Chapter 1: General overview of Buddhist educational activities and Buddhism in Kien Giang province.

Chapter 2: Current status of Buddhist educational activities in Kien Giang province.

The thesis clarifies:

Buddhism was introduced to Vietnam; Buddhism has continuously developed and blended with the flow of national culture, quickly adapting to the customs, habits, traditional beliefs, and consciousness of the indigenous people. With its contingent nature, Buddhism has naturally penetrated the lives of the Vietnamese people.

For more than two thousand years, since Buddhism was introduced to Vietnam; Buddhism quickly integrated into social life, every action, every idea of ​​daily life is imbued with Buddhism in all areas such as: culture, society, ethics, lifestyle, communication, responsibility, human duty in life. Buddhism has left a deep mark in the history of the nation, deeply ingrained in the subconscious of the children of Vietnam through many generations.

Therefore, Buddhism is considered a religion with a long-standing tradition associated with our nation and plays an important role in the life of the Vietnamese people. Among the activities of Buddhism in Vietnamese society today, it is impossible not to mention educational activities. Buddhist educational activities include educational activities within the Church with a system of schools training from primary, secondary, college, university, master, doctorate in Buddhist studies. In addition, Buddhism also conducts its educational activities through other activities directed towards society such as: charity activities, charity activities at preschools, private schools, vocational schools, reform schools, etc.

Vietnamese Buddhism in the 20th century and its current state leave us valuable lessons in the process of building a modern education system with relatively adequate facilities and training quality that meets the requirements of the current situation. A Buddhist education system (Northern Buddhism) in Kien Giang province, socialized both internally within the Buddhist organization and externally, and international integration in the coming years will continue to develop.

This goal requires the efforts of the Buddhist Sangha from the central to the grassroots level. The attention, support and assistance of the Party, the Government, the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations. Buddhist education activities in Kien Giang province, a long way, have had many meaningful activities to work with the local government to better care for social security. Initially, Buddhist education activities in the province also encountered many difficulties.

But with dedicated guidance and support in terms of policies, the province's Buddhist education activities have overcome difficulties, not afraid of difficult tasks, and the determination of the whole collective to do well in Buddhist education and social volunteer work. In general, the education and training of talented monks of the Kien Giang Buddhist Sangha has achieved many achievements, constantly learning, exploring, self-awakening, and exploiting wisdom.

With the timely attention and direction of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha, the functional agencies, departments and organizations in Buddhist activities have achieved good results. The Executive Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha in Kien Giang province always promotes the spirit of democracy, harmony, internal solidarity, unity, and collective intelligence. In addition, there is the focused, close and effective direction of the Most Venerable Head of the Executive Committee, the Most Venerable Deputy Head of the Standing Committee and the Venerables in charge of the sects, as well as the intelligent advice, prompt and timely resolution of the Sangha Secretariat.

Seeking support from State agencies at all levels, the consensus and support of monks, nuns and Buddhists, thereby completing all Buddhist affairs assigned by the higher-level Sangha. The subordinate departments and the Buddhist Executive Committees of districts and cities always strive to complete Buddhist affairs, contributing to the common achievements of the Buddhist affairs of the Kien Giang Provincial Buddhist Sangha.

Besides the achieved results, there are still limitations such as inadequate facilities and teaching and learning tools; the teaching staff and teaching methods are not diverse; the age of students in each course is not uniform, affecting the absorption of lectures.

The current Buddhist training program focuses on intellectual training, not paying attention to the spiritual practice of Buddhism. A large number of people often focus on degrees, the practice of solemn morality is not focused on; some have close social relationships, still depending on material things. This destroys the image of a teacher's pure and solemn mind, blurs the humility of Buddhism, and has a significant impact on the Buddhist Sangha in general.

Young monks and nuns have many degrees and high qualifications, but the Buddhist wisdom, solemn morality, and fearless dedication of Buddhism are not commensurate with their degrees. There are not many typical examples of young monks and nuns who have devoted themselves to difficult situations; they are not bold enough to contribute their opinions on the good and bad aspects of the Buddhist Sangha; to find timely solutions.
