Research on Social Elderly Care Services by Buddhist Organizations—Based on the Survey Data of Zibo City Buddhist Group to Set up Pension Institutions

Abstract

The Buddhist circle involved in the pension cause has a long historical tradition and is highly supported by
state-issued policies. Hence, the Buddhist pension cause has made certain progress in recent years. This paper takes the Earth Care Home of Huayan Temple, Huantai County, Zibo City as an example, to analyze the establishment and operation of kindness homes. This study also analyzed the daily life of the elderly, sorted out the advantages and constraints of their participation in the elderly care service, and provided relevant suggestions on how to promote the sustainable development of elderly care by Buddhist organizations.
