Outline of Final Research Achievements

A census-type field research of Buddhist temples (400) in several sub-districts in Sri Lanka found the fact that various social activities similar to Western-rooted professional social work had widely prevailed among Theravada monks. The obtained data and information are utilized for the curriculum design and operation of a new university which provides monks with the education of Buddhist social work which is different from Western social work.
The whole research process found such surmative general themes to discuss in the macro-level PBR (Practice-based Research) as (a) external disturbances and especially their relation with the shifts of needs (research purpose/goal), (b) the respect of practice/practitioner's interest, will and choice and its disturbance to scientificness. (Rigorousness, etc.).
