International Program ( MCU)

Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalay University,

Chiang Mai Campus, Thailand

In this University, (MCU) the study of International Program has two   programs which are Buddhism and Humanity taught by teachers from Thailand and other countries well known now a day for foreign monks from different countries. There are two semesters each year by having ten subjects in each semester from junior year to senior year in International program. Openly I say, in this university, all Buddhist monks should be studying year by year, so as to be understood by the teaching of the Buddha, and general knowledge given as well as they are sharing the main idea to be developed in all societies. This university is teaching to students by not only Buddhist teaching, but also other good information, or the system of education for modern monks to be missionary monks in future. The modern monks have understanding how to compare between societies and teaching, being able to serve to get the duty of the way of the Buddha in development way by studying here. The student monks who are from different countries are able to see all tradition and culture of Buddhist religion by learning together in the same class having class activities in every week to be able to participated as soon as possible.

Before to study in this university, new students should study basic English in four skills of writing, reading, speaking, and listening what they want to study here, on the other hand, it is necessary to study basic computer ( typing, Microsoft office word, or Microsoft power point), and  metric mathematics ( intersection etc) which are very important for the monk students. According to studying of Dhamma, doctrines, actually, the main of this university makes sure to be development of mental power to get higher knowledge, which is giving the way how to take meditation as a main idea, and to be able to support or work in societies as the Buddhist monks.

As a short speech of me, by studying which is great, but by the way, there is some difficulty for those who are studying here, because there are no enough rooms or hostel for the monks, so they have to stay in Thai temple as they are giving. Actually, the place for foreign monks is difficult, because the University could not place suitable room, which is making a little satisfied for all foreign monks.
