Dhamma
Propagation
in Artificial
Intelligence….
you are Buddhists how about Dhamma
propagation and Education with AI or
Artificial Intelligence?
AI and its miracle works - AI or
Artificial Intelligence started developing
since 1950. AI can help us for the
comfortable life like a good assistant
in every lifestyle both personal and big
scale work. As we known now Xinhua use
AI reporter and it look almost same as
the professional reporter whom AI copy.
In China, they said that the government
put AI Education for academic in the
constitution of China. Moreover, AI
can write 30 financial articles per day
for website investor of Korea , AI can
have self-learning till AI Alpha Go can
educated people. Many scholars said
that in the future if AI clever than a man
we should learn from AI.
Buddha’s Dhamma is timeless -
Although technology change a lot, but
the Dhamma of the Lord Buddha never
changes and Defilements in human
mind never change too. Lord Buddha
always taught us about the 4 Noble truth
which comprise of suffering (dukkha) ,
cause of suffering (samudaya), cessation
of dukkha (nirhodha) , path that
frees us from suffering (magga). AI or
Artificial Intelligence can help us for the
comfortable life and free from suffering
from the physical or economic but for
suffering from society and defilement
Dhamma of Lord Buddha to people of
the world while good people can be role
model of AI to copy. So, to train people
to be a good people with morality and
mindfulness are very important. AI need
role model so we should put more role
model for AI. AI support the propagation
of Dhamma while the propagation of
Dhamma create good people to be role
model for AI. While Buddhist Education
should be the way to create good habits
for the learner and good habit for the AI.
Lord Buddha said that Mano puppung
Kama Dhamma Mano Settha Mano
Maya, everything up to our mind, our
mind is Chief, Our Mind is Master, if our
mind good , we speak good ,we do good.
time so for BUDDHIST Propagation we
should not reject them, but we use them
as a vehicle to bring Buddha’s Dharma
all over the world. Buddha teaching the
product is very good just make in new
packaging for more interesting by AI.
While Buddhist Education should be the
way to create good habits for the learner
and good habit for the AI.
AI or Artificial Intelligence can
help us for the comfortable life and
free from suffering from the physical or
economic but for suffering from society
and defilement we need the Dhamma of
the Lord Buddha from inner wisdom to
solve this problem. Dhamma Intelligence
is better than Artificial Intelligence.

Today’s world constantly
undergoes drastic and abundant
change, especially in the domain
of technology. Almost everyone
has smart mobile phone. We can contact
each other very easy across the globe.
We use social media to contact each
other. We can see any programs we want
by youtube in anytime. We can search
any information we want on google, we
can study from online university, ect. Do
you think what will happen in the next 30
years for the new technology especially
AI or Artificial Intelligence? The year
2050, That’s the year in which artificial
intelligence will be able to perform any
intellectual task a human can perform,
according to one survey of experts at
a recent AI conference. Anything and
everything any person have ever done
in all of history —all of it doable, by
2050, by intelligent machines. And If

7th Annual Conference of World Youth
Buddhist Society (WYBS) in Chiangmai on
2016 led by Khenpo Sodargye Rinpoche,
the speaker showed the poems and let
the 1,000 International delegates in the
hall to choose which one they like most
and most of participants chose the one
which create by AI.
It’s very good cause AI no hungry,
no sleepy, no tiring, no boring, ect. So, it
can work all day all night. If we compare
AI with computer and robot, we can
say that Computer work like worker or
low educated people, Robot work like
middle class people but AI work like high
we need the Dhamma of the Lord
Buddha to solve this problem. The Noble
Eightfold Path encompasses morality,
mindfulness, and wisdom are the way to
solve the problem.

education in the AI Era - Technology
develop all the time so for BUDDHIST
Propagation we should not reject them,
but we use them as a vehicle to bring
Buddha’s Dharma all over the world.
Now we can propagate the Dhamma
of the lord Buddha by sattelite such as
Da Ai TV , Lotus Channel in Taiwan. By
social media such as Facebook, YouTube
, Google , ect. . Dhamma is timeless
while the defilement of all human be
timeless despite technology change.
We can do more good deeds using
technology while we can do more bad
deeds or bad Kamma by technology too.
AI can be an instrument to propagate the
Mahatma Gandhi share with us that
“Keep your thoughts positive because
your thought become YOUR WORDS.
Keep your words positive because
your words become YOUR BEHAVIOR
/ Keep your behavior positive because
your behavior becomes YOUR HABITS /
Keep your habits positive because your
habits become YOUR VALUES / Keep
your values positive because your values
become YOUR DESTINY”. So Mind is the
most important but must be in the good
habit and it will become destiny not only
us but destiny for people of the world.
Conclusion - AI or Artificial
Intelligence have miracle works with
numerous impressive things artificial
intelligence can do today. So AI can be
an instrument to propagate the Dhamma
of Lord Buddha to people of the world
while good people can be role model of
AI to copy. Technology develop all the
