The vice president of the Chinese Buddhist Association is the leading position of the Chinese Buddhist Association, and his level varies from region to region and position. In Chinese Buddhist associations, vice presidents are generally divided into three levels: national, provincial and municipal.

Vice-presidents of national Buddhist associations, such as the Chinese Buddhist Association, are equivalent to ministerial level. Vice-presidents of provincial Buddhist associations, such as Sichuan Buddhist Association, are equivalent to the deputy department level. The vice president of a municipal Buddhist association, such as the vice president of the Chengdu Buddhist Association, is equivalent to the deputy director.

It should be noted that the leadership positions of Buddhist associations are not those of government departments, and their grades and ranks will vary according to different regions and positions.
