Buddhist English
Followers should equip yourselves with at least A2 level of basic English knowledge before studying Buddhist English, as elementary Buddhist English still uses basic vocabulary but refers to Vietnamese meanings in Buddhism impacted by Chinese. Thus, learners need to absorb English foundation and then investigate Buddhist doctrine without growing boring and struggling.
For example:
- practitioner: hành giả = người thực hành
- to practice: tu tập
- to leave the home: xuất gia = rời khỏi nhà
- to chant the sutta: tụng kinh
- to do chores: chấp tác = làm việc chùa
- to have a meal: thọ thực
