The Impact of Dhamma Quiz Competitions on Youth : หน้า 96/232

Even though each Quiz Competition may last only one day, young participants will still have to spend quite some time studying Dhamma before hand. They in turn absorb Dhamma into their mind without knowing it. This positively affects their train of thought, speech and action accordingly. The students will start to use Dhamma as the proper guideline for their way of life, apart from drugs and bad temptations. Besides, they will also make themselves useful to society and country. The Dhamma Quiz Programme called ‘Path of Progress’ has been a strong stimulus for our students to become alert in Dhamma studies, which subsequently has effects on the development of their viewpoints and moral behaviour. We find that most young contestants who participate in the quiz will improve at school, and respect their teachers and parents more. They also exhibit more positive attitudes towards people, and are better behaved than groups who never participated in the quiz Programme. Dr. Nath Pantumanawin, Assistant Professor, and the research team of Kasetsart University, based on the reflection of the research of Dhamma quiz “Path of Progress”, have found that it helps to improve the behaviour of the student in society. The administrator and the organiser of this project agreed that this is the activity that gives the best result from their hard work.
