摘要
The purpose for this research is to probe into identity development through Xing-Men course from Life Education perspective. The subjects were students from College of Buddhist studies (CBS). The important stage for identity formation is during adolescence. Therefore, the students from age 18 to 22 were chosen as subjects for this research. Through the semi-depth interview, and participant observation, results showed that students had developed a positive attitude towards their identity crisis. Students managed to over come their challenges, discovering their emotions, feelings and also shortcomings. CBS provided an environment where students could apply Buddhism into practical practices. There are still changes towards the curriculum of Xing Men course, because CBS was only found for two years. Therefore, the identity development out come of Xing Men could only be focused on the second year students. Due to the reason that there are no graduate students as yet, some of the students showed uncertainty towards their future plans. However, some interviewees are willing to search for a future plan that could merge their interests and Buddhism.
