Method Guideline Salika Deshana of Preaching Introduced by Wat Prayurawongsawas

Abstract

         Preaching is a method of propagating Buddhism that the Buddha had practiced throughout his life. And presently, the teaching or teaching method is still the main principle in propagating Buddhism and preserving Buddhism. The goal is for the benefit and happiness of the public mass. For this reason, Wat Prayurawongsawas Woravihan has determined to maintain the principles and methods of propagating Buddhism with outstanding preaching methods from the beginning of Rattanakosin Period to the present day to make it apparently clear that both the Kingdom and the Buddhachakra are satisfied with the preaching of Salika style to feed the devotees and followers with their unique characteristics and admiration for traditions. There is a religious policy that “Fishing outside, joining the ten directions, making friends throughout the world, managing wisdom, like a Salika bird feeding her babies with the bait”. The Salika method of preaching is in accordance with the four Buddhist teaching methods: Santhassana, with Clarity, Samadapana, with Motivation for Faith, Samuttechana: With courage, confidence, and ability to do it. Predominantly in the middle is Concentration, pointing the way in the end is Wisdom.
