探討青少年正念教育與佛學義理的關聯性--以MindUP課程為主=An Investigation into Correlations between Mindfulness Education for Teenagers and Buddhist Thoughts: Based on the MindUP Curriculum
Owing to the culture, and the separation of politics and religion in the Western world, the Buddhist doctrine is almost invisible in the modern mindfulness education, and was replaced by the modern science and vocabulary, although the mindfulness training and education were actually originated from Buddhist doctrine. This thesis intends to explore the correlations between teen’s mindfulness training/education and Buddhist doctrine, using MindUP program, from the view point of Buddhist worldly rules and textbook analysis approaches. The purpose of this exploration is to elaborate these correlations to further understand the technical advancement and innovation of modern teen’s mindfulness education as well as to reveal the abundant resources of Buddhism, and how they were applied and shown. The correlations between MindUP mindfulness education and Buddhist doctrine, can be discussed in terms of the theory of consciousness stream and mental factor showed in Abhidhamma. The relevant canonical Buddhist doctrines involves satipaṭṭhāna, the seven enlightenment factors, careful attention, six bases, five aggregates, benefiting oneself and others, four immeasurables, four noble truths, gratitude, five hindrances, four ways of magnetizing, generosity, and the four foundations of mindfulness. From the mutual correlation, we would conclude that Buddhist doctrine can be a strong philosophical theory base for the modern mindfulness education; while the modern mindfulness training also provides a different approach for the Teens to experience the essence of Dharma and to improve a good quality of life.
