Borobudur 

in Indonesia…. 

Borobudur, is a 9th century Mahayana Buddhist temple 

in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, as well as the world's 

largest Buddhist temple, and also one of the greatest Buddhist 

monuments in the world. The temple consists of nine stacked 

platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central 

dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 

504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 

Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa. 

Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra 

Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist 

architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult 

of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining 

Nirvana. 

The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha 

and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims 

begins at the base of the monument and follows a path 

around the monument and ascends to the top through three 

levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology Kāmadhātu (the world 

of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu 

(the world of formlessness). 

The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive 

system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief 

panels on the walls and the balustrades. Borobudur has the 

largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the 

world. 

Borobudur has since been preserved through several 

restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken 

between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and 

UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a 

UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year, 

Buddhists in Indonesia celebrates Vesak at the monument, 

and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist 

attraction.

Bodhisattva 

Samantabhadra Bestows 

Blessings Widely. CYBA 

Aspires Endeavors 

Tirelessly. 

- Chinese Young Buddhist Association (CYBA) - 

Background 

Chinese Young Buddhist Association (CYBA) was formed 

by a group of outstanding young monks and laypeople in 

1989. In this new century, CYBA aims to be the springboard of 

learning and sharing for young Buddhists. 

The Purpose of CYBA 

Through channeling younger generation into learning 

and practicing Buddhism as well as unity and cooperation of 

four-folds Buddhist (Buddhist monks, Buddhist nuns, laymen 

and laywomen), CYBA hopes to ensure the continuum of 

Buddhism on Earth. 

Through the training of Buddhist Dharma preachers 

and wisely utilizing new media and latest technologies CYBA 

hopes to spread the teachings of Buddha around the globe. 

Through purifying the minds and providing support 

services to people, CYBA hopes to promote social harmony 

and bring abundance of love and satisfaction to oneself and 

the society. 

Through the promotion of moral education and provide 

guidance to people who have deviant behaviors, CYBA hopes 

to install the values of virtue in the modern society. 

Through channeling younger generation into community 

services, CYBA hopes our youths will step forward and serve 

the community. 

The Consensus of CYBA 

Concept - Guiding young generation to learn Buddha 

dharma. Enhancing the quality of religious life. 

Spirits - Manifesting the compassion and concern for 

life. Improving public welfare with great kindness. 

Guide Principle - The belief of pure-land on earth. 

Unifying fourfold assembly. 

Method - Coordinating efforts and resources of different 

monasteries and organizations to work together. 

School Outreach Program 

Since the year 1996, CYBA has been actively involved 

in giving public talks at the schools and tertiary institutions 

across the island. CYBA reaches out to students studying in 

Taiwan. Through lively and humorous talks, we were able to 

reach out to our schooling youths. 

In this so-called e-generation, the youth are busy with 

technology to pursue entertainment, lifestyle and fashion. 

The goals of these talks are to establish morality, good 

interpersonal interaction skills, concern for others, altruism 

and voluntarism in our youths. Our efforts have received 

acknowledgements from various schools around the island. 

Prison Counseling 

From 1991, CYBA has been organizing prison outreach 

and counseling on a monthly basis. Monks and nuns living in 

the vicinity such institutions are invited to provide care and 

counseling for the detainees and inmates. Our efforts have 

been warmly received and were given encouraging reviews 

from both the prison superintendents and inmates alike. 

In the dark confines of the prison, under the gloom of 

the overcast hearts, CYBA brings to them the light of Buddha’s 

compassion and loving-kindness, radiating and brightening 

their lives. 

Social Services 

Employing ethics, encouraging good cultural and 

traditional values as a tool to uplift the mentality of our 

youth, CYBA organizes the Chinese Calligraphy and Literature 

Competition, Tang Dynasty Poetry & Songs Contest. These 

activities are intended as a way to learn while enjoying and 

entertaining oneself. They have helped youths with behavioral 

problems to progress. 

We have organizes blood donation drives & to relief 

those under emotional distress, CYBA conducts ceremonies 

such as sutra chanting for the victims of the earthquake either 

in domestic and foreign. CYBA had also set up the fund raising 

for Si-Chuan (China), Haiti and Japan for helping recovering 

from earthquake damage. 

Concern for the Youths 

CYBA has organized more than 50 summer & winter 

holiday camps for those studying in tertiary institutions. 

Within these camps, the participants were given instructions 

in living and leadership skills as well as to inculcate Buddha’s 

compassion within their hearts. 

International Relations 

CYBA is a member of World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth 

(WFBY). We try to leaping across international boundaries, 

connecting us with the world; we are establishing the bridge 

of friendship and goodwill to all. Let loving-kindness and 

compassionate spirit extends freely all living in this global 

village. 

Prospection 

In the spirit of Buddha’s Compassion to serve the world; 

CYBA has for a long time worked with the youths focusing 

on “education” & “re-education” of our society & to correct 

social ills. Through the application of Buddha’s wisdom & 

compassion in one’s heart & using that to transform the 

society into an orderly & peaceful environment. 

The future of CYBA is in providing social reform, education 

& counseling for all. CYBA is always ready to collaborate with 

other organizations to spread peace & harmony in the society 

and to transform our world into a Pure land. 

Achievements to Date 

From 1991 to 2010, CYBA has thirteen consecutive years 

received the Interior Ministry’s special award for excellence in 

providing social services. 

In 1996, we received the China Youth Peace Corp’s 

“Service to Peace” award. Same year, the Legislative Council 

awarded CYBA for active participation in the prison’s 

reformative education and parole guidance services. 

In the March of 1997, the Executive Legislative Council’s 

Youth Guidance Bureau lauded CYBA with its award for 

“Excellent Young Volunteers”. 

In year of 1998, 2003 and 2006, the Ministry of Education 

presented CYBA with the award for “Great Contribution to 

Education”. 

In 2005, CYBA has won the “National Public Welfare” 

Award. 

In 2011, CYBA has won “the 3rd Outstanding Buddhism 

Contribution Award” from Thailand Government. 

In 2012, WFBY presented CYBA with the award for “

In 2014, WFBY presented CYBA with the award for “ 

World Buddhist Outstanding Leadership Award”. 

In 2016, CYBA was awarded with the Global Peace 

Ambassador Award by International Buddha Education 

Institute and Younker Scientific and Social Science Research,

CYBA was awarded with ‘Journalist Bimalendu Barua 

Peace Award’ by Nirvana Peace Foundation (NPF) in 

Bangladesh In 2016. 

In 2016, CYBA was awarded with ‘Enviro Care 

Responsible Organization Award’ presented at Enviro Care 

Summit, Dehradun-India. 

These awards are evidence of the time, effort and 

resources invested by CYBA. These awards have further 

inspired CYBA to continue to serve the society and strive to 

better humanity..! 

“Mettavalokanaya”, as the Sri Lankan leading monthly 

Buddhist Magazine, wish to Most Venerable Dr. Bhiksuni 

Ming Yu, the President - Chinese Young Buddhist Association 

in Taiwan & the Honorary Adviser of the World Fellowship 

of Buddhist Youth (WFBY) and Chinese Young Buddhist

“Propagation of 

Dharma is essential 

to a Bhikkhu”… 

- Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero - 

“Mettavalokanaya”, the Sri Lankan leading monthly 

Buddhist Magazine, newly & first time presented in Sri 

Lankan Buddhist magazine style that introducing overseas 

Most Venerable Buddhist High Monk or Most Venerable High 

Bhiksuni who famous in the worldwide. 

Today, Mettavalokanaya introducing for you, Most 

Venerable Sung Jin Thero, the Executive Director of 

“Paramita” Youth Association of Korea and Vice President of 

World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth (WFBY). This article is full 

filled with Most Venerable Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero’s 

biography & Dhamma service by birth up to date. 

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero was born in summer of 

1970, from an ordinary Buddhist family in Busan, Korea. Most 

Venerable Sung Jin Thero’s mother believed her prayer to 

Buddha granted her a son, so she started to go to monasteries 

more often after Sung Jin Thero’s birth. Venerable Sung Jin 

Thero grew up in the religious environment, waking up to 

the sound of reciting sutra, visiting temples holding mother’s 

hand. 

In 1991, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero was admitted to 

Dongguk University, founded by the Jogye Order, to major in 

Buddhism. On the second year of college, Sung Jin Thero was 

elected as the student representative of College of Buddhist 

Studies. At that time, the political situation in Korea was very 

unstable facing democratization. 

Venerable Sung Jin Thero also participated in 

demonstrations, but the Thero grew tired of judging and 

discriminating people according to their political beliefs. 

During on those times, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero met 

Venerable Wolsung, who later became his master, in the early 

spring of 1993. 

When Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero bowed to him 

three times and sat, tears started rolling down the Thero’s 

face. Venerable Sung Jin Thero suddenly had realized how 

selfishly he had lived his whole life. Then he asked from 

Venerable Sung Jin Thero’s a question. 

“What is this thing that asks questions and gives answers 

to me? 

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero didn’t have any answer 

to the question. A few days later he became a Buddhist monk, 

desiring to find the answer to the question, under Venerable 

Wolsung. Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero devoted in his self to 

Buddhism at Sungkwansa, with his master till the summer of 

1997 and he became a military Buddhist chaplain in Republic 

of Korea Air Force, an officer that serves a spiritual need 

within a military area of operations. 

The year’s Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero spent as a 

military chaplain was an important time for me as he became 

more interested in the propagation of Dharma towards the 

younger generation. After 3 years, Venerable Sung Jin Thero 

was discharged as a captain and went back to Sungkwansa as 

an abbot. 

The first thing Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero did as an 

abbot was finding a small place in the town and building a 

student union to teach Dharma to students. Then Venerable 

Sung Jin Thero worked with a local high school to create a 

scholarship named with his mentor’s nom de plume and 

started the first Buddhist club at the school. 

Later, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero decided to study 

English because he felt the need to learn the language to be 

able to communicate with the younger generations of the 

world and spent a few years in New Zealand and the United 

Kingdom. 

Afterward, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero practiced 

Seon in Baekyangsa Unmoon Seonwon which is one of very 

famous meditation monastery for 3 years and later took a 

position as a director in Jogyesa, the head temple of the Jogye 

Order in Korea. 

During Venerable Sung Jin Thero time in Jogyesa, He also 

took up a role as a manager for the college student club and the 

young adult club and pondered upon how they should reach 

out to the younger generations. With the college student club, 

they ran a fundraiser and created an international volunteer 

group within Jogyesa. 

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero stayed with the young 

adults in Jogyesa for seven years and learned the hardships 

that today’s younger generations face in everyday life and also 

realized that it is monks’ duty to help them find wisdom and 

energy within themselves to overcome the hardships. 

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero have been using various 

mass media to communicate with more people and to 

propagate Dharma. For the past 3 years, Most Venerable Sung 

Jin Thero had hosted the faith counselling radio program on 

BBS (Buddhism Broadcasting System). 

Since March.2016, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero has 

lectured easily how to practice and apply Dharma in our daily 

life on BBS TV program. The program name is “Happiness 

Gongyanggan”. It is a name of a kitchen of a Buddhist 

monastery. 

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero believe getting to work 

with “Paramita” Youth Association, which was created by 

the Jogye Order for the sole purpose of serving the younger 

generations was Buddha’s blessing. 

Also, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero gained a tremendous 

hope and courage for the future of our younger generations of 

the world that the members of Sangha and lay people around 

the world could come together during 2016 WFBY Convention 

under Buddha’s mercy. 

Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero currently preparing for 

the “Paramita” International Youth Camp in Ulsan Korea for 

the first time as an executive director. Most Venerable Sung Jin 

Thero determined to devote by himself to the congregation so 

that the youth of the world gather around and communicate 

with each other regardless of ethnicity and nationality and 

coordinate towards a better future through the peaceful mind. 

Also, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero wish that the 

members of World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth (WFBY) could 

collaborate to create an annual international youth volunteer 

gathering to help other Buddhist nations in need. 

Lastly, Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero would like to 

emphasize that propagation of Dharma is essential for monks 

through a quote in Samyutta Nikaya that he give to newly 

ordained monks. 

According to the Samyutta Nikaya, “Teach, O bhikkhus, 

the Dhamma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle, 

good in the end, with the right meaning and phrasing. Reveal 

the perfectly complete and purified holy life. There are beings 

with little dust in their eyes that are falling away because 

they do not hear the Dhamma. There will be those who will 

understand the Dhamma.” 

The Buddha said: 

“Pamojjabahulo Bhikku - Pasanno Buddhasasane 

Adhigacche Padam Santam -Sankharupasamam Sukham” 

(Bhikku Vaggo - Dhammapadaya) 

The Bhikkhu who is full of delight and is pleased in the 

Dhamma will realize that blissful State - the happiness that is 

born of the cessation of conditioned things. 

“Mettavalokanaya”, as the Sri Lankan leading monthly 

Buddhist Magazine, wish to Most Venerable Sung Jin Thero 

for his brighter future success as a Buddhist High Monk in 

the Buddhism. “Sukai Deegauko Bawa” - Live long life full of 

health, happiness & success..!!

The Vortex 

(Diya Suliya) 

A vortex or a whirlpool is formed in a river or in the sea 

when a current flowing at high velocity comes against fluid 

that is stationary. One can see these in the sea or in any river 

that is flowing down. There is visible rotation in the whirlpool 

or the vortex. Increase in speed of the current results in 

the increasing of centrifugal force and thus suction and the 

downward spiral motion of the whirlpool. 

In the dependent arising (Patichcha Samupppada) which 

is the very foundation of cause & effect explanation, the 

consciousness and the name & form (nama & rupa) are said to 

lean against each other akin to two bundles of bamboo, each 

supporting the other. In the NALA KALAPA Sutta this is well 

explained by Arahath Saripuththa. If one bundle is removed 

the other one will fall and vice versa. If a person works to find 

the path to take off the illustration of the name & form from 

the consciousness then that itself is the ultimate liberation or 

Nirvana. 

What makes the whirlpool? The two, Nama & rupa 

with consciousness co-dependent on each other forms the 

whirlpool. This is well explained in the last stanza of Jata Sutta. 

A god came to see Buddha and asked the following, “Knotted 

inside & outside, the worldly are tied in knots. I ask you Buddha 

a question, how can the knots be untied?” The Enlightened 

One replied,” Steeped in total virtue, of concentration and 

mind of wisdom, striving and skilled the Bhikku will unravel 

the knot.” 

Where the craving, anger and ignorance are no more, 

the Arahath cleansed of defiling has untied the knot.” Where 

nama & rupa, contact and form-perception are eradicated, 

there the knot is totally untied.” It may be noted that in 

explaining what non-illustrated consciousness is, it is stated 

that where the name & form does not exist even a trace of 

it, the consciousness is non-illustrated (the consciousness of 

Arahath). 

The name (nama) is explained as feeling, perception, 

intention, contact and attention. Rupa is that formed of the 

four maha bhutha and is the form-perception. Due to worldly 

beings lacking in wisdom, perceives in the four bhuthas and 

arising from those four bhuthas perceives form. Thus the form 

itself is form-perception (rupa sanna). 

To a question by one god as to where the current will 

cease, and where will the whirlpool stop rotating and where 

will the nama & rupa be not illustrated without a trace the 

Enlightened One replied that when the four bhuthas are not 

registered there the current will cease to flow and the nama 

& rupa no more illustrated. 

Thus this samsara itself is this continuum of this cycle of 

consciousness and name & form leaning against each other 

and going round. In the whirlpool the centrifugal force will 

suck in all the debris around it in the water and one will see 

churning debris. The whirlpool will not be in the same place 

all the time but in motion and may well be seen in a different 

place sans the debris originally taken in but with new debris. 

It is not the same whirlpool nor is it a different one and the 

earlier collected debris will now be just floating while the new 

debris is now in the vortex. 

In a similar way, the vortex of name & form and 

consciousness moves from place to place (neither same 

nor different), the time frame of having the debris between 

birth & death the lifespan and the continuous going around 

the sansara of cycles of birth & death. In each existence the 

force of the two will collect the debris of four bhuthas and in 

humans & other animals it is this somatic body. 

In the dwyathanupassana sutta this is further explained. 

The time span between birth & death is this life. Rotating 

between birth and death is the samsara. Being as this and as 

that is the nature of ignorance. Having overcome this great 

delusion of ignorance and with arising of wisdom they will not 

come to birth again (nibbana). 

The worldly beings are not aware of this and believe in 

the somatic body as the self. Thus the whole life is often spent 

on caring for the somatic body. We wash it, paint, decorate, 

put in all kinds of dresses and apply all the perfumes and look 

after it with great care. Thus we are embedded in this somatic 

body and that itself leads to personality view (Sakkaya Ditti). 

With passage of time we relentlessly build the personality 

view. 

A person is neither a lowly nor an exalted being (Wasala 

& Brahmin) by birth. At birth our defilements are dormant 

and we do not assimilate new until we grow up. However the 

unskilled beings with passage of time assimilate defilements 

and soil the mind and thus are the Wasalas. However those 

who achieve the sublime liberation from all kilesas will neither 

have any left and will not assimilate new kilesas. Such are the 

liberated Arahaths and Buddha termed them as Brahmins. 

We may illustrate our consciousness with good actions 

or bad actions. Yet as the Enlightened One said, a mind that 

is not leaky or perplexed and where both Punaya and Papa 

Karma are eradicated then such person will no longer have the 

fear of this continuum of sansara. 

However what do the worldly people do all their life? A 

drive from Colombo to Kandy will reveal it all. On both sides 

of the road are shops full of clothing of all types for men and 

women, bakeries and restaurants with all types of food and 

drinks, places where the hair is done, dyed or straightened, 

places where the skin will be made beautiful and shiny, places 

where you will be dressed up by professionals, places where 

your body will be shaped to look great, signage and hoardings 

telling folks about products that can make one handsome & 

beautiful. 

But one will not be able to find a place on either side 

of the road which says that they will cleanse the defiled 

mind of mundane people. We never place any emphasis on 

cleansing our defilements barring a very small percentage 

of the population. Yet we spend large sums of money and 

much of our time cleaning and brightening this collection of 

debris, our body. For the slightest body illness we rush to the 

nearest doctor or the hospital but will not think of cleansing 

our defilements as and when they arise and instead will churn 

those in our mindset. 

As one Venerable Bhikku in a recent Dhamma discourse 

said, that the textile trade will put up the fashions for April 

New Year from the beginning of the year and soon after the 

April New Year festivities will put up the fashion wear for the 

Vesak Month. This was an indication of how much we adorn 

this collection of debris which in any case we will leave behind. 

How do we put an end to this whirlpool? The aforesaid 

does not mean that one must give up caring for this somatic 

body. On the contrary should live well, dress well, use the 

cosmetics and perfumes, have good home, eat good food 

and have other possessions such as motor car and even aero 

planes or a yacht. But deep inside the person must realize that 

all these are temporary and with that strive all the time to 

cleanse our mindset. This can be done while working or doing 

business or driving a car or walking along the road etc & how? 

Firstly one must start on Mindfulness Meditation to 

bring the ability to have presence of mind. For this the best 

meditation technique as I note is breathing meditation. One 

need not go to a retreat for this meditation but can practice 

while being at home. All one needs is to wake up at least one 

hour before the usual time. We must all remember that in 

this sansara each one of us would have slept trillions of years 

with no positive result. Keeping that in mind (please refer to 

Achchara Sanghatha Sutta in Samyuththa Nikaya) we should 

attempt to place emphasis on mindfulness meditation to 

develop mindfulness. 

Mindfulness is the precursor to insight. Possessed 

with mindfulness one can progress forward towards insight 

(Vipassana). It is all about being in the now and being aware of 

what one is doing. It may be working in office or at home, may 

be eating food or drinking water, getting dressed up, driving to 

work in a motor vehicle or travelling in public transport, taking 

a bath or brushing teeth etc. At each moment one must be 

mindful and aware of the actions and also of the mind. 

Be aware when a thought of hate arise and mindfully be 

aware of it ceasing. It can also be thought of craving, delusion, 

enmity, anger, desire etc. one must be aware of these arising 

and ceasing and not give any value to these thoughts. It 

is only when you start giving value these that the thought 

process moves forward with ultimate negative results. These 

in turn illustrate our consciousness and the name & form and 

consciousness continues to lean on each other and keep on 

each other as in a whirlpool. 

So how does the name & form is together? When there 

is a Nama of a nature, of a characteristic, of a sign and of a 

topic then that gives to host of words describing the Rupa. 

When there is a Rupa of a nature, of a characteristic, of a sign 

and of a topic then it gives rise to friction in the Nama. When 

of a nature, of a characteristic, of a sign and of a topic there 

is Nama & Rupa then there is host of words of description 

and ensuing friction. When there is no Nama/Rupa there is no 

contact (Passa). 

In the stanza on the six touch agencies, the Enlightened 

One said the world is formed of the six touch-agencies, the six 

are the ones that associate everything, having grasped it all 

with the six touch-agencies, the worldly beings lament on the 

six touch-agencies. Thus this world is not that the one outside 

but of our six touch-agencies. 

Meditation and introspection of Dhamma and its 

application to one’s life enables that person to slowly and 

surely overcome the burden of nama/rupa. In the Maha 

Nidhana Sutta Enlightened One has shown how the beings 

go in this sansara due to their inability to comprehend this 

dependent arising, of nama/rupa and that of nama/rupa and 

consciousness. So the path is vividly clear. Go fort and strive to 

end this inglorious sansara. 

One has broken the cycle, attained freedom from desire. 

The dried-up stream no longer flows. The whirlpool broken no 

longer turns. This is the end of Dhukka. (Udana 7.62)
