This study focused on the inner experiences of Alms-giving (dāna) in Buddhist Practitioner. Based on the buddhist Alms-giving (dāna) perspectives, the theories of altruism and altruistic behavior in social psychology are discussed. Through purposive sampling and semi-structured in-depth interviews, five Alms-giving (dāna) practitioner were interviewed. Their inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the process of alms-giving action were acquired through interviews, and analyzed with the techniques based on qualitative research methods.
The connotations of the Alms-giving (dāna) practice were summarized in the following four points:
1. Alms-giving (dāna) practice starts by following the master’s teachings.
2. The removal of attachment (upadana) is the core value of Alms-giving (dāna) practice.
3. Alms-giving (dāna) practice’s faith includes the heritage of compassion and wisdom.
4. the inner transformation of the Alms-giving (dāna) practice is to achieve the joy of removing attachment (upadana).
These conclusions could help counselors reflect and learn something from such beliefs and attitudes during their professional work. |
