비대면 시대의 사찰 신도조직 활성화

Abstract

Modern society is undergoing a revolution in its social structure due to the development of convergence technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robots, human intelligence (AI), and cognitive science. This phenomenon is called the Fourth Industrial Revolution. On top of that, non-face-to-face contact is expanding as the covid-19 pandemic occurs. This phenomenon has a great impact on the religious community as well. Buddhism lacks the ability to respond to new changes due to the aging of believers and the maintenance of agricultural traditions. Therefore, each temple must overcome the crisis of the non-face-to-face era by developing cyber missionary methods. In order for cyber mission to be activated online, it is necessary to establish an online mission infrastructure. And the fostering of cyber missionaries who can take charge of this should be preceded. And Buddhism should spread the new ways of doing things at home in response to non-face-to-face dailyization. Some Buddhist organizations run Buddhist communities online. However, the vast majority of inspections are not responding properly due to lack of manpower. Cyber missionary activities are essential for Buddhism to mission to young people in their 20s and 30s. Buddhism should provide a way for many people to benefit, develop, and be happy through online missionary methods.
