한국의 힙불교 시대, 여성 재가불자의 새로운 역할과 리더십

초록

This paper proposes a new role and leadership of lay Buddhist women in the modern trend of ‘Hip Buddhism’. Therefore, he proposed eight roles and five leadership styles for lay women. The first eight points emphasized the new role of lay Buddhists by saying, "Strengthening the use of new technologies and platforms in the digital age, promoting peace and harmony, building communities through connection with local communities, spreading mindfulness and meditation, fulfilling the role of educators, strengthening Buddhist values through culture and arts, international exchange through global networks, and pursuing institutional change through policy proposals and social participation." Therefore, we proposed five types of leadership, first, creative communication leadership. It refers to the role of using digital technology and modern media to easily convey Buddhist teachings to the public. This creative way of communicating helps the younger generation feel more familiar with Buddhism and contributes to restructuring Buddhist teachings to meet the problems of modern society. Second, inclusive leadership. It refers to the role of embracing diverse people by reconstructing the values of compassion and equality in Buddhism from a modern perspective. It plays an important role in solving various problems and issues in modern society. Third, community-based leadership plays a role in solving community problems and leading development through close connection with the local community. These activities play an important role in building trust in Buddhism within local communities and strengthening solidarity with them. Fourth, psychological and spiritual healing leadership focuses on reducing stress and anxiety and addressing mental health issues. These programs support the inner stability of individuals and have a positive impact on the community as a whole. Fifth, modern educational leadership is intended to reinterpret traditional Buddhist philosophies and teachings in a contemporary context and effectively convey them to the public. This paper confirms the need to reconsider the modern role and leadership of lay Buddhist women in the era of hip Buddhism, proposes alternatives for this, and lays the foundation for Buddhism to establish itself as a sustainable religion.
