The Fourth Annual V-Star Unity Project December 12, 2009 at Wat Phra Dhammakaya, Pathumthani, Thailand Project Introduction – The Moral Revival for the World

This unprecedented project for the Moral Revival of the World was created and initiated by the Most Venerable Phrarajbhavanavisudh ( Luang Phor Dhammajayo ) The Abbot of Wat Phradhamakaya.

His main goal is to drive home the importance of cultivating a deep sense of right and wrong and instill in the minds of the youth around the world an unshakable guiding awareness and appreciation of timeless moral values that can guide and preserve them throughout their lives. This deep awareness can be achieved in the lives of the youth today by continual training and the creating of new positive habits on a daily basis. These habits based on solid moral and ethical teachings automatically engender good thought, good speech and good actions benefiting not only the individual by all of society and the world! Since the V-Star Unity Project began in 2007, organizing committees for the program have provided full scholarships and all manner of learning media as well as equipment to both facilitate and directly cultivate a genuine moral and ethical awareness for all the youth who have attended the project. The V-Star Unity Project has a nation wide biannual continuing morals based follow-up educational plan to reinforce the teachings and monitor how well the participating students are progressing. During this time period realistic evaluations are conducted to measure the effectiveness and success of raising the moral standards of the youth from the participating schools throughout Thailand simultaneously twice a year. The evaluations were made three times in the first and the second semesters of the school year. There will be a second evaluation of the year 2009 on Saturday, December 12 which will be the fourth organized project since the program was launched.

In the past, without fail, during every evaluation, more than 500,000 students from 5,000 schools have faithfully participated. On this occasion, The International Buddhist Society under the patronage of the Most Ven. Somdejphramaharatchamangkalajahn, has requested that Wat Phradhammakaya provide the sites and vast facilities of The Saphadhammakayasakol { The Great Meditation Hall}, The Grand Meditation Stadium as well as the Grand Meditation Square, all of which are located in the temple in Pathumthani Thailand. These magnificent structures and locales will be the center for all the evaluating activities mentioned.

As of this the fourth evaluation, there will be a great deal of students not only from Buddhist schools but many other inter-denominational schools coming to participate in a multitude of exciting and fun filled activities on Saturday, December 12, 2009 as this following schedule.
