Buddhist Channel recently introduced "Attract the young Dalai Lama's global": Dalai Lama - Bodh Gaya, India - At age 74, age "few", but not " destination "of the young. But if you ask 22-year-old young man: Bernard Wilson, then this young man tells us, he went to Bodh Gaya from Melbourne, Australia by all means remains to be seen only the Dalai Lama. Why are special cases like that?
But he Bernard Wilson is not the only one across the ocean to hear the sermon Dai lama. Of the 30,000 people in Bodh Gaya to hear the 74-year-old Tibetan monk speaking about peace in the world every year, starting from day 5-1, then at least 1,000 people, which most of them are age bar young to middle age, from 20 to 40 years old, came from non-Buddhist countries such as Australia, Italy, Czech Republic, Spain, England, Brazil and some African countries. Thus we see young people today do not have no interest in Buddhism! We think about Buddhism we bring what is needed for young people future owners of their religion, country and people.
In fact today many students, students, young people come to class retreat Buddhism as a day, three days a week vv.o across the country, because I wanted to learn the philosophy of Buddhism to learn how people train their lifestyle healthy and friendly. To the temple to study Buddhism, but not "escape to" to "chant type open" or sit and listen to the academic philosophy, dry, difficult to understand.
- Do Thi Thu - students of Hanoi University of Pedagogy a lot of interest with the situation: "The teacher always religious education to the situation closely in life and not dodge the question, the circumstances related to the topic of married love. Once he made the situation how to control jealousy or how to 'saw' a man down 'cold as ice' ... Situations like this are made for classes of young people very exciting. "
- Nguyen Phi Long, born in 1984, a company employee computers are attracted because classes offer new approaches Buddhism: "When I joined this class I was always convinced it helps her approach to Buddhism from the scientific aspect, not from the spiritual beliefs. Buddhism is no longer superstitious images that you see when with her mother to the temple again. It is the lessons are very close and practically at any time that he could have, for example, about what do you do when a neighbor on the porch to his garbage ... "
- The Guo Thi Thu Thuy, a company employee said that the Law has learned that empathy, sharing with others: "The family which has its own conditions so very afternoon, so I rarely interested in completing scene as well as other people's thoughts. After attending classes, lectures and extracurricular activities such as helping the poor, disadvantaged people who live their sympathy and share with the people around than ... "
In addition to studying Buddhist methods, classes are often organized extracurricular activities and charities such as complementary education for some young children in poor localities, charities package cake on the occasion of Tet, the "delivery Tet gifts to save orphaned children in the temple, "organized activities" prayer and counseling season "to help the doctor is concerned about death and more comfortable during the exam to achieve the best results or "relay season," enabling the students first come to no surprise the competition, strange ... So, young people to Buddhism classes with many different causes, but they all have in common a desire, is to find out the positive philosophy of Buddhism to educate yourself a healthy lifestyle and are useful, like water from hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
This shows that, besides a part Youth made public alarm alignment depraved morality, apathy, school violence ... consciousness and lifestyle of young people still have some youth towards the foot-friendly value- cosmetics to improve the lifestyle and his personality. Because "People spend a good preliminary calculation"
So the young generation today we're going to find a place for himself in the attack of different cultures, the temptation to succumb to increasingly attractive, stimulation instincts increasingly powerful and sophisticated. At the same time, asserted itself as a large target that young age towards. It seems to be the advantage of youth. But to assert in any direction? It is a threat to the parents and the social construction.
One of the current social problems in youth is school violence before this violence only where youth poorly educated, manual workers, or other chemical ingredients tha ... but today where violence has gone on "in person", expressed in the human being as gentle and intelligent. "School violence emerged as a new problem of education in Vietnam made public opinion much concerned. Many lively debate going on in the press to prevent the spread of this phenomenon."
The often we blame the family, school and thesis: they are small, young age is not enough understanding and experience. The issue of personal character few people are interested; the way they are shaped by the education of society. A society that values material be honored, the lies are considered to be successful ... the human personality has been distorted due to the common values of social influence. The moral values taught by families and schools will be disabled because the value does not mean much in the social movement.
Youths damage, lack of quality is a problem for the future of the country. Acts of violence, depraved playboy, love and lazy enjoyment of youth that is increasingly common concerns of the people.
Buddhist teachings always focus of people, but especially young people . Because the path to spiritual experiences are always enthusiastic, smart and strong-willed. Youth can meet his requirements. The problem is to have the right solution, thereby rallying the youth organizations at the grassroots Buddhist, building appropriate education and psychology and needs of adolescents.
The young Buddhist education E navigating purposes: to create environments and conditions for young Buddhists cultivate moral awareness of the nature and value of life, to train themselves to be able to build life happiness, through the ideal of a Buddhist four categories based on the Buddha for the Buddhist Anguttara in business:
1. Building the ideal upper direction, strengthening the belief in moral values, freeing the personality of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha community.
2. Set rules about living with five, ten sex. Thereby, the education standards of conduct where acts and language, and enhancing the spiritual, moral psychology.
3. Building relationships harmonious relations between parents, children, spouse, brother, friend, teacher organizations, the servant, the collective, society, nation, humanity, nature in general ... is to be able to live in harmony with people and the world around them.
4. Intellectual development, self-knowledge to overcome the dominant instinct: greed, anger, laziness, manh active, skeptical. Establish a stable mind, calm, self-control and wisdom (Business Increase Chi, Chapter 4 measures).
To realize the above categories, we need studies or surveys on social studies the state of youth and the needs of young age. We can not impose moral standards in a traditional single machine or a will. We only succeed when we can offer what young people need, not what we have ...
In fact, it is difficult for ordinary temple, with the monks and nuns from the previous So far only known from concept, to shoulder the burden of educating more young people. But with a church organization at the grassroots level is not impossible. We have experience through educational institutions such as the Family Youth Buddhist, summer camp, training camp, the colon is often directed to gather youth retreat ... The problem is recurring, set how to create the appropriate legal framework, building staff have the ability and a plan of short and long term operation at a reasonable, so will have good results on the field missionary activities for youth, will contribute to building a peaceful society and civilization.
Here are a few solutions needed to reach and attract young people to Buddhism.
1 .- For the youth to the temple, find the Buddha Buddhist teaching is to keep an essential role is indispensable in the lives of young people. For this, Buddhism must meet the needs of young people. That to meet the requirements of the young mind to understand the feelings and needs of young people is what?.
2 .- Demand for young people vary according to each age. The Soviet psychologists have studied and concluded that: "At each stage of age have one or two key active role in determining the change in psychology that age period."
Such as a fun activity in preschool children; learning is the activity of the old mainstream pupils; workers, is searching to discover young people's activities, etc. .. When you understand the psychological and needs of young people then, the next step we need to make various types of Buddhist activities plentiful and varied, to suit each age group to slowly towards young people to Buddhism.
's future land in general, are of particular religion where the youth. Because "Every year starting in the spring. Life begins with youth. Youth is the spring of Humanity ". Pay attention to educating young people have good qualities, is the ideal lifestyle, and a sense of cultural values and traditions can build their own happy life. Help young people see their own values and his dedication to value life. That's how the whole atmosphere of national prosperity. It was the most positive solution to the Buddhist church, we can attract young people to Buddhism. /. TT. Thich Nguyen Quang (giaohoiphatgiaovietnam.vn)
