Editor’s note:Since Indian Buddhism was introduced into China, it has experienced more than 2,000 years of China inheritance and development, forming a unique China Buddhism with China characteristics. China has thus become a veritable second hometown of Buddhism. The China of Buddhism is a comprehensive, three-dimensional, deep and all-round China. What are the main aspects? Phoenix. com’s specially planned topic "A Talk on the China Buddhism in the New Era" expounds the inheritance and development of Buddhism in China from the aspects of Buddhist philosophy, Buddhist system, Buddhist art, Buddhist education and Buddhist life. This article is an article entitled "The Present Situation and Prospect of Modern Sangha Education" published by Master Zheng Ci, Vice President of the Chinese Buddhist Association, in the journal of Buddhist Studies in 2009. Through the investigation of the present situation of modern Sangha education, it is particularly important to explore a new way of being a monk who conforms to the current trend of the times, adapts to the beliefs of all beings and can inherit the Buddhist system. The following is the full text:

It has been more than 2,000 years since Buddhism was introduced into China and the historical process of China was completed. The great Buddha taught people in a convenient and skillful way, leaving us with very valuable educational content and experience. In the long river of history, the ancestors of the past dynasties have developed an education system adapted to different social forms and established their own perfect learning order, making Buddhism an important part of Chinese traditional culture and education, which requires us to inherit and carry forward. However, the modern Sangha education in Chinese mainland in the 21st century seems to highlight two contradictory facts that need to be recognized. First, the contradiction between outstanding monks and the growing demand for Buddhism. The second is the contradiction between the actual demand and the outstanding monks. Since the reform and opening up in Chinese mainland, under the guidance of the policy of religious freedom and belief, Buddhist Dojo has been restored one after another in various places, and the training of monks has been gradually carried out. However, due to the outdated school-running model, the emphasis on learning and teaching has not been implemented, and the teaching concept, educational methods, teaching staff and even curriculum arrangement have not met the requirements of the present era. Although there are dozens of Buddhist colleges in China, there are still few talented monks who can really keep pace with the times, lead the public and inherit our Buddhist system. These are in sharp contrast to Taiwan Province, where there are many temples, many residents and many letters. Therefore, through the investigation of the present situation of modern Sangha education, this paper explores a way that conforms to the trend of the times, adapts to the beliefs of all beings, and can inherit the Buddhist system.It can be called a new way for monks and talents, which is especially important.

The Present Situation of Modern Sangha Education

As we all know, Buddhism in Chinese mainland experienced unprecedented disasters in the 1960s and 1970s, and was reborn in the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee. In the early 1980s, with the efforts of Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and other great predecessors, China Buddhist College and Buddhist Colleges in various provinces and cities resumed their operations one after another, laying a solid foundation for the inheritance and development of Buddhism in China. In particular, China Buddhist College offers preparatory, undergraduate and postgraduate classes, making it the highest institution of Buddhism in the Chinese Language Department. During this period, a large number of graduate monks were trained, and outstanding graduates were sent to universities and research institutions of Buddhist colleges in Japan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Britain for further study. It can be said that the Buddhist education in Chinese mainland has initially formed a Buddhist education system with three major language families, namely, high school, middle school and junior high school, which are connected with each other, and each has its own emphasis. Many graduated monks quickly filled the gap between Buddhism in China and became the leading backbone of national and local Buddhist associations, Buddhist research institutions and famous temples. However, behind the seemingly prosperous cultivation of sangha, in fact, it can really integrate into the society and follow all sentient beings, such as the law, but there are only a few monks who are responsible. Many school-running institutions will set up colleges just to keep up appearances, while learning monks is to get diplomas and qualifications, and to raise flags for sitting on the mountain. Therefore, it is worth pondering where Buddhism in China will go.

Zhao Puchu, an old Buddhist, once shouted: "The top priority of Buddhism in China is to cultivate talents first, secondly and thirdly.". Master Sheng Yan of Taiwan Province said, "Without education today, there will be no Buddhism tomorrow". Many people have quoted and understood the words of the two great virtues, but there is no shortage of talents to build temples and establish temples in Chinese mainland. What is lacking is talents who are knowledgeable and morally convinced. Many monasteries have been fighting for land and water for a long time, worshipping the undead, making them filthy, vulgar and confusing people, and even cheating people. Some Millennium Buddhist Dojo is decadent and deserted, and no one cares.

Secondly, the real status quo of some Buddhist institutions is that they don’t talk about teaching, are small but incomplete, are numerous but not refined, have scattered resources, are self-enclosed, have a narrow education system, are ineffective in teachers’ training, and have a lax academic system. In the history of Buddhism in China, there are three modes of education: giving lectures in translation field, training in jungle and professional colleges. If "giving lectures in translation field" solved the spread of Indian Buddhism to China, completed the process of "quasi-China" and maintained its subjectivity; Then, the value orientation of "jungle fumigation" is to educate all living beings to become Buddhists and ancestors, highlighting the character and practice of Buddhism itself; And "college-style education" is a combination of jungle education and western education created in response to the challenges of western culture and religion. More than a hundred years have passed, and today’s Buddhist education has made remarkable progress, but in the guiding ideology and teaching management of Buddhist education, the relationship between learning and practice has not been solved well. Although some monks entered the Buddhist College for further study, due to the lack of practice, their beliefs were weakened, their precepts were relaxed, their minds turned back, they did not study hard, and even after graduating from the Buddhist College, they lacked confidence and pride as mentors. In the aim and direction of running a school, the Buddhist College adopts a "uniform" all-round teaching, which imitates the academic system of secular schools and the treatment of teachers and students, while the focus of Buddhist education is to cultivate self-confidence, self-esteem, self-respect and otherworldly monks. Therefore, the existing teaching model is difficult to promote the promotion of monks and the completion of their personality. At the same time, due to the complexity of Buddhism itself and the starting point of knowledge of monks themselves, it is difficult for the trained monks to be independent. Finally,Monks seem to have graduated, but it is still difficult to adapt to temple management and Buddhist teaching, not to mention the demand for modern high-quality talents such as Buddhist exchanges and international activities in three language families. China’s Buddhist cause is in an unprecedented era of extraordinary karma. On the key issue related to the rise and fall of the Buddhist cause, it is necessary to reform around inheritance and innovation.

The Prospect of Modern Sangha Education

"On the side of the sinking boat, Qian Fan passed, and there were thousands of sick trees in Wan Muchun". Talent is the foundation of rejuvenation, and the important task of establishing people-oriented thinking and cultivating a contingent of monks and talents in China facing the 21st century has historically fallen on our generation. In the face of the current situation that many monks have low educational level, outdated teaching mode and high-quality monks, we should not only inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of respecting the scriptures, but also carry out bold reforms in the spirit of Mahayana Buddhism, which actively joins the WTO.

The author believes that modern Sangha education should grasp the following aspects:

(A) in education, we should pay attention to the importance of personnel training.

The Buddhist community should focus on cultivating talents from the current focus on building temples and statues, and design plans and create conditions for the growth of qualified Buddhist talents. At the same time, we should make comprehensive use of Buddhist educational resources, improve the scale and taste of running schools, enhance the monk character of post-scholars, complete the personality of the majority of Buddhists, and construct a talent training pattern that meets the requirements of the times and combines Buddhist college education with temple education and social universities.

(B) in the educational concept, we should highlight the practical significance of practice.

Although the banner of human Buddhism has been flying in the long river of history for nearly a century, its promotion is still insufficient. And it has not been really practiced by most Buddhists. How to solve the contradiction between the ideal of the world and the diversified secular life, we should closely follow the psychological and social problems of modern people, explain the scriptures in popular modern language, explain ancient Buddhism in modern thinking mode, analyze profound Buddhism with modern scientific methods such as induction and deduction, and dare to break through the imprisonment of traditional Buddhism. We need to complete this epoch-making project, and use it to guide the college-style education in modern Sangha education and the Sangha training education in monasteries to continuously reform the teaching concept and teaching content, which not only conforms to the principle of Buddha’s opportunity, cleverness and convenience, but also stands the test of modern society and makes the future Sangha education system have strong vitality.

(C) In terms of educational content, we should adhere to the principle of "three-transmission and simultaneous teaching" and focus on local education.

Buddhism is the wisdom of life, the wisdom of life. The purpose of text reconstruction is to abandon the dross accumulated by history and save the losses caused by great adversity when Buddhism in China has gone through vicissitudes and kept pace with the times. Giving new life to ancient Buddhism, inheriting the fine traditions of Buddhism that have been effective for thousands of years, making an interpretation of Buddhist canon doctrine in line with today’s society, and absorbing the outstanding achievements of introducing overseas Buddhist education for our use, this requires enriching and running through the mode of "translating scriptures and giving lectures" in our Buddhist education. At the same time, in the face of the increasing popularity of higher education today, when people’s beliefs are becoming more and more wisdom and faith, we should give full play to the expertise of Buddhism wisdom and faith, and Buddhism education should become more wisdom and faith education, that is, in-depth study and body evidence of classics.

(D) In terms of educational objectives, we should pay attention to the establishment of monk personality.

It is always the key to determine the future of Buddhism to cultivate qualified monks who have a sense of abstinence and modernity, especially to cultivate eminent monks who can serve as models of people’s personality. As the main body of carrying forward and practicing Buddhism, the monk group is different from the students trained by social universities, and must strive to reach a higher level in the quality of talents, rather than deliberately pursuing quantity. This is because the future Buddhist temples are not shrines, homes for monks and nuns and shelters for the socially frustrated, but Dojo and meditation centers for promoting life wisdom. We should pay attention to the current situation of religious secularization. The focus of Buddhist education should be to cultivate self-confidence, self-esteem, self-respect and otherworldly sangha, and to instill this concept in young and middle-aged monks at all times, which requires the establishment and construction of a belief authority that meets the requirements of the times.

(5) In the teaching mode, we should strengthen the compatibility between China and foreign countries and cross-strait sharing.

It is necessary to promote the subjectivity of China’s orthodox Buddhism, innovate the teaching mode and talent growth mechanism, and strengthen the jungle life of monks and the integration of learning and practice, so that the monks can achieve the synchronous growth of Buddhist knowledge, Buddhist belief and practice. By creating a good environment and mechanism for outstanding monks to stand out, we should attach importance to and stimulate the use of monks’ thinking ability and correct discrimination ability, improve the overall quality of monks in an all-round way, and cultivate outstanding monks and dharma-spreading talents from generation to generation. We should also learn from the beneficial experience of Buddhist education in Taiwan Province, Hongkong and other countries, and select outstanding Buddhist monks for exchange education, so as to cultivate more senior Buddhist teaching talents. In specific teaching, we can also actively organize characteristic education according to local conditions, so as to change and break the current situation of "the House of Representatives is uniform and there are thousands of monks" in Buddhist education. At present, Buddhist education lacks specialized talents for temple management, such as talents for temple planning, design and construction, temple accounts, secretarial assistants of Buddhist associations, talents for Buddhist magazines and websites, and talents for books and archives management. In the direction of monk training, we can consider setting up new majors according to actual needs.

(6) In terms of teaching teachers, we should be strict with teachers and have profound knowledge and attainments.

Undoubtedly, the quality of Sangha education depends on teachers, and the cultivation of Sangha Buddhism depends on teachers. The existence and academic innovation of Buddhist colleges still depend on teachers. In addition to constantly improving teaching level and expanding knowledge, Buddhist teachers should also strengthen training and further study to meet the needs of teachers. Only teachers with firm Buddhist beliefs and profound Buddhist attainments can cultivate students who will certainly be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing their Buddhist wisdom. Therefore, the times call for religious and learned monks and experts to devote themselves to the cause of Buddhist education, which will be very crucial for promoting the status of Buddhism and reviving the Buddhist education in China. We can also consider establishing a friendship and exchange mechanism for Buddhist education in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, so as to realize the sharing of Buddhist education resources of the same ancestry and root of the Chinese nation, thus accumulating sufficient resources for the inheritance of Buddhism and Buddhism.

tag

In a word, the reform of Sangha education must proceed from China’s national conditions, not only to serve the needs of the times, but also to ensure that the monks exported by Buddhist colleges have the personality of wisdom and compassion. Secondly, on the basis of innovating the college-style Sangha education, we should also take the form of holding Sangha training courses in monasteries as a useful supplement to the regular Buddhist college courses. Because the temple is not only a Buddhist Dojo, but also a school to promote Buddhism, and it is an important place to realize the practice of Sangha, which is worth promoting. Thirdly, the goal of Sangha education is to cultivate monks who love their country, teach and love all beings, actively practice Buddhism and Buddhism for a harmonious society, and actively explore as responsible monks. Only by adapting to the needs of the society, implementing the religious law system, solving the confusion of all beings, and satisfying the Sangha education of teaching development, is the feasible way for the trend of Buddhism’s humanization and modernization.

　　[reporter connected] 　

　　When the Tokyo Olympic Games is in full swing, the situation of COVID-19 epidemic in Japan is deteriorating. On August 5th, 15,263 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Japan, exceeding 15,000 cases for the first time, reaching a new high in a single day. Among them, there were 5,042 new cases in Tokyo, the host city of the Olympic Games, which was the first time that there were more than 5,000 new confirmed cases in a single day in this region, creating a new high for two consecutive days. As of press time on the 6th, there were 4,515 new confirmed cases in Tokyo that day. The number of new cases in other areas involved in the Olympic Games, such as Chiba and Kanagawa, has also hit record highs in recent days.

　　At an expert meeting held in Tokyo on the 5th, experts attending the meeting believed that the COVID-19 epidemic in Tokyo was rapidly expanding, with an average of more than 3,000 new confirmed cases per day in the past seven days, an increase of seven times in one month. Therefore, Japanese experts predict that according to the current growth rate, the number of newly confirmed cases in Tokyo will reach 6,129 on August 11th and 10,909 on August 18th. In fact, as early as before the Tokyo Olympic Games, Japanese nationals tried their best to boycott the Tokyo Olympic Games for fear that the epidemic would intensify. They believe that the entry of a large number of foreigners will inevitably aggravate the domestic epidemic situation, and for the safety of Japanese people, the Tokyo Olympic Games should be cancelled.

　　However, is the worsening epidemic situation in Japan really due to hosting the Olympic Games?

　　On July 8 this year, Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide announced that Tokyo was once again in a state of emergency, and the implementation period was from July 12 to August 22. This is the fourth time that Tokyo, the host city of the Olympic Games, entered a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic. This also means that the Tokyo Olympic Games was held in a state of emergency in Tokyo, which directly led to almost all the Olympic Games being held in the absence of spectators. Undeniably, during the holding of the Tokyo Olympic Games, some Olympic-related personnel left the Olympic site and went to public places without authorization, and were disqualified from participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games. However, such cases are rare after all.

　　The state of emergency is "not as good as once"

　　Unlike the anti-epidemic measures of "closing cities" in most countries, Japanese local governments only publish the list of those who violate the regulations to uncooperative people or enterprises. Most people call this "soft anti-epidemic". For example, the government requires restaurants that provide alcohol to close down, and restaurants that do not provide alcohol to shorten their business hours; Large supermarkets shut down on weekends and shorten their business hours at ordinary times; Shorten the business hours of museums and cinemas; People try to avoid going out, and enterprises try to work at home. Therefore, the Japanese media believe that the effect of the state of emergency is now "not as good as once."

　　In view of this, the Japanese government also wants to adopt the method of economic compensation to encourage businesses that respond to the government’s call to shorten their business hours, but it is reported that many businesses have not received the subsidies promised by the Japanese government. As a last resort, they had to save themselves to avoid missing the night economy in summer. The reporter observed in Tokyo that some restaurants that provided drinks before the epidemic chose not to provide alcohol to extend their business hours in order to continue their business. In order to attract customers, there are even merchants who post advertisements "You can bring your own drinks" at the door. The narrow restaurant was crowded in the middle of the night, and there was no tension in the epidemic. Experts pointed out that the emergency measures tend to be loose, and they are encountering "drug resistance", and their inhibition on the COVID-19 epidemic is gradually weakening.

　　In addition, due to the recent intensification of the epidemic, medical resources in Tokyo and other places are becoming increasingly tense. The Japanese government announced on the 2nd of this month that, in principle, only severe patients and patients with high risk of severe illness can be hospitalized, and patients with moderate symptoms and mild symptoms are required to be isolated at home, and only when their condition deteriorates can they be hospitalized. A confirmed patient told reporters that because of his mild condition, the doctor asked him to go home and isolate himself. When the patient asked the doctor if he could go to the supermarket to buy food, the doctor’s answer was yes.

　　In the summer, people concentrated on fleeing from the "epidemic area"

　　According to Japanese media reports, during the obon Festival from August 6 to 15 this year, the air ticket booking rate of Japanese airlines increased compared with that of 2020, especially the air ticket booking rate of domestic routes in Japan increased significantly, among which ANA increased by 48% and JAL increased by 49.4%, which was nearly 50% compared with the same period in 2020. It can be expected that after the Bonin Festival, Japan will probably usher in another wave of epidemic peak.

　　In view of this, the governors of Tokyo Metropolitan Area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, saitama and Chiba) held a video conference this week to study the prevention and control measures of the epidemic and jointly appealed to the people not to travel in summer. At the meeting, the Japanese medical community agreed that the "Delta" mutant strain, which is spreading faster and more infectious at present, is the dominant epidemic in Japan. It is hoped that the people in the four places "should not travel or return home in principle during the summer vacation, and try to postpone the travel plan as much as possible". In addition, the governors of the four places also pointed out that people aged 20 to 39 with high epidemic rates should not drink alcohol or have dinner together on the roadside, and reminded people aged 40 to 59 with high risk of severe illness to pay special attention.

　　Young people are not interested in vaccination.

　　Vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine is one of the effective measures to fight the epidemic at present, but the vaccination rate of Japanese people lags far behind that of major western countries. According to the data of official website, the official residence of Japanese Prime Minister, by the end of July, about 43% of the population in Japan had received at least one dose of vaccine, and about 30% of the population had completed two doses of vaccination. Among them, among the elderly people aged 65 and over in Japan, the proportion of completing one dose of vaccination exceeded 86%. Due to various concerns about vaccines, the proportion of young people vaccinated in Japan is not high.

　　Some analysts believe that the mentality of "anti-epidemic fatigue" produced by Japanese young people is particularly obvious. Under the comprehensive effect of the Olympic Games and summer holidays, they have gone out of their homes and resumed their daily social activities, which directly leads to the fact that the number of people in an emergency has not decreased significantly compared with usual. This also gives more room for the spread of the menacing Delta mutant strain. In an interview at the end of July, Tarō Kōno, the Japanese minister in charge of administrative reform in charge of coordinating vaccination work, said that the proportion of young people in recent new infections is rising, and it is more important to improve the vaccination rate of young people than the vaccination rate. He said, "even if we slow down the vaccination rate a little, I think it is ok. What we need more is to reach out to young people and make them feel the need for vaccination."

　　(Guangming Daily, Tokyo, August 6 th, Guangming Daily reporter in Tokyo Zhang Guannan)

Some districts, counties and departments in Beijing have further tightened the management policy of civil servants going abroad for personal reasons. Yesterday, the Beijing News reporter learned that at present, all the passports of cadres at the department level and below in Tongzhou District who have gone abroad for private purposes have been handed in, which are kept by the unit collectively, and the principal responsible persons of department-level institutions have to register and put on record for going abroad for private purposes. In Huairou District, the filing management of personnel in classified positions abroad has also been extended to the department level.

Last year, after the Central Organization Department issued regulations to strengthen the management of going abroad, Beijing also tightened the management of cadres going abroad for personal reasons, but it was mainly aimed at cadres at or above the department level.

Passports of Tongzhou department-level cadres are kept in a confidential cabinet.

Recently, the Central Organization Department and the Ministry of Public Security issued a document requesting to further strengthen the supervision and management of leading cadres going abroad for personal reasons in cooperation with the international anti-corruption memorial service. Recently, Beijing’s newly-established Pursuit Office has also emphasized the control of "escape prevention", including strengthening the management of entry and exit licenses for party member and state employees.

Yesterday, the Beijing News reporter learned that at present, cadres at the department level and below in more than 90 units in Tongzhou District who have passports for going abroad for private purposes must be "handed in" and managed by their own units in a centralized and unified manner.

A civil servant in Tongzhou District said that cadres at or above the department level who hold personal passports are kept by the organization department of the district committee. If it is a newly promoted deputy director, it is required to "hand in" the passport to the organization department within 10 days. In contrast, the personal passports of cadres at the department level and below are "stored" in their own units. "If you want to travel abroad, you have to go through the approval of the top leader before you can get your passport back."

It is reported that Tongzhou District has recently issued a notice explicitly requiring all units to establish a centralized custody and internal examination and approval system for cadres at or below the department level who go abroad for private purposes.

The reporter learned that all units in Tongzhou District should arrange a special manager to manage the documents held by cadres and workers at or below the department level. These documents are required to be stored in a special "secret cabinet". According to the recent inspection by the Organization Department of Tongzhou District Committee, all personal passports have been handed in.

In addition, some municipal departments in Beijing have also put forward the requirement of handing in passports for department-level cadres in specific positions. A civil servant in a municipal department said that secret-related departments such as personnel and finance departments, as well as ordinary clerks who keep confidential documents and manage data, also need to hand in their passports.

Some district and county-level cadres must go abroad for the record.

Previously, according to the requirements of the Central Organization Department, Beijing has stipulated that leading cadres at or above the department level should register and put on record for going abroad privately. The Beijing News reporter learned that some districts and counties have also extended to some post-level cadres in response to the management policy of "filing system" for cadres going abroad for private reasons.

According to the relevant person in charge of the organization department of Huairou District Committee, for some department-level cadres in secret-related units, they also need to register for filing because they go abroad privately. "For example, the section chief and deputy section chief of some confidential departments require them to go to the entry-exit department for the record. They need to get the approval of the organization department for going abroad privately, otherwise it is impossible to release them. "

Tongzhou District clearly takes several types of personnel as the objects of registration and filing, including on-the-job district-level and department-level leading cadres, deputy directors of district-owned enterprises, and financial and confidential personnel of various units. At the same time, for the first time, the main person in charge of a department-level institution with legal person qualification was included in the scope of registration personnel.

At present, all units in Tongzhou District have received the Registration Form for State Staff. In the filing form, you will be required to fill in personal information such as the ID number of the person who went abroad for personal reasons, and the organization department will submit it to the exit-entry administration department of the public security for comparison and review when the cadres go abroad.

Relevant regulations on the administration of leading cadres going abroad (border)

Central regulations

In July, 2013, in order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the eight regulations, the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC issued the Opinions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Affairs Office of the Central Committee, the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Finance on Further Regulating the Temporary Going Abroad for Business of State Employees below the Provincial and Ministerial Levels.

In March 2014, the Central Organization Department issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Management and Supervision of Leading Cadres Going Abroad. The document strengthens the management of leading cadres’ certificates for going abroad.

In 2015, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued a notice (Group Tongzi [2015] No.20) on the special treatment of illegal handling and holding certificates for going abroad for personal reasons, requiring all units to implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, cooperate with the international anti-corruption memorial service, and further strengthen the supervision and management of leading cadres going abroad for personal reasons.

Beijing implements

In May 2014, in order to implement the relevant requirements of the Central Organization Department, the Organization Department of the Beijing Municipal Committee issued a notice on strengthening the management of leading cadres going abroad, and more attention was paid to leading cadres going abroad for personal reasons. It clearly stipulates that:

On-the-job leading cadres at or above the division level are strictly required to go abroad (border) for private affairs, and are generally not approved. Due to special circumstances, going abroad (territory) needs to be submitted for approval in strict accordance with the prescribed procedures in accordance with the cadre management authority.

Key overseas audit targets

Leading cadres involved in the management of personnel, finance, materials and confidential files; naked official

rule

● Centralized management of private passports handed in by cadres at or above the division level.

● Turn in your passport within 7 days after you come back from going abroad on business.

● Turn in your passport within 10 days after you come back from going abroad for personal reasons.

● Cadres at or above the division level are generally not approved for going abroad privately, and special circumstances require strict approval.

● Retired bureau-level cadres need to be approved by the party committees of bureau-level units.

Following Beijing’s tightening of the "threshold" for leading cadres at department level and above to go abroad for personal reasons, some districts and counties also strictly control the civil servants at department level and below to go abroad for personal reasons.

Tongzhou

Cadres at the department level and below in more than 90 units in the whole region who have passports for going abroad on private business must be "handed in" and managed centrally by their own units.

bring under control through mollification/conciliation

For some department-level cadres in secret-related units, it is also necessary to refer to the management policies of department-level cadres when going abroad privately, and implement registration and filing.

Changping

On-the-job department-level cadres are generally not allowed to go abroad for personal reasons. In addition, those who hold classified posts, even if they are not department-level cadres, are not allowed to go abroad for personal reasons.

How many steps does it take to go abroad? (Take a department-level cadre of a unit as an example)

Report to the person in charge of the application department for signature, and submit the application to the head of the organization and personnel department for signature and approval, and return the passport after going abroad and returning home.

reveal a secret

How to approve department-level civil servants going abroad for personal reasons?

The passport can only be "borrowed" after the head of the unit has signed it for review.

The Beijing News reporter learned from a number of units yesterday that since last year, Beijing has strictly controlled the requirements for leading cadres at or above the departmental level to go abroad for private affairs, and generally does not approve them. Due to special circumstances, going abroad (territory) needs to be submitted for approval in strict accordance with the prescribed procedures in accordance with the cadre management authority.

"Department-level cadres are not allowed to go abroad for personal reasons without special circumstances, whether they are real or imaginary." A civil servant of a municipal department said that this year a newly promoted deputy-department-level cadre of the unit "grabbed" a trip abroad before publicity. "I feel that there will be no chance in the future."

A cadre in Changping District also said that in-service department-level cadres are generally not allowed to go abroad for personal reasons, unless they are visiting relatives and other special circumstances, they will not be approved. In addition, confidential positions such as password workers, even if they are not departmental cadres, are not allowed to go abroad for personal reasons.

In contrast, although some districts, counties and departments in Beijing have also strengthened the management policies for department-level civil servants to go abroad, on the whole, department-level civil servants have higher "freedom" for going abroad privately.

A chief clerk of the financial department of a unit introduced that his passport had been handed in. If he needed to travel abroad during his annual leave, he would have to write an application to the organization, and the director of the office would sign it and submit it to the personnel department for approval. In the process of examination and approval, the passport can only be "borrowed" after it is signed by the top leader of the unit.

"If you just travel, you can generally review it." The clerk said, but sometimes it will face embarrassment. For example, some tour groups require to hand in their passports immediately. At this time, the approval process of the unit will be "too late", so travel abroad must be "advanced".

He said that after traveling abroad, he must return as scheduled according to the time limit for applying for going abroad and return his passport as soon as possible. "Every time you use a passport, the specific time of lending and returning will be registered accordingly."

What should party member do if he doesn’t return home after going abroad for personal reasons?

Those who leave home for one year without reason shall be treated as leaving the Party.

According to the organization department, party member went abroad for a short time for private affairs, and his organizational relationship remained in his original unit. When party member returns to China as scheduled, he should report the situation during his departure to the Party organization of the original unit in time.

If party member returns to China after the holiday, I need to complain to the party organization about the reasons. If the reasons are justified and there is no problem after examination, he can resume his organizational life in party member. If you leave for half a year or so without reason, or make general mistakes, you can give appropriate criticism and education according to the specific situation, and give appropriate punishment when necessary.

However, for those who have returned to China for more than one year without reason, they generally cannot resume their organizational life and should be dealt with by leaving the party on their own. If serious problems are found, the situation is true after examination, and they should be dealt with seriously, and some should be expelled from the party.

background

Some provinces and cities strengthen the management of civil servants going abroad.

Gansu province requires that the information of leading cadres at or above the deputy department level in the province shall be filed in the public security organs; At the same time, the personnel departments at all levels shall be responsible for the centralized custody of all leading cadres at or above the deputy department level for going abroad (border) for personal reasons in accordance with their duties and authorities.

Nanchang strengthens the management of six categories of personnel going abroad for personal reasons, including township-level cadres managed by county and district committees and secret-related personnel in various departments and industries. These personnel will be registered and put on record, and will be handed over to centralized custody for private ordinary passports, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan passes, etc.

Recently, for the first time in Xining City, 3,168 "middle-level leaders of municipal units" and "leading cadres at district, county and township levels" were included in the scope of personnel who went abroad for private registration. When these people apply for going abroad for personal reasons, they must submit the opinions of their work units on the applicant’s going abroad (territory) to the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ where the household registration is located, otherwise they will not be able to apply for the documents for going abroad (territory) for personal reasons.(Reporter Wen Wei Wu Wei)
