Modern preaching.

Talking about the difficulties that Buddhism to "live" the time is always the hardest. However, the fundamental difficulty of Buddhism in general and industry in particular preaching, we must first say that the subjective element comes from the limited practice of elaborately fourfold. Such difficulties can only be overcome by a sense of enlightenment in each person and the practice where every effort itself.


Besides, spirit incarnate, and depending upon the Buddhist adaptation, forcing us to integrate into life in the open country context integration and social problems arising from the 1001 side of the market economy. In such a social context, a department monks and nuns, if not determined to devote, the moral virtues of a monastic order that integrity is difficult. This is a very big challenge facing Buddhism.


Indeed, whether religious or youth life today is like the seed strong, fit so very easy to germinate, sprout, before development the favorable conditions of modern civilization. However there is one thing we can not ignore, especially for those who do missionary work, it is very easy nowadays youth affected and infected arising from the negative side of the economy market, in favor of pragmatic lifestyle, especially adversely affected by multi-dimensional information on the network, the toxic products from books and from the internet, this leads to the degradation, moral corruption and alienation of human life on the part of monks and nuns child will not practice cultivation, or parts for a youth-oriented attention.


A major challenge that the industry faces preaching again, it is that we are living in the 21st century, the century of civilization, as well as science and spirituality century, in the context of modern society, where literacy levels have improved, ability to sense and knowledge of public resources abundant, rich, therefore legal needs of the public hearing today in a Buddhist highly hierarchical, they simply do not come to hear the sermon which had 've read or understand, that come to be experience sharing as well as the legal practice of open source languages ​​bold insight. In short, they need to cultivate the practice of preaching, every word spoken are French, not interested in skills, art lectures. Meanwhile, the industry is now preaching focused on the work of spreading the teachings of knowledge in general and vague, heavy on the form, but rarely interested in the practical needs of the audience. One more interesting thing, team monks do missionary work are now very slim, many fundamental religious restrictions, the allocation of the preaching is not reasonable, while still digging Church create a team of trusted successor to take on this great responsibility.


During the era of globalization, the era of science and technology and material civilization, before the introduction of mass culture, gold mixed brass, Buddhism has always been considered as important factors constitute the nation's cultural identity, so Buddhism can not lose her active role in the preservation and promotion of cultural and ethnic identity . Because ethnic identity is cultural foundation of national independence. By the way we should keep an eye on an issue that is equally important need for propagating faculty interest. That is, from the traditional platform of worship ancestors have eternal self, set decoration culture folk beliefs, in addition to the profound influence petal compassionate spirit of Buddhism to the farm from which our rural areas that are far away of Buddhism, is always solid stronghold to prevent the culture and beliefs alien. But today, the desire to enjoy the fruits of modern civilization provides pragmatic and tend to live, and with the introduction of mass culture and alien beliefs, the results were more variable rural, regional and remote areas, mountainous areas in our country became the hotbed for culture and beliefs attached to material possessions. This is one of the major challenges that the industry can not preaching interested.
