Abstract | In the modern day, as the technology is quickly advancing human connectivity around the world. This is evident from everyday devises such as the cell phone, computer and micro phone. Even now I use a computer to write this article. Most of the people in the world have to use technology in their lives. Although this increases the social aspect humanity, we have to a lack of spiritual substance. This process is material without spiritual process. People are using technological material in their economic, educational and politi-cal. Can we explore these factors without losing spiritual progress and human etiquette to maintain our honestly, harmony, compassion and loving-kindness in the human society? The Buddha’s teaching described material and spiritual progress and which one is the most important in our lives. Therefore, in order to solve the losing spiritual progress, we have to practice compassion, harmony and to share the knowledge by using technological materials. Technology cannot make people lack spiritual substance but users can make fake informa-tion easily from technology. So, we need to share information with right view and thought when using social networks. This article purposes Buddhist teaching as a way to solve the lack of spiritual progress and to maintain human etiquette in the human society. |
