Call for Academic Articles

Every year since the resolution passed by the United Nation’s General Assembly on 15 December 1999 - the thrice-sacred day of Vesak (celebrating the birth, enlightenment and passing away of the Buddha Gotama) is celebrated internationally. The International Council for the Day of Vesak has been granted Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council since 2013 – to honor commitments, the 11th United Nations Day of Vesak celebrations will take upon: “Buddhism and the UN Millennium Development Goals”, as the general theme of the 2014 UNDV Conference.

This is a call for papers for the 2014 United Nations Day of Vesak (UNDV) Celebrations and Academic Conference to be hosted by the National Vietnam Buddhist Sangha and will be held in Bai Dinh Temple, Vietnam, from 7-11 May 2014. Additional support for the conference is coming from Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University in Thailand, and the International Association of Buddhist Universities. 

The conference and celebrations are expected to draw a gathering of 10000 people - including 1500 Buddhist leaders, Buddhist scholars and Buddhist practitioners from all of the Buddhist traditions around the world, and 8500 from Vietnam.

The academic conference will be held on the second day of events (9 May 2014), and will be again organized through the International Association of Buddhist Universities (IABU) in collaboration with National Vietnam Buddhist Sangha.

Bài viết này chỉ là những suy nghĩ rời. Nói theo ngôn ngữ thường dùng là viết theo thể văn tản mạn. Nghĩa là, không phải sắp xếp, lý luận theo một hệ thống. Bài viết khởi lên từ cuộc nói chuyện rời trong khi ngồi trên xe của nhạc sĩ Tâm Nhuận Phúc Doãn Quốc Hưng từ Quận Cam tới tham dự một Phật sự tại Riverside, California.
Có rất nhiều thông tin trái ngược nhau về đậu nành: Nó có tốt cho sức khỏe không? Nó có nguy hiểm không? Và nếu ăn được thì tại sao một số người lại nói là không?
Là Phật tử, ai cũng muốn tìm hiểu Đạo Phật để thực hành cho đúng đắn ; nhưng Phật Giáo thật mênh mông, như lá cây trong rừng : học cái chi đây ? bắt đầu từ đâu ? Cả đời người chắc cũng không học hết được. Mỗi người tùy theo phương tiện, chí hướng, ý thích, điều kiện, mà đặt trọng tâm trên một hay vài địa hạt nghiên cứu.
