| 摘要 | This article examines the new transformation of Engaged Buddhism in social work. It gives an understanding about the models of socially engaged Buddhist NGOs within the wider context of contemporary civil society. It suggests that engaged Buddhist organizations bring many assets to social work because they have physical space, leadership, volunteers, and material resources and they are able to mobilize people around to function both spiritual and physical needs. Engaged Buddhist organization is a phenomenon that has grown steadily in Cambodia. Through three case examples, this paper attempts to ingrate their practices into new models of Buddhist social work. In this process, the engaged Buddhists can seek to understand the key principles of Buddhism that are of direct relevance to contemporary issues. It explains different dimensions of perspective and participation by engaged Buddhist NOGs. They construct the boundaries between missions and development work. Yet, they remain primary service providers in many development contexts. They make complex political decisions about fundraising and resource allocation, and these choices are affected by their efforts to balance between religious identity and strategic goals. There are three models I have suggested for Buddhist social work in Cambodia: first, recreation model is as to socialize the roles of Buddhist social work beyond formerly identified cultural boundary of practicing Buddhism in society. Second, reform model is an alternative modern Buddhist social work to perform in the middle way within Buddhist tradition vis-à-vis modernity. Finally, revision model is a modification in line with a traditionalist and conservative to practice within identified culture and tradition. These models are flexible in response to different contexts that identity of particular path of engaged Buddhism being empowered properly to take action in social work duty. |
