"Recently, I had the idea to build up a youth group, who
applies the teachings and practice of the Buddha into their daily lives to cultivate the beauty and virtue within themselves in order to build up a healthy society. Nowadays there are so many youth groups who are active in helping the society, i.e. reducing famine and poverty, fighting for social justice, stopping global warming, but there is not a youth group yet who make life more beautiful through an ethical and spiritual aspiration.
Young people need an ideal in life, an ideal of love and
compassion. We have to live in such a way to maintain our physical and mental health, to transform our suffering and strong emotions such as violence, anger, despair and desire and cultivate the seeds of understanding, love, joy and happiness.
Therefore the foundation of this youth group's practice are
the 5 Mindfulness Trainings, a concrete expression and practice of love and compassion. Practicing the 5 MTs, suffering can be relieved and peace and happiness can be possible in this world. If young people practice like that they will be able to bring happiness to themselves and their families, and with this ability they will have the capacity to build up a healthy and compassionate society."
