The Effectiveness of Buddhist Propagation in the ASEAN Community

Abstract

The Buddhist propagation should be on the proactive approach to convince
those who do not have faith in Buddhism will have it, and those who have already had
the faith in Buddhism will gain more admirable. The propagation of Buddhism in the
ASEAN community is the burden of monks, nuns, lay-men and lay-women. The
propagation of Buddhism depends on the faith as the foundation.
In the Buddhist propagation to ASEAN community, monks have to adjust their
communication strategies to meet the target audience, i.e. language skills in local
languages and foreign languages such as English, Chinese, Japanese, Khmer, and Lao.
