ABSTRACT
The paper analyzes a
religion-based college’s spiritual education through Buddhist sutra adaptation (BSA)
experiences to explore the students’ perceptions of good, filial piety, and
environmental ethics, as well as their behavioral modifications, accordingly.
The BSA is an artistic presentation of singing and signing in the Tzu Chi Missions
for moral reflection on desire, anger, and ignorance. The participating
students are interviewed and observed for their after-school participation of
BSA experiences, and in the context of humanities course performance. This
paper intends to highlight a special form of moral education through BSA
experiences.
