This paper describes the ways in which participation in the“Social Business Internship Program”conducted by ETIC. (Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities), supported by the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, changed the participants’ perception of the internship. This study used the Free Association Method with“internship”as the stimulus word. Samples were taken in a questionnaire format. The study was conducted with a pre- survey given the day that the Program began, and a post-survey given on the final day (202 respondents for the pre- and post-surveys, 6 weeks training program for 1st and 2nd grade university students in JFY 2010-2011). The questionnaire asked respondents to list up to 5 words associated with the stimulus word“internship”(associated words). The sample data collected was used to compare the frequency of the words in the pre- and post-surveys (comparison of total number of associated words, comparison of the number of each type of associated words), and the structure of perceptions of the“internship”ascertained by analyzing clusters based on sample scores obtained by analysis with quantification method III. The author calculated the distance between associated words through cluster analysis using Euclidean distance to calculate the distance for the original data, and used Ward’s method to calculate the distance for the consolidated data. Associated words were classified in three categories for the frequency calculations: (1) learning, (2) working and (3) living. As a result, the perception of“internship”was integrated into one after the Program, in other words, three categories, i.e. (1) learning, (2) working and (3) living, were deeply connected in the perception of“internship”. The author stresses the importance of the provision of“situated learning”for youth, e.g. Social Business Internship Program, for the integration of three categories as mentioned above, which are recognized as different issues, i.e. (1) education, (2) employment and (3) social affairs, in daily life.

The village of Don Hoa Hiep in Cai Be Prefecture in Tien Giang Province in southern Vietnam is particularly known to have retained old residences of big land owners. These large houses built with skilled craftsmanship and decorated with sculptures and golden scriptures signify the wealth of their owners. The town of Cai Be is a host to the largest floating market, which also suggests the richness of the region that historically developed as the commercial center of the Mekong Delta. However, when and by whom these houses were built is little known. Also, not much has been investigated about the Khmer who lived in the region before the Vietnamese, one of the reasons being the lack of written documents. In September 2014, we carried out field research in the town of Cai Be, Don Hoa Hiep Village and at the Minister of Culture in Tien Giang Province in order to investigate the historical process of development of the area.

This paper shows clearly that Buddhistic welfare activities are due to the fundamental thought of Kyosei. We had a new appreciation of a life-and-death transience according to the East Japan catastrophic disaster of 2011.3.11. The dead are not in a world now. However, we are alive with the dead. There are the three worlds of a past, the present, and future, and following one time-axis. It is important for us to recollect past quarters, to wish the welfare of quarters of the future, and to act. This is life-and-death Kyosei. The axiom of the Kyosei in Buddhism is a luck view. Four Institutes of Shitennoji temple told that Prince Shotoku founded was built based on the Fukuden thought, and became the model of growth of Buddhist welfare. The Fukuden thought is stacking good behavior in the present, and I am not that of“carrying out”and“I am allowed to carry out”a good behavior for others.“Zenkon-Yado”and“O-Settai ” entertainment to a pilgrim are the examples.

That a sports concept will be considered, generally,“Sport = Human movement”as if, we can often think. But Hirose is stating“An entertainment is included with a sport,”Sport = Human movement + Game“the chart he says is easiest to understand.”A sports most important point is to respect“Partner”and“Referee”in“Rule”and do the sport. Spirit of this respect is“Sportsmanship”and includes“the courage”and“sincerity”. When considering “Kyosei”, it’s beyond two − person, but I have to consider“relationship”certainly. It can be said indeed that it’s“Kyosei”to respect a rival, judgment and a rule in fee before and after a game and whole game as well as saying that a partner is praised in a sport. To understand “Sportsmanship”and behave seems tied with formation, causing and learning of a Kyosei idea.

In recent years, citizen runners have been rapidly increasing in Japan. There is a category of“barefoot running”in such a running boom. This paper examined the difference between wearing shoe and barefoot, coexistence nature of barefoot running. The aim of this paper is to examine the possibility of barefoot running to develop a Kyosei society. The foot has many functions in itself（shock absorbing function, supporting function, propulsive function, etc.）. The shoes are limited motion of toe and decreased cutaneous sensation on the sole of the foot. There is a possibility that can not take advantage of these functions. The style of barefoot running that utilizing the fullest extent of the foot function, unlike the style of wearing running shoes, it is necessary to absorb the shock in the whole body, not just lower extremity. Trying to run barefoot, it is possible to improve the body sense of the whole body from toe to head by devising the body control. Improvement of the body sense there is a possibility that results in a change the inner psychological mindset. Barefoot running, not only sports and exercise, coexistence with myself, coexistence with others, Kyosei with society, would say thus also harmony with the earth.

Kyosei is a commonplace expression not only in a religious world but also in a secular one. WCRP is one of the most famous model of Kyosei in Japan. The factors of Kyosei are needs in the society, an ecumenical theology, a structure of leadership and a cohesive society, and a major religious power.

In the course of its 2000 years of history, Christianity has been at the mercy of a bitter legacy which has included the Crusades, witch hunting, colonialism or imperialism. It has persecuted Judaism, waged war on Islam or engaged in confrontation with Communism. (Not faced persecution from Communism as“the opium for the masses”??!). Could it all be due to Monotheism? Two years ago, I was taking part in the World Congress of PEN international held in Gyeongju, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla in Korea, where I heard the opening lecture delivered by the Nobel laureate, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio. While being French, he spent his adolescent years in Nigeria, and now lives in Mauritius. In it, Le Clezio clearly stated that literature was“rhythm, akin to a wild animal”. That is entirely different from saying“In the beginning was the word”. He concluded with a haiku poem by Basho: A day not enough for singing - That skylark Nagaki hi mo saezuri taranu hibari kana Matsuo Basho In the end, it would seem that Christianity and Buddhism both adhere to the same view of nature.

Islam set Ibrahim to founder of“pure monotheism”, and was opened by the prophet Muhammad of the last following the prophets Musa（Moses）and Isa（Jesus）dispatched by God Allah. A Muslim（Islam believer）respects Musa（Moses）and Isa（Jesus）as an apostle of God, and believes as a sacred book to which the Old Testament and the New Testament as well as Quran（Koran）were revealed from Allah. There was no claim that Islam was“a new religion”from the beginning. Therefore, Quran（Koran）is relevant in contents with two previous sacred books, and has similarity and difference. In order for three religions to exist simultaneously in the world, it does not argue about a doctrine, but difference is recognized mutually rather, and it is requested that a dialog should be deepened from the viewpoint of a mutual understanding．

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are monotheism. Each religion claims that its God is the real God. When we read the Bible and the Quran carefully however, we understand that the origin of each God is the God of Judaism. Christians believe in the Trinity, which means the God consists of the God of Old Testament, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. According to the Quran, Mohammed thought that the true believer was Abraham and the God of Abraham is Allah. Although three religions have a long history of disputes and struggles against each other, and there still is rivalry in the Middle East between Israel and Arab nations, they have believed in the same God. Therefore, I do not think that symbiosis of the three monotheism religions is impossible. The God himself will intervene into these three religions which believe in him.
