Religious Pluralism

Introduction

There is much religious conflict in some countries, including Myanmar, currently. Hence, there is no way to get peace between religions. The conflict spreads out among represent the children, new generations of the country to be developed. A religious discrimination that appeared from outdated religious beliefs of the older generation makes the situation worse. I am sad for that as a teacher. My students who are very religious in my class motivate me to study about different religions. I want to put them on the right path. We can guide them away from conflict by teaching togetherness, as students spend more time with teachers than they do with their parents. Now, we need to have a new mindset when it comes to religion particularly in Myanmar which is still running with old methods. People are trying to change it. I am one of them.

Belief system

As I believe in Buddhism and Christianity, I am taught about both very well so that if the program accepts me, I will be a good contributor about my religions. I will not be shy in sharing about these religions. Religion is very emotional for us. If I have a chance to join in this program, I will not let emotions guide me, but will teach students about religion as an academic subject. I do not want my students to get wrong information. I will explain to them that every religion offers a “right way” with different paths. Although I am an educated person, I do not know about different religions in details. Therefore, I need to learn about that firstly. Religion is not only a part of our life, also a part of country. I believe my efforts will be useful for my country, by sharing what I learn in YSEALI with Myanmar’s new generations.
