영문 초록

  The future of the world will be Information society. It means the revolution of information engineering by scientific technology. We assumes that the future mankind have those pessimistic aspects. Danger of Nuclear war, Energy problem, destroy the biological world, decadent trend so on.   The goal of Buddhist Ideal was Enlightenment. In other words attaining the Buddha-hood, awakening by himself which apply to the compassion to the world and creatures. In the modern world the ultimate reality of Buddhism have to change. Buddhism must reborned in the worldly world. The key-word is Dharma. Respect the value of creatures, ethical behavior clarification the life meaning, tolerance for the creatures. Thus Buddhism transformed to Applied-Buddhism progressively.   The womb thought of future Buddhism will be Bodhisattva spirit of Mahayanic Tradition. The funderment of that thought will be a solicitation [願], compassion[悲], a sincerity[信]. The practical development of Buddhism will be the master piece of Applied-Buddhism. However Buddhism never cling to the glory of past, but illumination of Bodhisattva spirit for the modern world.   It will be multiple Religious trend in the future for a while. The predominance of the religions are not judged by the number of temples, priests, layman but how close to the truth of their own declaring. Also social-judgement is important too. A standard will be social welfare, service etc. In other words, the common people decline to Religion not for the truth aspect but the socialization of it. During the past century, people concerns to Existence of Human. But Nowadays the ultimate concerns follow to Environment and Ecology.   Buddhist must soliloquy to ourself that bodhisattva spirit is presented in secular world. Buddhist have to awakened the ignore of creatures which has not the identity of self-awareness.
