Chairman of Lingshan Charity Foundation, Secretary-General of China Lingshan Charity Promotion Association, a daf in China, originated from the birth of a pair of his children, grew up from the unremitting progress of him and a group of people...
Teacher Han Ting and Chairman Wang Wen started from the origin of DAF in foreign countries and systematically introduced the development process of DAF. On the "Difference between DAF Model and Special Fund", from the perspective of setting the original intention and operation mode, it is analyzed in detail, and one of the examples of Chinese DAFs - the Neighbor Plan is introduced.
Next door
"Next Door Project" is a public welfare program designed by Lingshan Charity Foundation based on Chinese's belief in family and clan inheritance, following the behavior logic of DAF and its attitude toward wealth.
As of March 31, 2021, there were 349 funds and 189 projects in the neighborhood, with a total of 34339385.99 yuan and a total project fundraising of 10452937.81, a total of 44792323.8 yuan.
Warm the world, with family:
From the road under your feet, your eyes are in the distance.
Start small, to achieve an unexpected great deed,
From the present, let love run through the past and future of the family...
The DAF of the public welfare community, China's "neighbor", has such a charm...
Philanthropy and big data
With the rapid development of the Internet, the era of "big data" has arrived, existing in all walks of life. But judging from the current situation of charitable foundations, it seems that many organizations have a certain distance from big data.
Zhu Jianbo, Vice Chairman of Wuxi Network Public Welfare Development Promotion Association, CTO of Wuxi Fearless Mutual Aid Technology Co., Ltd., Founder of Plan E Public Welfare
Teacher Zhu Jianbo focused on "Charity and Big Data" and "The Connotation of Big Data"
Specific interpretations were made of issues such as "big data collection methods" and "the combination point of big data and charity". He believes that in the future society, whether individuals like it or not, will live in a sea of data. In the field of philanthropy, the use of big data will also be ubiquitous, and it will have a great role in promoting the development of charitable practitioners and charities, which is a development opportunity that Buddhist institutions need to seize in a timely manner.
From media people to public welfare people
Cui Mingchen, Editor-in-Chief of Buddhism, Senior Media Personality and Public Welfare Person. He has gone deep into the frontline of the disaster area many times, not only as a media person to report in real time, but also with the personal assistance of public welfare people.
As one of the sharing guests of this conference, Professor Cui Mingchen analyzed "how to do a good job in brand building for Buddhist public welfare" from the perspective of media communication, and corrected the biased understanding of most people in the past in charity publicity.
"In practice, we must not only rely on chanting, but also have endless compassion. Charity can not only rely on selling misery, but also give people temperature and wisdom. We want to let the Buddhist concept of charity enter the mass media, we want to change from the publisher of public welfare activities to the practitioner, with every penny raised, every step forward, to taste what is selfless and selfless selfless generosity, and then to promote good thoughts, good deeds, and good deeds through our platform, so that a group of people can find the way. ”
——Cui Mingchen
The above is a quote from Teacher Cui Mingchen, as a media person, Teacher Lingjian has a strong resonance for this: fundraising is not the purpose, materials are not the end, the ultimate meaning of charity is by no means more than helping the poor and the poor, when people's hearts are moistened by the spirit of kindness and kindness, the promotion of public welfare, naturally. The avenue is just, and all sentient beings are beneficial.
Buddhist Public Welfare Project Design: Sangha Healing
Han Yuqin, Deputy Director of the Strategic Cooperation and Development Department of lingshan charity foundation, is also the main person in charge of the "Sangha Medical Care" project, and she has more understanding and thinking about the design of buddhist-based public welfare projects.
Teacher Han Yuqin took the "Sangha Medical Care" program of Lingshan Charity Foundation as an example and shared on "Project Origin", "Project Planning and Design", "Project Execution and Management" and so on.
On how to better design Buddhist-type public welfare projects, she answered from a full-cycle perspective and intervention measures, providing a clear path for the design of Buddhist public welfare projects.
Red dust is like a dream, only compassion does not dare to forget, I hope that this training camp will build a bridge that combines faith and public welfare, so that more and more people can feel the goodness of people's hearts, the warmth of society, and the beauty of the world. #Buddhism##Buddhism Charity ##慈善 #
