Title: Involvement of the Mongolian Buddhist institutions in coping with the trials of ageing 

Abstract:

Older people face many challenges due to health, mental, physical, and social changes in their lives. Many studies on ageing and well-being of older people highlight about the significant influence of religion and spirituality in old age. Using the results of 2015 Asian Research Institute of International Social Work (Japan) study on exploring a role of Buddhism in social work in Asian countries and research of the Mongolian Buddhist social work activities we analyzed the situation of older people’s engagement in activities of Buddhist institutions and coping strategies of Mongolian older people in dealing with the difficulties of ageing. According to the International study on Buddhist Social Work in Asian countries and the Mongolian study on Buddhist social work experiences, Buddhist temples organize various activities which attract older people and their families. These activities range from everyday religious services, direct assistance, donation, information and referral, holiday celebration, training on religion, spirituality, and ethics, to community work. Buddhist temples and monks serve individuals, a group of people, as well as whole community.  Monks help older people to deal with frailty, and difficulties in times of sickness, loss, and other life events. Their services found to be helpful in spiritual, mental, social, and physical health and wellness of older people. Results showed that Buddhist religion positively contributes to psychological well-being and overall life satisfaction of older people. Therefore, the authors suggest social workers have many opportunities to collaborate with Buddhist temples and monks to provide services to older people in their community.
