Abstract

Truth telling has been recognized as important in the process of trauma healing and reconciliation according to modern peacebuilding theories. Studies have shown that truth telling is not a simple issue but involves problems and challenges that need research and solutions. This study contributes to this problem-solution or the question “How should difficult and painful truth be told in a way that minimizes harm and maximizes benefit for all?” by offering an alternative knowledge and method rooted in the Buddhist tradition. Based on textual study of the Majjhima Nikaya and Anguttara Nikaya, the paper argues that the Buddha’s teachings can widen the understanding and minimize potential problems with the work of truth telling whether in the collective or interpersonal context by providing a concrete systematic framework and criteria for reflection, making decision and communication of truth.

Abstract

In our world today, violence permeates every aspect of life from conflict to peaceful settings. Peacebuilding requires collective effort. Educating everyone to be capable peacebuilder is the fastest way to achieve this collective peace. Shaping all education systems toward peacebuilding is a way to do this. This paper deals with how to turn TVET into peace-oriented program. While existing studies that link TVET and peacebuilding focus on how the program itself contributes to addressing conflict drivers in the larger society, this paper contributes a framework for internal human cultivation of TVET learners to be capable peacebuilders in their world of work. Youth is the target group because they are the dominant participants of TVET programs around the world and they are seen as the future of their nation. Based on a grounded-theory approach and reinterpretation of the Buddha’s teachings in the Sutta Pitaka, this paper constructed a Buddhist framework for holistic vocational training that builds youth capacities for peace. This framework has four components: job skills, work attitudes, work ethics, and wisdom. The paper also gives recommendations on how to apply this framework to improve TVET in the future. The paper argues that for the common goal of peace, future peace-oriented TVET needs wisdom from local cultures and religions to enrich the knowledge and be rooted in the local context.
