Thich Thien Chau
(Nguyen Dang Brief record)

LTS: On the occasion of course in "Buddhist distance learning" to meet the learning needs of research and Buddhist readers, monthly magazine Awakening spoke with Thich Thien Chau on a number of issues related to the "Buddhist distance learning" in newspapers and magazines overseas Buddhism. We would like to introduce you to extract and read.

T procession of all, we would like to praise Venerable Newspaper Editor Enlightenment took the initiative to unlock the "Buddhist distance learning" to meet the research needs of the audience doctrine. I hope this work will build a movement to study Buddhism in the country fellow Buddhists and Buddhists aliens overseas. That would provoke less optimistic infinite legal resources as well as a new vitality to the readers of the Enlightenment .

A vivid reality of modern society should be interested in the propagation of the Dhamma, which is the great development of our country in terms of economic, social ... and especially on the intellectual side. In such changes, Buddhism should be stored so that adaptation to announce the public, fellow Buddhists, enabling customers Buddhist regular access to the Buddha Dhamma. In an industrialized society and the modernization of today, most Buddhists are attracted to the momentum of the rushing jobs, etc. ... so they have little leisure time to go to the temple school teachers or heard of preaching. The classes focus on teaching, mostly elderly participants. I think this is a Buddhist practice overseas, and perhaps also in such countries. Thus, the majority of newspapers, magazines Buddhist sites overseas are "Buddhist" special for Buddhists without access to the temple to hear preaching. And remote students in regular contact with the guide by mail, books for study, learning doctrine. This is a study of today's progress. I think, through the course "Buddhist distance learning" , the Buddhist farmers will have better conditions for study and practice the teachings of the Buddha and Buddhist understanding more precisely.

There are things to note about the learning styles of students for distance program that students must study effort and self-directed study as well as the materials are introduced. These are good conditions for Buddhists first step in the study Buddhism seriously. In addition to the documents introduced, students need to learn more themselves and need constant contact with the guidelines for the mutual and help in terms of research. Therefore, we can say Buddhist learning in a distance learning program in the spirit of college, meaning that it requires a dynamic, creative and patient learner, especially the effort to manipulate the chief knowledge Right Thought and follow the Buddhist themes in practical life. The monitoring will be persistent and continuous that it creates a sticky moral foundation of Buddhism within itself by each student. We can say the process of learning as a process of practice, I practice moral and intellectual direction to the true life of a Buddhist.

And finally, our desire is the Buddhists in the country and abroad will try to attend the "Buddhist distance learning" to Minister Yang spirituality and more deeply into the lives of students of - wisdom. Buddha taught that only "wisdom is the cause" . And we also know that true wisdom can only be generated during use and right of every human mind. /.
