Volunteer Opportunities in Buddhist Activities : หน้า 92/232

Volunteer s for Buddhist Work Project Luang Phaw Dhammajayo has created many activities to provide opportunities for younger people to come into closer touch with Buddhism at the temple, especially on important religious days. Many times, large numbers of people come to join sacred events and each time, we carry out our mission successfully with the aid of volunteer workers who come to help and serve as facilitators for visitors. It is because of their dedication and sacrifice that we can not do without them. Volunteers are generally students who, encouraged by their parents or teachers, come and help out at the temple on weekends or whenever they are off from school. Volunteers not only help the temple carry out many successful projects, but also learn ethical concepts through sacrifice, respect, humility and responsibility, when working as a team. They also learn through compassion and hard work to advocate Buddhism. When these volunteers finish their education and start earning a living, many of them still come back and spend their free time by continuing volunteer work at the temple. They also coach future generations of volunteers there. This is why currently there are about 10,000 volunteers from all walks of life. Luang Phaw Dhammajayo creates better younger generations and is still able to maintain the best of former generations of volunteers, with a strong moral base that will last forever.
