포스트 코로나, 불교 포교의 변환에 대한 소고

Abstract

Corona took place from February 2020. The COVID-19 epidemic, regarding which it had been thought that it will disappear soon, did not end. And it is seen that it will continue for a long time period in the future. These days, how to prepare for after Corona on the part of not only the economy, the society, and the culture, but, also, the religious circle is a pivotal point. Even if this COVID-19 abates in the future, too, the possibility of yet another virus taking place is big. As the untact society has become longterm in the overall society, individually, the anxiety and the blue depression have been getting rampant, and the economy, also, has been continuing to get stagnant. As such, a Buddhist transformation point that will break through the heavy air of the COVID-19 epidemic must be sought after. Regarding the Buddhist circle at the present, the number of the believers has been getting reduced. And it is the reality in which the home leavers have, also, been reduced. At such a time point, because the Corona epidemic has occurred, the Buddhist temples have been receiving the economic blows. Among the Buddhist temples, the self-saving measures have been deliberated at the presentation places. And the Buddhist monks, too, have been preparing a new propagation medium for overcoming the present era. But, a Buddhist practice method that fits the chord of the modern people and not a material replacement method must be developed. Furthermore, the Buddha must save the mankind. And, with a wish that is directed toward the mankind, which had been had by the great monks, the future of the propagation of the Buddhism must be pursued.
