Buddhism has both a system the notion of not, suffering, egolessness, b., Xu, Hy discharge ... recommend that people should always know the suicide legal training, charged by the van just as impermanence, the ego is just the combination of skandha

Buddhism in Vietnam from the early years of Western history. More than two thousand years available in the country, Buddhist Vietnam always promote the spirit of the Dharma in the world, from the World Cup, meaning that the Dhamma of the Buddha in the world, do not leave the Earth which can be aware. Dharma is not a world or a bounty of Bourn detached from secular society. Unable to accept in advance on the partition between the Earth and the Earth; leave the Earth to find the bridge enlightenment in Buddhism is the no result. The Buddhist Vietnam is also willing to take hold ten great vows of Bo-slapped Samantabhadra, one of the greatest Portuguese slaps are very familiar with, that my great vows his ninth is "positive constants being," expressing the spirit beings serve as donation chư dominant awareness of Buddha's Words.many generations of Vietnamese Buddhists, monks and nuns are ready to discharge to attend the building and protect the nation, contributing to building peace in the region and the world.

However, besides the many achievements and the positive value of Buddhist activity in the country, appeared no less the challenges and barriers to the sustainable development of Buddhism in modern times. Indeed, subject to the negative impact from the side of the market mechanism, of the process of globalization, and of international integration, living Buddhism in our country in recent years has been the trend secularization in many realms and seem increasingly expanding the negative side. This is one of the issues to be of paramount concern in the current period.

1. "secularization" of Buddhism today-some issues in need of attention

Long ago, the concept of "secularization" was not a few researchers mentioned as a trend of thought, work and affect many aspects of life in the convent; recently, the problem of secularization is heated using a variety of arguments related to the theory of Sociology of religion, economics of religion ...

According to Vietnamese dictionary Publisher-Approved of Da Nang in 2009, the "secular" is practiced in life; is the worldly life, as opposed to the life of austerities in view of religion ". Here, secular was in the worldly life. Thus, secularization is bringing religion into everyday life, truly embodied the spirit of sticking to human life by the religious institutions, the tenets of hard dry towards the rescue of religion into vivid lessons to apply to building a fair society. With the tendency to secularization of religion according to the specified point, in addition to efforts towards a life freed for the renunciation has completely renounced secular life dedicated austerities, Buddhist activity also directed at issues of social life, reflecting the spirit of Buddhism with human and peoples, with the country, uphold the patriotic tradition and the spirit of building the country, create a great citizen, expanding the scope of social, humanitarian and charity as: raising orphans, disabled persons, supporters who have critical circumstances, make a pot of soup in the hospitalconstruction, House, joining fellow relief for flooded, join the project strengthens the capacity of religion in running HIV/AIDS ...; from there, affirming attitude "enter world" of voluntary Bo-slapped in the Buddha's teachings.

Pity that there was no less aware of deviations in the Secularization of religion, led to the mounted life austerities with pragmatic attitude, with the beneficiary of the market economy and social consumption, run according to the value of the material ... So, the essence of the negative trend in the Secularization of Buddhism today? Why these issues need to be resolved concern?

According to the rules of lobbying of the historical society, the transformation of contemporary Buddhism, especially in correlation between moral and life increasingly goes on in harmony, is inevitable, especially in the context of globalization, the international economic integration. However, we cannot deny the fact sadly in some basis of worship and in a Steady, Ni Buddhists Buddhist Church of Vietnam, this transformation is taking place according to the negative trends, if not be deflected with the aim of Nice served French leaders and peoples. Can see the highlight is the increase of allergic factors decency in Buddhist rituals and the decline of morals of a Division is growing, Ni, faithful. Many monasteries are as superstitious activities such as: Sport suspension, ball cards, divination; many monks and nuns not acts according to Buddhist philosophy whose only anxiety, attempt to gain money or hierarchical.

Agree that the desire for earthly happiness, health, success, wealth ... of human beings through the guise with the condition was hiding the ball to intimate sphere, thanks to bus in Buddhist heaven made for living in the buried forest meditation gradually became more pragmatic, far left the traditional doctrines; but can't blame that "because there are requested to have the supply" before the status of some elements of Buddhism were contractions continue, trivial, commercialism, some monasteries no longer retain its purity, the inherent formal sanctuary, only incense smoke ngut, shady, cosy ran, votive rife; also with the Dharma, with the task of higher education culture they are indifferent, ooka. Many works of Buddhism from purely religious aims to respond to the needs of religion, spiritual direction of human goodness, when run under the market mechanism, according to the needs of a number of people have raised the issue of hybrid, mixed with superstitions, presentablewell, so become lucrative piece of land to not less religious mask guys do "spirit merchant selling Holy", mị inhabitants, degrade the beliefs of Buddhists on the path to liberation in Buddhism. The phenomenon of "monk is not out of the temple, is not out of the Temple" in fact still exists in not a few places, some foundations of worship became the "Duchy" its own Abbot and less subject to management, supervision of the Church should occur no less negative ...

The expression on completely goes against the philosophy and the direction of Buddhist righteous acts. So, to help the Vietnam Buddhist Church to more sustainable development, further contributions are worthy of protection and promotion of traditional culture of the nation, contributing to the construction and protection of the fatherland, the rapid measures to solve this problem thoroughly during the current period are essential and practical significance.

2. Try to find appropriate solutions

Everybody knows that the Buddhism still has available a system of strict Muslim rule, was specifically to the laws that apply to all of the Increase, and adherents of the Buddhists as the Fourth part, the Whole part, law Ma-ha Steady-States ... Canon law system was instituted by the Buddha himself, transmitted through 26 centuries and many generations the Buddha maintained strictly confidential, giving the popular Buddhist go around that still has the consistency of a Steady-old rescue, is a strong standing of the three jewels, as where the threshold for all Buddhists around the world. Buddhism in Vietnam for over two thousand years of experiencing how turbulent as well as thanks to the spirit of strictly maintained precepts of the Holy steps up there face at any time. So, the first thing to do to stop the negative trend in the Secularization of Buddhist activity right now is to strengthen the enforcement of the Buddhist precepts in every house hold Steady-old.

In 1981, the Buddhist Church of Vietnam was established, a Charter of the Church were all dispatched accept to unify, unify leadership, build the Church from the central to the local departments, hospital ... enough for the French birth rate Hoang. The Charter over time also revealed the shortcomings, it should be revised, especially in the rapid developments as it is today.

Buddhism has both a system the notion of not, suffering, egolessness, b., Xu, Hy discharge ... recommend that people should always know the suicide legal training, charged by the van just as impermanence, the ego is just the combination of skandha. With the principles and standards in the five precepts, The friendly, T; with the world behave in harmony as in Contents, with thoughts about the rescue, towards building valuable human cloning and to build a society without exploitation mode, there is no distinction of caste; from the spirit of "Dharma real French World Cup" Vietnamese Buddhism always uphold the spirit of life "the foot, friendly, United States of America", well so did to the ethics of Buddhism blend into the ethics of nationalism, becoming the unique cultural traditions in human morality. So, think the solution should be built to counterbalance these negative trends in the current negative secularization is enhanced to promote moral values, culture of Buddhism in particular austerities as well as social life in General. This work of seminar are also contributed to the same people all over the country participated in the strategy of building and developing an advanced Vietnamese culture, strong ethnic identity ".

The Buddha is still teaching "to light a torch up, to his place of refuge, the refuge Chief of France, but don't be refuge in somewhere else". Answering the question what people need to escape from the suffering of this life the teachings Buddha taught that humans had to use his life's main work in the disciplines which the Buddha had indicated in the Comment to transform consciousness, get to know properly the nature of lifethat gradually get rid of the law, causation DAC Nirvana. Thus, Buddhism is the way each character to go and manually to a destination based on the efforts of himself rather than through the grace of God Almighty any one would. Even the Buddha who has outlined the attendance there of Salvation cannot be those who are not essential to practice rescue.

Current "Buddhism is a religion has great influence in Vietnam, but could only maintain, exalt the role, his position in the contemporary era, if continue to demonstrate is the mirror of wisdom and modesty; is the force at the forefront of religions in our country in constructing and protecting the homeland. " So, standing in front of the drawbacks and negative effects arise as analyzed above, the formation of the appropriate solution, since it made clean, pure Buddhist activities, making my people's beliefs put into Buddhism are respected, should be the top task of the Church in Vietnam during the current period.
