MANAGEMENT OF PALI STUDIES EDUCATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

The study of Pali is considered the heart of the education of monks and novices, which affects the stability of Buddhism because the Tripitaka is recorded in Pali. Studying Pali prevents the teachings of the Lord Buddha from deviating. Therefore, studying Pali also helps to elevate the qualifications of monks and novices to be honorable, have a higher status, be valuable in society, and prepare for living in the current society in the 21st century. The education of the Thai Sangha has been improved and developed to be in line with the needs of the era, including the use of technology in teaching, skill development, the use of technology in teaching, and the use of digital media such as teaching videos, online learning systems, or knowledge-enhancing applications, which will help make teaching and learning about Pali easier to access and understand.
