- Major: Vietnamese Studies; Major Code: 8310630.01
- Scientific supervisor: Dr. Nguyen Dinh Lam
- Summary of the thesis results:
- The Vietnamese mendicant order is a synthesis of many socio-economic factors and conditions, a fusion of Northern and Southern Buddhism in Vietnam. The mendicant order embodies the Bodhisattva ideal of saving sentient beings, and its simple, purely Vietnamese style made it easily accessible and popular in Southern Vietnam at that time.
- The Buddhist nuns of the Vietnamese Khất Sĩ sect, under the leadership of Venerable Nun Huỳnh Liên, have inscribed their names in the history of Vietnamese Buddhism through their contributions not only to religious practice but also to the two wars of resistance against France and the United States. Venerable Nun Huỳnh Liên, along with other Venerable Nuns, led the nuns in the struggle for national independence and reunification, while actively promoting the teachings of the Vietnamese Khất Sĩ sect. Ngọc Phương Monastery is considered the ancestral temple of the Vietnamese Khất Sĩ sect's nuns, and today it has expanded to over 200 monasteries, mainly concentrated in the South and Central regions.
- Through analysis and synthesis, the process of dissecting various aspects reveals the spirit of service of the four exemplary nuns of the Khất Sĩ Buddhist order, while also contributing to honoring the beauty of Vietnamese women who are resilient and indomitable in the struggle against foreign invaders, and in the Dharma as true Buddhists with the aspiration to become Bodhisattvas to save sentient beings.
- Practical applications:
This is the first systematic and comprehensive study on the spirit of service of Buddhist nuns of the Khất Sĩ sect in Southern Vietnam within the history of Vietnamese Buddhism. At the same time, this thesis will contribute to enriching the source material for research related to this topic.
Due to the limited number of studies on the topic of the Mendicant Order in Vietnam, this research topic makes a small contribution to supplementing the source material for other related studies.
This research contributes to honoring religious and cultural values, clarifying the spirit of service, and continuing the teachings of the Buddhist nuns of the Khất Sĩ sect in Vietnam today.
12. Future research directions:
Continue to expand and research religious and cultural values, clarify the spirit of service, and continue the teachings of the Buddhist nuns of the Vietnamese Khất Sĩ sect today.
