摘要
After a half decade of establishment, LBU intended to conduct Master level degree courses in five different subjects including Applied Buddhism. LBU organized a seminar in 2010 AD which was aimed to develop and prescribe the curriculum of the subjects. At that seminar outlines of curriculum of Applied Buddhism were presented. After sometime, LBU finalized curriculum for MA in Applied Buddhism. Subsequently MA in Applied Buddhism was introduced in Lotus Academic College, an affiliated College of LBU which has produced three batches of MA graduates in Applied Buddhism. The concept of Applied Buddhism is not the consequences of research on Buddhist Studies. Rather it was conceived by efforts of some (very limited) socially motivated and service oriented Buddhist Teachers, Buddhist practitioners and scholars who have introduced Engaged or Socially Engaged Buddhism, Neo-Buddhism, Green Buddhism, etc which seem to be prototypes of Applied Buddhism. In fact Applied Buddhism was a new form of Buddhist practice which was initially not conceptualized as the subject of academic study nor the subject of conferring the degree.
