The Ideal of Engaged Buddhism for Practical Application in Indian Society

Pham Thi Ngoc Phuong, Le Phu Y

Abstract: Engaged Buddhism has become a symbolic historical event in modern Buddhism. From the twentieth century, Buddhism was transformed into a Buddhist application by advanced intellectuals, and various types of Engaged Buddhism advocated later were challenged in response to modernity at different levels and perspectives. The most common way is to interpret the Buddhist tradition as a strategy for modernization. Master Thich Nhat Hanh defined Engaged Buddhism as Right Mindfulness in everyday life in the 1990s. The Engaged Buddhism in economic and political activities positively does not hinder itself; it even needs to be freed from the world's right action. This concept of political, economic, etc. , is the Buddha Dharma, the world's work ethics as The practices of the Bodhisattva.

Keywords: Engaged Buddhism, society, economy, religion, modern
