【路透社上海8月4日电】题:中国和尚为应对激烈竞争学习新技能
过去在中国,如果一个人虔诚、懂佛经,他就可以成为一名和尚。现在,他还要懂电脑和外语,并且具有金融管理方面的学位。
在这个竞争异常激烈、发展迅速的国家,在一些地区佛教也像其他大多数事物一样,成为一种重要的商业活动。于是出现了一种新型和尚:他们是多面手,懂技术,希望改善自己的地位。
上海玉佛寺寺务处副主任慧觉法师说:“我们招人的过程竞争很激烈。”最近,他在知名学府上海交通大学修完了 MBA 课程。玉佛寺位于上海市闹市区,至今已有120年的历史。
玉佛寺已经保送15名和尚到上海外国语大学进修英语,还有一批和尚开始在上海交通大学商学院学习M BA课程。
慧觉法师认为,对于玉佛寺来说,掌握这些技能实有必要,因为玉佛寺要在现代世界传播佛教教义,管理越来越多的商业事务。
除了寺院,玉佛寺还拥有一家素食餐馆、一家四星级旅馆、一座7层办公楼和一家食品加工厂。
中国的大多数寺庙几乎没有受到时代的任何影响,特别是在这个国家的偏远地区。但是,玉佛寺的现代做法已经逐渐变得平常。例如,河南省古老的少林寺以少林武术闻名遐迩。少林寺接待了富有魅力的国际客人,还在世界各地进行功夫表演。
少林寺开办了一所武术学校,并成立了少林开发股份有限公司。该公司生产素食小吃等食品。少林寺还同娱乐公司合作,摄制电影和制作网上游戏。
玉佛寺的慧觉法师说:“我的日常工作第一件事就是打开电脑,查看电子邮件和上网。玉佛寺的各种事情现在都是在网上处理。现在已经实现了无纸办公。如果有谁没有通过电脑考试,他们就得下岗,另找一份不坐办公室的工作。”
