STUDY THE ROLE AND PROPAGATION OF THE ANUTTARATHAM

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the role and dissemination of Anuttaradhamma. The study found that Anuttaradhamma was initially propagated in China. However, due to government suppression, it was subsequently introduced to Taiwan and Thailand in 1982. The Way of the Anuttaradhamma holds the belief that the teachings of all religions in the world serve to instruct and prepare the human mind for liberation or the path to the Anuttaradhamma (Supreme Dharma). Within the context of the Anuttaradhamma, there must always be a Dhamma teacher present at every place, for it is believed that imparting knowledge is a form of giving, specifically giving the Dharma as a gift that transcends the giving of material possessions and physical labor. While the gatherings of followers of the Supreme Dharma have not been shown to have a negative impact on society as a whole, they do not seek to replace religious institutions. Instead, they may play a role in encouraging people to practice the principles of religion more effectively, particularly in terms of the concept of reaping what one sows, with a more concrete understanding and a clear focus on the afterlife.
