Abstract

In recent decades, the academic literature on mindfulness has grown rapidly as it uncovers similarities and differences between mindfulness practices in Buddhism, Stoic philosophy, and Christian meditation. This research, which is still in its early stages, aims to distinguish the specific notes or elements that represent each of these mindfulness practices within a conceptual framework. Measuring mindfulness practices' efficiency and therapeutic efficacy requires selecting a subset of variables that specifically represent the practice. Failure to do so may result in a threat to construct validity. This qualitative study aims to explore the relationship between mindfulness and spirituality by collecting data through a literature review. The results reveal that religion, ethics, and spirituality are crucial components of the explanatory model of mindfulness practice. This is because religious and spiritual traditions allow it to become a form of psychotherapy with various modalities of attention regulation. This study contributes to the scientific understanding of mindfulness practices by highlighting the importance of examining them in the context of religion and spirituality and developing a better conceptual understanding of them across different traditions.

Abstract

This article investigates how Buddhist temples in modern Japan use the image of bodhisattva Jizō to attract more people to their precincts and to make closer ties with their parishioners through events known as Kō (regular temple events, usually concentrating on worshipping a bodhisattva, in this case - bodhisattva Jizō). The article presents an insight into three traditional Kō and one original event that grew out of a traditional Kō in the largest city of Tohoku region - Sendai. The author will attempt to show that the format of traditional Jizō-kō is quite flexible and allows the head priest to interact with the members in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Finally, we will have a look at a slightly changed format of Jizō-kō - Jizō statues carving event in Kōzenji, where the participants hardly engage in rituals, but instead spend some quality time carving small wooden statues and talking about Buddhism and the ideal way of life. The author argues that this kind of adaptation of a traditional event to the needs of modern people doesn’t make it less “Buddhist”, but instead allows the participants to get a deeper understanding of what they are practicing.

Abstract

Current British education means completing set assignments and exams to examine a prescribed curriculum with little room for personal development and individuality. Passing tests does not guarantee students can apply learning in real situations. Currently, 150 American schools have negotiated portfolios of evidence to universities and employers rather than Grade Point Averages (GPA). Portfolios demonstrate personal, practical and academic achievements more clearly than arbitrary tests. Future education must centre around life-competencies and how to be contributing citizens in our complex multicultural societies, based on individual talents and interests. It must focus on thinking, communication and practical application of knowledge and understanding. This requires reviewing everything we know and recognise about formal learning. therefore the purpose of this paper is to examine this situation in order to reveal the importance of intercultural competence at all levels of education. as for the method used by researchers in order to answer these problems is a mixed method. The results show that we need to make communication a priority to achieve intelligence, insight, and reduce the distance between cultures.

Abstract

Health-related research funders, regulators and journals increasingly expect de-identified health research data to be shared widely. This article examines non-western reasons for decision-making in Thailand, a Buddhist country, to explore the extent to which Buddhist DACs should make decisions based on Buddhist norms. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with literature and sociology approaches. Meanwhile, the source of data came from the DAC and the perceptions of various Buddhists. The results of this study suggest that the social impact of big data on health has the support of Buddhists and the community so that there is data transparency that can be known by the wider community. In addition, health data is big data that can utilize technology in its management. In conclusion, data sharing raises concerns about the accuracy and reliability of data so that it needs supervision so that the data presented is the correct data.

Abstract

Hindu Marriage is a sacrament that has been conceived to achieve a variety of worldly and spiritual goals. Some forms of hurt, untruthful or betrayal may involve a marriage relationship that may significantly impact the forgiveness behaviours of one or other members of married couples influencing their flourishing. The study examined the role of some biographic features, the forgiveness of self, others and situations in shaping the well-being of married Hindu couples. Employing a correlational design, the study recruited 300 married Hindu couples with the age ranging from 25 to 50 years by snowball sampling. Forgiveness and well-being were measured with the help of The Heartland Forgiveness Scale and Mental Health Continuum. The findings showed that education, age, domicile, occupation and years of marriage and the three types of forgiveness exhibited significant positive correlations with the indices of well-being whereas gender, number of children, nature of family (nuclear or joint), number of family members and socioeconomic status showed negative correlations with the same. Employment status and age emerged as the most significant predictors for hedonic and psychological well-being, respectively. Conversely, others' forgiveness did the same for social and eudaimonic well-being and flourishing. Indian socio-cultural conditions, the conceptualization of Hindu marriage and relevant earlier studies have been used to discuss the findings. Some biographic attributes, inclination towards a postmodern lifestyle and others' forgiveness seem to shape the well-being outcomes of married Hindu couples. Directions for future researchers have been discussed.
