Abstract

This study is about Present Karma Buddhism (the Sky-Blue or Moe Pyar sect) which represents a radical reformist movement in Myanmar that reinterprets Theravada doctrine into a strictly "this-worldly" psychological framework (Pyissouppān-kamma-wāda), triggering decades of severe state suppression and official charges of heresy (adhamma-vāda). Moving beyond existing scholarship centered primarily on founder U Nyāna, this study investigates the overlooked biographical trajectories and survival strategies of key co-founders, monastic scholars, and female practitioners who sustained the movement. Utilizing a qualitative, historical-biographical research framework, the study analyzes ecclesiastical court archives, state legislation, internal sectarian literature, semi-structured oral history interviews, and digital ethnographic media from online public channels. The research identifies major empirical outcomes regarding the movement's socio-intellectual adaptation: monastic entryism, wherein co-founder Venerable Guṇavanta readopted traditional saffron robes after 17 years to retain social influence while maintaining Present Karma views; underground dissemination, through scholar Venerable Ñāṇindālaṅkāra’s secret publication of banned treatises from within orthodox monastic institutions; elite intellectual defense, demonstrated by top-ranked Dhammācariya scholar Vicittasārābhivaṃsa authoring apologetics and continuing lay preaching; and gendered resistance, as scholar nun Venerable Dhammaviharini Jana bypassed state bans on female higher ordination by adopting 311 Bhikkhuni Vinaya rules, confronting dual accusations of doctrinal heresy and institutional patriarchal resistance. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that despite headquarters seizure and severe legal persecution, Present Karma Buddhism persists through strategic concealment, digital platforms, and political defiance against military rule, highlighting the resilience of subaltern religious movements under authoritarian regimes.

Abstract

Climate change poses ecological, ethical, and spiritual challenges shaped by human consumption, inequality, and interconnected suffering. Although Buddhist environmental ethics has received growing scholarly attention, a coherent framework linking spiritual transformation to collective ecological action remains insufficiently developed. This study constructs a Buddhist eco-theological framework through a qualitative literature-based examination of the Pāli Canon, Mahāyāna Sūtras, contemporary Buddhist ethical formulations, and empirical research on mindfulness and ecological behavior. Textual, conceptual, contextual, and integrative analyses identify ten interconnected foundations: paṭiccasamuppāda, anattā, mettā, karuṇā, ahiṃsā, sīla, appicchatā, santuṭṭhi, sati, and paññā. The Five Mindfulness Trainings are interpreted as a contemporary articulation of pañcasīla, linking Buddhist practice to respect for life, sufficiency, responsibility, dialogue, and mindful consumption. Synthesizing these perspectives, the study proposes the Relational Compassionate Mindful Ecological Action (RCMEA) model, which integrates relational awareness, reduced self-centeredness, compassionate care, sufficiency orientation, mindful agency, ethical commitment, and collective ecological action. This model explains conceptually how individual spiritual cultivation may inform ecological responsibility across communal, institutional, societal, and interfaith contexts. Rather than treating ecological responsibility as an isolated moral obligation, the framework positions it within transformative Dhamma praxis, connecting inner cultivation, ethical conduct, responsible consumption, and coordinated action. The RCMEA model offers a theoretical basis for future empirical investigation and context-sensitive environmental initiatives grounded in Buddhist ethics.

Abstract

Mindfulness plays an important role in shaping individuals' awareness, self-regulation, and perceptions of personal control. From a Buddhist perspective, mindfulness (sati) is closely associated with conscious reflection and ethical self-discipline, as reflected in the Ādhipateyya Sutta, which introduces three guiding principles: self-authority (attādhipateyya), worldly authority (lokādhipateyya), and Dhamma authority (dhammādhipateyya). Drawing on this Buddhist framework, this study examines the relationship between mindfulness and employees' locus of control, particularly their tendency toward an internal locus of control. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires administered to employees from various organizations. The findings indicate a positive relationship between mindfulness and internal locus of control, suggesting that employees with higher levels of mindfulness tend to perceive greater personal control over their actions and work-related outcomes. Interpreted through the Ādhipateyya Sutta, these findings highlight a conceptual connection between mindfulness, reflective self-governance, and personal responsibility, while recognizing the distinction between Buddhist ethical principles and psychological beliefs about control. The study contributes to the dialogue between Buddhist teachings and organizational psychology by offering a Buddhist interpretive perspective on the relationship between mindfulness and locus of control. Practically, the findings suggest that mindfulness-based employee development initiatives may support self-awareness and personal responsibility in the workplace, although their effectiveness requires further empirical investigation.

Abstract

Mindful Buddhist leadership emphasizes the leader's ability to develop self-awareness, wisdom, compassion, and harmonious interpersonal relationships. In Buddhism, the Saṅgaha Sutta (Aṅguttara Nikāya 4.32) outlines four principles of maintaining social relationships (saṅgahavatthu), namely dāna (generosity), peyyavajja (loving speech), atthacariyā (helpful action), and samānattatā (equal and non-discriminatory attitudes). These principles provide an ethical foundation for understanding the importance of interpersonal communication in Buddhist leadership practice. This study aims to analyze the influence of interpersonal communication on conscious Buddhist leadership and interpret the relevance of these relationships through the perspective of the Saṅgaha Sutta. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of 39 temple leaders in East Lampung Regency which was determined through saturated sampling techniques. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results of the reported analysis showed that interpersonal communication had a positive and significant effect on conscious Buddhist leadership. Openness, empathy, supportive attitudes, positive attitudes, and equality in communication are aspects relevant to the development of harmonious leadership relationships. Conceptually, the findings are in line with the values of the Saṅgaha Sutta, especially loving communication, concern for the well-being of others, and non-discriminatory treatment. This study contributes to the development of the study of Buddhist leadership by linking empirical evidence of interpersonal communication and Buddhist ethical perspectives. The implications of the research emphasize the importance of strengthening interpersonal communication competencies in the development of Buddhist leadership that is conscious, inclusive, and service-oriented.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between mindful communication and students’ self-concept in the context of Buddhist teachings at Jinarakkhita Buddhist College of Lampung. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method and a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring mindful communication and students’ self-concept and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics. The data analysis involved statistical assumption tests and simple linear regression to examine the relationship between the variables. The findings indicate that mindful communication has a positive and statistically significant relationship with students’ self-concept. This suggests that greater mindful communication is associated with a more positive perception of oneself. From a Buddhist perspective, these findings can be discussed in relation to mindfulness (sati), loving-kindness (mettā), and Right Speech (sammā vācā), which emphasize awareness, ethical communication, and respect for others. This study contributes to the integration of communication psychology and Buddhist philosophical perspectives while distinguishing psychological constructs from religious doctrines. However, the cross-sectional design does not establish a causal relationship, and further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and the broader applicability of the findings
