Hundreds of Buddhist teachers and educational
experts from across the country gathered at a seminar in Hanoi on May 9 to
discuss the models and methods of education that Vietnamese Buddhism currently
uses.
The
seminar was themed “Education on Vietnamese Buddhism: Orientation and
Development.” The participants shared their views on education in general as
well as Buddhist education and how it impacts society, Vietnam’s Buddhist
Sangha (VBS), and future generations.
The
principles and philosophies of education, especially Buddhist education and
national education were also discussed at the event.
The
first task for the education of monks and nuns is to implement a uniform
curriculum in all existing educational establishments for monks and nuns, said
the Most Venerable Thich Chon Thien, Vice Chairman of the VBS Executive Council
and Head of the Central Committee for the Education of Monks and Nuns.
The
most important thing is to keep improving the efficiency of teaching and
learning methods, he noted.
According
to the Most Venerable Thich Duc Nghiep, Vice Secretary of the VBS Central
Committee’s Standing Board, ever since the VBS was established, the education
of monks and nuns has been always considered an important task for the Sangha.
The
Central Committee for the Education of Monks and Nuns has also supported
Buddhist education for tens of thousands of monks and nuns at four Buddhist
academies, nine Buddhist colleges, 33 Buddhist intermediate schools and nearly
100 Buddhist primary schools across the country.
