Abstract | This researcharticleattemptsto findout a new model of bodhisattvaidealin ThichNhat Hanh’s Socially Engaged Buddhism (SEB). Themethodology of this paper is qualitative consisting of documentary and in-depth interview methods of four key informants who are the closest disciples of Thich Nhat Hanh. The data analysis involvesboth content and interview analyses. The findings show thatthe bodhisattva ideal in Mahāyānascripturesis aimed to dissectthe bodhisattva concept and the practices of two typical bodhisattvas –Mañjuśrīand Avalokiteśvara. Thich Nhat Hanh has revived the notion of typical bodhisattva through the spirit of Socially Engaged Buddhism which is manifesting in four fields: education, social services, peacemaking, and the building of Plum Villages. The new model of bodhisattva ideal in his SEB is called the SMS model –that is Śila–the mindfulness training, Maitri–loving-kindness and Smṛti(or Sati) –mindfulness meditation. This SMS model helps the Buddha’s teachings and the Buddhist practices lead all human beings to happiness of this world and future lives. |
