Organizing by the Krua Khai Ratsa Pra Dham Vinaya supporting and managing by the people who trust on Buddism Region that was the 23 times of the group organizing who confidence in the Buddha joined with very wonderful and valuable phenomenon that showed the Buddhist power of trust, intellectual and the respect sincerely for the Buddha’s teachings. Additionally there were 3 classes that the same as (18th – 22nd) seminar before; 1) the first class for monks who had more than 10 phansas; all PraKhun Chou would study the Dhamma Vinaya Pratripitaka clearly in many issues from the monks who are expertists in Pali Canon the teaching of the Buddha. 2) the second class for the less than 10 phansas monks and novices and 3) the third class for Ubasoks and Ubasikas (men, women and students) who were trustful and interested in teaching of Buddha. Each class there were about more than 100-120 persons. The seminar occurred during 13-19 July, 2018. There were the 10 monks from Laoes, Cambodia, German, Burma and Vietnam, too. That’s difference from the last 6 years before. 2. The guidelines for developing this project there should be: 2.1 There are many serious events happened for destroy the Buddhist religion during the last 7 (2013–2019)years continuously so the participation from the government officials, the private section or the government organizations for the raised improvement on the protection or preserve 4 Lecturers of Faculty of Education and Liberal Arts, College of Asian Scholars the Buddhist religion, there must be any supported and more truly interested and took more actions or activities on any marvelous or good model or the tradition value of Thai culture, especially like this seminar project continuously formally and systemly so as to participate, support and empower the morality of the team management of the foundation of Krue Kai Bhuddistsm Raksa Pradham Vinaya and the people who joined and trained or practiced or raksa Sila,phawana the teaching of the Buddha in order to preserve and protect the Buddhist religion sustainability for setting 23 times since 1996 until 2019 B.E. of this monk-group network. 2.2 There must be continued doing this project in order to do or practice or train the mind selves following the Pali Canon that the network team manager tried to set and organized for next year, the 24th valuable project at Phutthamonthon Nakhonpathom province, Thailand, in 2020, and should act more stronger, and more interesting. 2.3 The important problems or the obstacles happened and should be solved them in the future, the organizing of the team project managers and staff should done more training especially for people or students or teenagers who interested in this project because of the changing of the mored rapidly there quite be a little time for training “Dhamma” in daily lives and surely there were many things for improving and practicing for real lives. As a whole this 23rd seminar successed completely and successfully by the participation of the team managers and the supporting people. 2.4 The outstanding image of the 23rd Vinaya seminar at Wat Phrathart Nong Sam Mun, Chaiyaphoom province, Thailand. 2.4.1 The wonderful, valuable situation, we can see more than 300 monks, novices and Buddhism people joined together to learn the teaching of Buddha that made people feel trustful and peaceful mind when they trained and learned the teaching. This project suited for the monks and people who intened to study the Vinaya, surely that the same as the 6 years before. 2.4.2 There were many trustful monks from Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, German and Four Assemblies who believe, respect and trust on the Tripitaka and behaved themselves by Vinaya of the Buddha came to join this event together once a year and the 24th seminar project will be set at Phutthamonthon Nakhonpathom province, Thailand during 2-10 July, 2020. Everyone who joined this wonderful, valuable and great Buddhist event was the same believable and trustful mind on the Buddha’s teachings. 2.4.3 This year, 2019, this team will be changed to Krau Khai Raksa Phra Dham Vinaya Foundation. That’s the important progress. 2.5 The guidelines for development; the monks, novices, people, teachers or local officials in nearby community or provinces should be more interested in participation and learned in classes at the full time in order to gain more knowledge training and experience about the Buddha’s teaching from the monks who intended to teach and were the expertists in Pali Canon teaching of The Buddha. That’s very difficult to set this Buddhist seminar. 2.6 The academic team did the best duty of teaching however should try more increasing the ability on presentation and focus on the Tripitaka, and try to build the faithful, the conscious mind, the canon, the meditation and the wisdom and to protect Buddhist religion for to a long time especially for training more “Dhama” to the people for the worldwide society today and in the future sustainably and peacefully lastly. 3. The learning from 2013 -2019 seminars Buddha teaching for 6 years we have learnt this project were as follows : 3.1 All states of being are determined by mind. It is mind that leads the ways. As surely as our shadow never leaves us, so well-being will follow when we speak or act with a pure state of mind. (Dhp. 2) 3.2 The mind is so hard to see, so very, very subtle, alighting wherever it likes. The wise should guard it. The mind protected brings ease. (Dhp. 36) 3.3 Life inevitably to death. Our time is short. From decay there is no escape. Reflecting on death in this way and scorning worldly bait, seek final peace. (Sn. 1.3) 3.4 The mind is hard to hold down, swiftly moving, alighting wherever it likes. Its taming is good. The mind well-tamed bring ease. (Dhp. 36) 3.5 Keep your distance from fools and listen to the wise. Make merit day and night and remember impermanence. (Budgh) 3.6 Hunger is the worst disease, conditioned things the worst suffering. Knowing this as it really is the wise realize Nibbana, the highest bliss. (Dhp. 203) 3.7 Every cleansing of the heart is a taste of peace. 3.8 Just water’s strength can be seen when it fails from a great height so is humility the measure of a man’s integrity. 3.9 They whose minds are well-developed in the factors of self-awakening who delight in the shedding of attachments and are purified they are resplendent and unbound in the world. (Dhp. 89) 3.10 Peace is the product of carefully observing the mind without wishing to be any different. 3.11 Free from running after the future and free from sorrow over the past, even in the minds of sensory bombardment the wise person remains calm and cannot be led astray. (Sn. 4.10) 3.12 Blissful is solitude for one who is content who has heard the Dhamma, who sees. Blissful is refraining from harming all living beings. Blissful is dispassionate about worldly affairs, the overcoming of sensuality. But conquering the conceit of I’m that is truly the ultimate bliss. (Ud. 2.1) 4. The study from the Pali Canon is where the Teacher of all Buddhists resides, as the Doctrine and Discipline which the Buddha said would be his successor after his Final Nibbana, are enshrined in it. The results found that : 1) we can have an audience with, or get to know the Budda through his words preserved in the Pali Canon, 2) the Pali Canon is the source of concept related to various fields of study, as the teaching in the Doctrine and and Discipline are related to, or inclusive of many different disciplines such as psychology, law, governance and economies, to name a few, 3) we should therefore be alerted to the threat and join forces to tackle it by promoting proper practice based on the true teachings, which we must help preserve in the pristine state. In fact, it is high time for Buddhists to be rehabilitated, i.e. : to be directed back to the course of the Dhamma and Vinaya, and take up a serious study of the Pali Canon from this time, we can conclude that, as long as the Pali Canon exists so will Buddhism – the original authentic Buddhism. Hence, as long as the Pali Cannon is there, we will still have a chance to get to know Buddhism and derive the genuine benefits that are available from this noble religion, 4) it’s hope that the Pali Tipitaka will become the vehicle, like a Buddhism missionary who travels far and wide, for expounding the Dhamma, which in beautiful is the beginning, beautiful in the end, in accordance with the Buddhism’s instruction for the first batch of his principles to proclaim the teaching so as to attain the goal of expanding the welface and happiness of the multitude to cover the entire populace of the world for many years to come.
