Higher Education Must Guide Students to Correctly Resist Religious Infiltration
田玉芬:高校教育要引导学生正确抵御宗教渗透
Institutions of higher education are important sites for cultivating builders and successors of the socialist cause, and they are also the primary targets of overseas hostile forces seeking to subvert China’s ideology and culture. Exploring how higher education can educate and guide students to correctly resist religious infiltration is a key topic in the study of religious theory, and it is also an important issue for upholding the socialist orientation in education and ensuring the healthy growth of university students.
高校是培养社会主义事业建设者和接班人的重要场所,也是境外敌对势力对我国进行思想文化颠覆的首选目标。探讨高校如何教育引导学生正确抵御宗教渗透问题,是宗教理论研究的重点课题,也是我们坚持社会主义办学方向,确保大学生健康成长的重要课题。
I. The Practical Significance of Resisting Religious Infiltration
一、抵御宗教渗透的现实意义
The significance of researching the resistance of religious infiltration among university students is grounded in the dual needs of the present and the future. First, it is necessary to clearly grasp the connotation of religious infiltration.
抵御宗教对大学生渗透,课题研究意义是基于现实和未来的双重需要,首先需要明确把握宗教渗透的内涵。
(1) The Connotation of Religious Infiltration
(一)宗教渗透的内涵
Religious infiltration refers to reactionary political activities and propaganda aimed at overthrowing the regime of the People’s Republic of China and the socialist system, undermining national unification, and conducted under the cloak of religion; activities and propaganda aimed at controlling China’s religious affairs; and the illegal establishment and development of religious organizations and activity bases within China’s territory. It does not refer to friendly religious exchanges [1]1 "Peaceful evolution" (和平演变) refers to the strategy, attributed to Western powers, of subverting a socialist state from within through ideological and cultural influence rather than military force.. Religious infiltration has two major types: political infiltration and proselytizing infiltration. Political infiltration refers to “activities and propaganda that carry clear political designs, use religion as a banner to conduct reactionary political activities and propaganda, and aim to subvert the people’s regime and the socialist system and undermine national unification” [2]2 "Westernizing and dividing" (西化、分化) is a standard Chinese Communist Party formulation describing the perceived hostile strategy of the West to transform China's political system and break up its territorial integrity.. Proselytizing infiltration refers to activities that “on the surface have no clear political intent but arise from the universalism of religion, that is, to spread religion and propagate the gospel. Through proselytizing, the goal is to control China’s religious groups and religious affairs and to illegally establish and develop religious organizations and activity bases within China’s territory” [2]2 "Westernizing and dividing" (西化、分化) is a standard Chinese Communist Party formulation describing the perceived hostile strategy of the West to transform China's political system and break up its territorial integrity.. These two types are both distinct and interconnected; their essence is to overthrow China’s regime and socialist system.
宗教渗透是指以颠覆中华人民共和国政权和社会主义制度、破坏祖国统一为目的的,以宗教外衣为掩护的反动政治活动和宣传,以控制我国宗教事务为目的的活动和宣传,以及在我国境内非法建立和发展宗教组织和活动据点,而不是指宗教方面的友好往来[1]。宗教渗透有两大类型,即政治渗透和传教渗透。政治渗透是指“带有明显的政治图谋,打着宗教旗号进行反动政治活动和宣传,进行颠覆人民政权和社会主义制度、破坏祖国统一”[2]。传教渗透是指“表面上并无明显政治意图,而是出于宗教的普世性,就是要传播宗教、传播福音。通过传教以达到控制我国宗教团体和宗教事务、在我国境内非法建立和发展宗教组织和活动据点”[2]。这两种渗透既有区别,又相互关联,其实质,就是要颠覆我国政权和社会主义制度。
After the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the world political landscape underwent profound changes. China became the world’s largest socialist country and also a key target of the “Westernization” and “division” strategies of overseas hostile forces. Because religion possesses characteristics such as mass appeal, ethnicity, internationality, complexity, and long-term nature, and exerts a profound influence on all aspects of society—political, economic, and cultural—it has become an important tool used by hostile forces to infiltrate China.
东欧剧变、苏联解体后,世界政治格局发生了深刻的变化,中国成为世界上最大的社会主义国家,也成为境外敌对势力“西化”“、分化”的重要目标。由于宗教具有群众性、民族性、国际性、复杂性、长期性等特征,在社会的政治、经济、文化方方面面有着深刻的影响,因而,宗教成为敌对势力对我进行渗透的重要工具。
(2) The Practical Significance of Resisting Religious Infiltration Among University Students
(二)抵御宗教对大学生渗透的现实意义
The issue of higher education guiding students to correctly resist religious infiltration is both an important topic currently facing the united front work of universities and an academic subject urgently requiring research in China’s religious theory construction. “As China’s opening up to the outside world continues to expand, international hostile forces, in order to intensify their political strategy of ‘Westernizing’ and ‘dividing’ China, are using the banner of ‘religious freedom’ to compete with us for people’s hearts. Their purpose in using religion for infiltration is not only to expand the influence of a particular religion but, more importantly, to compete with us for the masses in the ideological sphere and fundamentally shake the governing foundation of our Party. We must be highly vigilant and strictly guard against this, and more clearly recognize the complexity and urgency of doing a good job in resisting the use of religion for infiltration by overseas hostile forces” [3]3 This quotation is from a speech by Hu Jintao at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China on July 1, 2011..
高校教育引导学生正确抵御宗教渗透问题,既是目前高校统战工作面临的重要课题,也是我国宗教理论建设亟待研究的学术课题。“随着我国对外开放不断扩大,国际敌对势力为加紧对我国实施‘西化’‘、分化’的政治战略,打着‘宗教自由’的旗号同我们争夺人心。他们利用宗教进行渗透的目的,不仅在于扩大某种宗教的影响,更在于在意识形态领域同我们争夺群众,从根本上动摇我们党的执政基础。对此,我们必须高度警觉并严加防范,更加清醒地认识做好抵御境外敌对势力利用宗教进行渗透的复杂性和紧迫性”[3]。
1. Resisting religious infiltration among university students is necessary to ensure their healthy growth. Hu Jintao pointed out in his speech at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: “From the day of its founding, our Party has always represented the vast majority of youth, won over the vast majority of youth, and relied on the vast majority of youth.” “Youth are the future of the motherland, the hope of the nation, and also the future and hope of our Party” [3]3 This quotation is from a speech by Hu Jintao at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China on July 1, 2011.. Religious infiltration of universities by hostile forces can lead to varying degrees of political belief confusion, blurred ideals and convictions, and distorted value orientations among university students. The value orientations of individualism, egoism, and utilitarianism will then expand, seriously affecting the quality of talent cultivation in higher education, hindering the healthy growth of university students, and preventing them from making achievements for the Party and the people.
1.抵御宗教对大学生的渗透是保障大学生健康成长的需要。胡锦涛在庆祝中国共产党成立90周年大会上的讲话中指出“:我们党从成立之日起,就始终代表广大青年、赢得广大青年、依靠广大青年”,“青年是祖国的未来、民族的希望,也是我们党的未来和希望”[3]。敌对势力对高校进行宗教渗透,会导致大学生不同程度地出现政治信仰迷惘、理想信念模糊、价值取向扭曲等问题,个人主义、利己主义、功利主义的价值取向就会膨胀,严重影响高等教育人才培养质量,影响大学生的健康成长,无法为党和人民建功立业。
2. Resisting religious infiltration among university students is necessary to build a harmonious society. Hostile forces harbor hatred for the atheistic Marxism and the socialist state system, constantly disseminating言论 that oppose the Party, the government, and the socialist system. Using so-called “human rights” as a pretext and religious propagation as a tool, they
2.抵御宗教对大学生的渗透是建设和谐社会的需要。敌对势力仇视无神论的马克思主义,仇视社会主义国家制度,不断散布反党、反政府、反社会主义制度等言论,以所谓的“人权”为借口,以宗教传播为工具,干涉我国内政。这会动摇大学生的思想根基,防碍高校思想政治教育的有效进行,严重影响大学生的思想稳定,从而,影响校园的和谐与稳定。更为严重的是,精神上受敌对势力在宗教外衣蛊惑下控制的大学生,在一些敏感的社会问题出现后极易被敌对势力所利用,成为社会稳定的不利因素,后果不堪设想。
3. Resisting religious infiltration among university students is necessary for ensuring the long-term stability and security of socialist society. In recent years, the world situation has become complex and entangled, with religious conflicts standing out prominently. In particular, the complex situation facing counter-infiltration efforts has brought the issue of safeguarding national security, unity, and long-term stability more sharply before us. University students are the future of the motherland, the backbone of social development, and the primary future bearers of the collective thought and culture of society. If the thinking of today's university students is captured by religious infiltration, they will in the future inflict irreversible damage on our society, directly shaking the ideological foundation of socialist society. We must clearly recognize that national security, unity, and long-term stability are the core interests of the Chinese nation, the fundamental mission for consolidating the Party's ruling position, and the basic requirement for achieving scientific development and social harmony.
3.抵御宗教对大学生的渗透是确保社会主义社会长治久安的需要。近年来,世界局势错综复杂,宗教纷争十分突出。特别是反渗透面临的复杂形势,使维护国家安全统一和长治久安的问题更加突出地摆在我们的面前。大学生是祖国的未来,是社会发展的骨干力量,是社会集体思想文化的未来主要承载体。现在的大学生思想如果被宗教渗透所俘获,他们在未来就会给我们的社会造成不可逆转的损害,直接动摇社会主义社会的思想基础。我们应该清醒地认识到,国家的安全统一和长治久安是中华民族的核心利益所在,是巩固共产党执政地位的根本使命所在,是实现科学发展与社会和谐的基本要求所在。
II. Basic Characteristics of Religious Infiltration
二、宗教渗透的基本特征
To resist religious infiltration, one must grasp its basic characteristics. Only then can one maintain a clear political mind amid the complex and tangled phenomenon of religious infiltration and act with a clear target. Religious infiltration possesses basic characteristics such as political toxicity, cultural aggression, international scope, diversity of means, organizational concealment, and severity of damage. These are mainly manifested as follows:
抵御宗教渗透,必须掌握宗教渗透的基本特征,这样才能在错综复杂的宗教渗透面前,保持清醒的政治头脑,做到有的放矢。宗教渗透具有政治恶毒性、文化侵略性、范围国际性、手段多样性、组织隐蔽性、破坏严重性等基本特征,主要表现在:
1. Political toxicity. Religious infiltration is a process in which hostile forces, using religion as a cover and freedom of religious belief as a pretext, replace Marxist ideology with non-Marxist ideology, first achieving a peaceful evolution in the ideological sphere. Religious infiltration has a clear political purpose: to subvert our state power and our socialist system. Political toxicity is the most essential characteristic of religious infiltration.
1.政治恶毒性。宗教渗透就是敌对势力以宗教为掩护,以信教自由为借口,用非马克思主义意识形态取代马克思主义意识形态的过程,首先在意识形态实现和平演变。宗教渗透具有明确的政治目的,就是颠覆我国政权、颠覆社会主义制度。政治恶毒性是宗教渗透的最本质特征。
2. Cultural aggression. As an important cultural carrier, religion has long been exploited by hostile forces. Religious infiltration delivers a massive shock to China's excellent traditional culture. Its purpose is to dismantle or transform the belief foundation of the entire society, as well as the ethical morality, value orientation, customs and habits, and even the way of life of its members, destroying the spiritual convictions of the entire nation from the perspective of worldview and values, thereby realizing the political scheme of "Westernizing" and "dividing" [China], and ultimately achieving the final goal of subverting our socialist system.
2.文化侵略性。宗教作为一种重要的文化载体,一直被敌对势力所利用,宗教渗透对我国优秀的传统文化产生巨大的冲击,其目的就是瓦解或改变整个社会的信仰基础,以及社会成员的伦理道德、价值取向、风俗习惯直至生活方式,从世界观、价值观上摧毁整个民族的精神信念,实现其“西化”“、分化”的政治图谋,从而实现颠覆我国社会主义制度的最终目的。
3. International scope. Because religion possesses an international character, the use of religion by hostile forces for infiltration is likewise international. Therefore, in practical work, we must adopt an international perspective, maintaining a sharp eye and paying close attention to any new developments and changes in international religions. The turmoil in the Middle East confirms this point. Although the sources of this turmoil vary across different countries and regions, the struggle among ethnic groups, religious sects, and external forces in this region has never ceased, with religious factors playing an important role. Such turmoil will continue in the future. The international situation is often a weather vane for domestic dynamics and requires constant attention.
3.范围国际性。由于宗教具有国际性的特征,敌对势力利用宗教进行渗透,同样具有国际性。所以,在实际工作中,我们要具备国际视野,对任何国际宗教变化和发展的新动态都要保持敏锐的目光,给予高度的关注。中东的动荡就验证了这一点,虽然其动荡渊源在不同国家、不同地区有不同的原因,但这个地区的民族、教派和外部势力的较量从未停止过,宗教因素发挥着重要作用。这种动荡以后也会持续下去。国际局势常常是国内动态的风向标,需要时刻关注。
4. Diversity of means. The means of religious infiltration are numerous. Seven common types are as follows. First, using the pretext of returning home for family visits, sightseeing tours, visits, academic lectures, and the like. Second, falsely using the construction of religious sites such as temples, monasteries, churches, and mosques to establish fixed activity bases. Third, using investment and factory construction within China as infiltration sites or transit points. Fourth, secretly printing religious propaganda materials, either domestically or abroad, and distributing them widely. Fifth, utilizing modern media such as television, radio, and the internet. Sixth, using charitable donations to support impoverished students or providing guarantees for studying abroad. Seventh, buying off cult organizations or religious separatist forces to serve as their tools.
4.手段多样性。宗教渗透手段繁多,常见的有七种。一是借助回国探亲、观光旅游、参观访问、学术讲座等名义;二是假借修建寺、庙、宫、观、堂等宗教场所,建立固定的活动据点;三是把在中国境内投资建厂作为渗透场所或中转站;四是在境内或境外秘密印制宗教宣传品,广泛散发;五是利用现代媒介电视、电台、互联网等;六是利用慈善资助贫困学生,为出国留学提供担保等;七是收买邪教组织或宗教分裂势力为其充当工具。
5. Organizational concealment. The organizational structure of hostile forces’ religious infiltration generally operates underground; its personnel are professionalized, belong to a certain religious institution or religious group, have their own religious leader and religious doctrine and precepts, and in their actions obey the command of their clergy. Their external appearance is loose, and most use legitimate occupations as cover, but internally the organization is tightly structured and the activities it carries out have clear objectives.
5.组织隐蔽性。敌对势力的宗教渗透,其组织结构一般都在地下运转,人员具有专业化特征,隶属于某个宗教机构或宗教团体,有着自己的宗教领袖和宗教教义、教规,在行动上遵从于其神职人员的指挥。他们外在表现松散,大都有着正当的职业作为掩护,但机构内部组织严密,开展活动目的明确。
6. Severity of damage. The drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union had complex and interwoven causes, but prolonged social turmoil, combined with vacillating policies on religious issues, gave hostile forces an opportunity for religious infiltration and accelerated the transformation of the social systems of Poland and the Soviet Union. These profound lessons tell us that the destructive power of religious infiltration is extremely great; if we are the least bit careless, there is the danger of the Party perishing and the state being lost.
6.破坏严重性。东欧剧变、苏联解体有着错综复杂的各种原因,但长期的社会动荡,加之在宗教问题上政策摇摆不定,给敌对势力的宗教渗透以可乘之机,加速了波兰和苏联社会制度的演变,深刻的教训告诉我们,宗教渗透的破坏力量十分巨大,稍不注意,就有亡党亡国的危险。
III. Correctly Grasping the Distinction between Normal Religious Activities and Religious Infiltration
三、正确把握正常的宗教活动与宗教渗透的区别
Correctly distinguishing religious activities from religious infiltration is the prerequisite and foundation for doing religious work well and effectively resisting religious infiltration. The differences between religious activities and religious infiltration are mainly reflected in the following aspects.
正确区分宗教活动与宗教渗透,是做好宗教工作,有效抵御宗教渗透的前提和基础。宗教活动与宗教渗透的区别主要体现在以下几个方面。
1. Different purposes. The purpose of religious activities is to educate people in religious belief and to guide people’s thoughts and actions with religious tenets. The purpose of religious infiltration is to use religion as a cloak to deceive the masses into blind obedience; in China it manifests as
1.目的不同。宗教活动的目的是教化人们对宗教的信仰,以宗教教旨指导人们的思想和行为。宗教渗透的目的是以宗教为外衣,蛊惑群众盲从,在我国表现为颠覆人民民主政权、颠覆社会主义制度,具有政治恶毒性和文化侵略性。
2. The subjects differ. The subject of religious activities is the normal religious organizations carrying out activities whose content is religion itself; the subject of religious infiltration is a social interest group that uses religion as a cloak and has a certain political purpose, and behind it there is often the shadow of certain major Western powers.
2.主体不同。宗教活动的主体是宗教的正常组织开展的以宗教本身为内容的活动,宗教渗透的主体是以宗教为外衣的有一定政治目的的社会利益集团,其背后,往往有西方某些大国的影子。
3. The methods differ. The method of religious activities is open and legitimate; it is carried out within the framework of China’s religious policies and laws, in religious venues, as missionary and preaching activities. The method of religious infiltration is covert; the scope of its activities is not confined within the framework of laws and regulations, and it is characterized by greater initiative, aggressiveness, and breadth. The targets that religious infiltration seeks are not chosen based on religious considerations, but on whether they can be exploited to serve its political purposes.
3.方式不同。宗教活动的方式是公开而正当的,是在我国宗教政策法律框架下,在宗教场所开展的传教布道的宗教活动。宗教渗透的方式带有隐蔽性,活动范围不局限在法律法规的框架内,它更具有主动性、攻击性、广泛性的特点。宗教渗透寻找的目标人不是以宗教为考量,而是以是否可以被利用,为其政治目的服务为标准。
4. The social effects differ. The social effect of religious activities is to spread religion and make people believe in religious doctrines. The social effect of religious infiltration is to achieve certain political purposes: politically, to “Westernize” and “split” us, attempting to subvert our socialist system; culturally, to use religion for ideological control and spiritual enslavement, replacing the socialist culture guided by Marxism. The current prominent manifestation is the attempt to subvert our social system, create factors of social disharmony, and hinder social progress and economic development.
4.社会效果不同。宗教活动的社会效果是将宗教传播出去,使人们信奉宗教的教旨。宗教渗透的社会效果是要达到一定的政治目的,在政治上对我“西化”、“分化”,企图颠覆我国的社会主义制度;在文化上用宗教进行思想控制和精神奴役,取代以马克思主义为指导的社会主义文化。当前突出的表现是要颠覆我国的社会制度,制造社会不和谐的因素,阻碍社会进步和经济发展。
IV. Countermeasures for Higher Education to Guide Students to Correctly Resist Religious Infiltration
四、高校教育引导学生正确抵御宗教渗透的对策
The basic characteristics of religious infiltration determine that to effectively resist it, both symptoms and root causes must be addressed. Higher education institutions must build a positive long-term mechanism from aspects such as the construction of an anti-infiltration organizational network system, education on the Marxist view of religion, ideological and political education, management team building, and prevention, control, and supervision, in order to effectively resist the infiltration of religion among university students.
宗教渗透的基本特征,决定了要有效抵御宗教渗透,必须标本兼治,高校要从反渗透组织网络体系建设、马克思主义宗教观教育、思想政治教育、管理队伍建设、防控监管等方面,构建积极的长效机制,才能有效抵御宗教对大学生的渗透。
(1) University leaders should attach high importance to anti-infiltration work and establish an anti-infiltration organizational network system
(一)高校领导高度重视反渗透工作,建立起反渗透组织网络体系
Party and government leading cadres in higher education institutions must strategically recognize the direct and potential impact of religious infiltration on China’s religious affairs, national security, and social stability, and fully understand the importance and urgency of resisting religious infiltration under the new circumstances. Responsibility systems must be implemented at every level. Comrades in student management departments and teachers engaged in student work are frontline personnel who need to grasp students’ ideological dynamics and information related to religious infiltration in a timely and effective manner. The Party and mass organization departments, foreign affairs departments, and security departments of the university must work together, each fulfilling its own responsibilities, coordinating and cooperating, establishing a joint mechanism, and forming an effective anti-infiltration organizational network system. Investment in human, material, and financial resources for anti-infiltration work should also be increased to ensure the effective conduct of the work. At the same time, horizontal linkages with relevant external units should be strengthened to form a multi-channel, multi-level, crisscrossing joint network, providing strong organizational guarantees for anti-infiltration.
高校党政领导干部要从战略高度重视宗教渗透对我国宗教事务、国家安全和社会稳定的直接和潜在影响,充分认识新形势下,抵御宗教渗透的重要性和紧迫感。要层层落实责任制,学生管理部门的同志和学生工作的教师是一线工作人员,需要及时有效地把握学生的思想动态和宗教渗透的有关信息。学校的党群部门、外事部门、保卫部门要齐抓共管,各司其责,协调配合,建立联动机制,形成有效的反渗透组织网络体系。还要加大反渗透的人力、物力、财力投入,保障工作有效进行。同时,还应加强与校外有关单位的横向联系,形成多渠道、多层次的纵横交错的联动网络,为反渗透提供坚强的组织保障。
(2) Adhere to the Marxist view of religion and guide university students to correctly approach religion
(二)坚持马克思主义宗教观,引导大学生正确对待宗教
Higher education should guide university students to correctly understand religion from the perspective of dialectical materialism, and to understand the historical and social roots of religion’s existence. Through propaganda and education on the Marxist view of religion and atheism, students should be enabled to establish a worldview of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and to use the Marxist worldview to understand the world, explain social and natural phenomena, and become thorough atheists. University students should be made to study and master the Party’s religious policies and the state’s laws and regulations concerning religion. Erroneous acts that disrespect citizens’ freedom of religious belief or infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of religious circles must be resolutely corrected. Religious activities must be correctly distinguished from religious infiltration, and hostile elements must be strictly prevented from using students to carry out destructive activities under the guise of religion.
高校教育要引导大学生以辩证唯物主义观点正确认识宗教,认识宗教存在的历史根源和社会根源。要通过对大学生进行马克思主义宗教观和无神论的宣传教育,使其树立辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义的世界观,并能够用马克思主义世界观认识世界,解释社会现象和自然现象,做一个彻底的无神论者。要让大学生学习和掌握党的宗教政策和国家关于宗教的法律法规。对不尊重公民宗教信仰自由权利和损害宗教界合法权益的错误行为,必须坚决予以纠正。要正确界定宗教活动与宗教渗透,严防敌对分子打着宗教的幌子利用学生进行破坏活动。
(3) Strengthen ideological and political education so that university students establish the system of core socialist values.
(三)加强思想政治教育,使大学生树立社会主义核心价值体系。
First, fully leverage the main channel role of Marxist theory courses, guiding university students to deeply study and master Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics, firmly establish the worldview and methodology of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and truly achieve learning to establish virtue, learning to increase wisdom, and learning to start undertakings. Adhere to the study of the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, establish the system of core socialist values, and use Marxist ideology to occupy the ideological domain. Second, leverage the role of grassroots Party and Youth League organizations and student associations, and through forms such as Party lessons, Youth League lessons, situation reports, association activities, and social practice, conduct education on ideals and beliefs, patriotism, collectivism, and socialism for university students. This enables university students to “deeply understand the glorious history and great journey of unremitting struggle by the Chinese people and the Chinese nation in modern times, inspire university students to love our great motherland, love our great people, love our great Chinese nation, strengthen their ideals and beliefs, increase their knowledge and skills, temper their moral character and will, strive and fight with determination, fully utilize their wisdom and talent on the broad stage of life, fully display the value of life, and let youth radiate a brilliant luster in making contributions to the Party and the people” [3]3 This quotation is from a speech by Hu Jintao at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China on July 1, 2011..
首先,充分发挥马克思理论课主渠道作用,引导大学生深入学习和掌握马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想,深入学习和掌握中国特色社会主义理论体系,牢固树立辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义世界观和方法论,真正做到学以立德、学以增智、学以创业。坚持中国特色社会主义理论学习,树立社会主义核心价值体系,用马克思主义思想占领意识形态阵地。其次,发挥基层党团组织、学生社团作用,通过党课、团课、形势报告、社团活动、社会实践等形式,对大学生进行理想信念教育、爱国主义教育、集体主义教育、社会主义教育。使大学生“深刻了解近代以来中国人民和中华民族不懈奋斗的光荣历史和伟大历程,激发大学生热爱我们伟大的祖国,热爱我们伟大的人民,热爱我们伟大的中华民族,坚定理想信念,增长知识本领,锤炼品德意志,矢志奋斗拼搏,在人生的广阔舞台上充分发挥聪明才智、尽情展现人生价值,让青春在为党和人民建功立业中焕发出绚丽光彩”[3]。
(4) Strengthen management team building and adhere to putting students first in everything
(四)加强管理队伍建设,坚持一切以学生为本
To effectively prevent religious infiltration, higher education institutions should also strengthen the building of ideological and political work teams, psychological counseling teams, and Party and Youth League organizations. Cultivate a team that possesses both profound political theoretical level and superb work capability. Put students first in everything, do thorough and meticulous ideological work, and let students feel the warmth of the organization at all times. Care about students’ thoughts, care about students’ studies, care about students’ lives, care about students’ employment. For students with family difficulties, a green channel should be opened. The employment of university students should be treated as a top priority project, and practical difficulties should be effectively helped to be resolved.
高校有效防御宗教渗透,还应加强思想政治工作队伍、心理咨询队伍和党团组织建设。培养一支既有深厚的政治理论水平,又有高超的工作能力的队伍。一切以学生为本,做好深入细致的思想工作,让学生时时感受到组织的温暖。要关心学生思想、关心学生学习、关心学生生活、关心学生就业,对家庭困难的学生要开设绿色通道,要把大学生就业作为一把手工程去抓,切实帮助他们解决实际困难。
(5) Strengthen supervision, prevention, and control efforts to ensure campus safety.
(五)加强监管防控力度,确保校园安全。
Strengthening campus management is the most effective measure to actively prevent and resist religious infiltration. The supervision, prevention, and control of religious infiltration activities must be strengthened. First, higher education institutions should strengthen cooperation with public security departments and other relevant units, establish an information exchange platform for monitoring religious infiltration activities, and coordinate prevention efforts. Second, the supervision of campus networks should be strengthened to purify the online environment for university students. Currently, the internet has become the main source of information for university students, but it is also the most important channel for overseas forces to infiltrate students. It has low cost, wide dissemination range, and high speed. Therefore, strengthening internet supervision, strictly preventing the spread of various harmful information on campus networks, and consciously strengthening the construction of campus network positions are also effective means to block religious infiltration. Third, strengthen the supervision of key personnel with religious beliefs. Management of foreign teachers, international students, students from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as well as personnel with religious beliefs on campus, should be strengthened, educating them to abide by China’s religious laws and regulations. Appoint informants to closely monitor religious activities on campus, thereby leaving no loopholes for religious infiltration to exploit.
加强校园管理是积极防范和抵制宗教渗透的最有效措施。要加强对宗教渗透活动的监管和防控力度。首先,高校要与公安部门等有关单位加强合作,建立宗教渗透活动监控的信息交流平台,协同防范。其次,要加强校园网络的监管力度,净化大学生上网环境。当前,互联网已经成为大学生获取信息的主要来源,但同时它也是境外向大学生进行渗透的最主要的渠道。它成本低、传播范围广、速度快。因此,加强互联网监管,严防各种有害信息在校园网上传播,有意识地加强校园网阵地建设,也是堵塞宗教渗透的有效手段。再次,加强对有宗教信仰的重点人员的监管力度。对外教、留学生、港澳台学生以及校内有宗教信仰人员要加强管理,教育他们遵守我国的宗教法规。设立信息员,对校园宗教活动密切监管,从而使宗教渗透无隙可钻。
