This study was a qualitative research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 stakeholders, in-depth interviews with 5 experts, and a focus group discussion with 7 qualified experts.

Furthermore, cooperation and motivation were still weak, resulting in the inefficient execution of the budget.</li> <li>The guidelines for budget management using result-based management based on Iddhipada IV: The guidelines established 7 scopes of budget management combined with 4 dimensions of the result-based management process, integrated with the principles of Iddhipada IV. These include: 1) Chanda (having a love for the work and good planning); 2) Viriya (perseverance in operation without discouragement); 3) Citta (attentiveness and inspection); and 4) Vimamsa (contemplation and improvement). This integration drives the quality of budget management by promoting responsibility, determination, prudence, and work development, ensuring that budget management is efficient, transparent, and verifiable.</li> <li>The evaluation results: The assessment by qualified experts revealed that the proposed guidelines were appropriate, feasible, and beneficial for practical application in school budget management.</li> </ol> Netchanok Songprasop, Phrakrusumetpariyatkhun, Pricha Samakkhi Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhistic Sociology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BSJ/article/view/293079 Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700 THE RELATION BETWEEN THE APPLICATION OF THE DASABIDHARAJA DHAMMA PRINCIPLES AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF SANGHA AFFAIRS BY ECCLESIASTICAL OFFICIALS IN NAKHON SI THAMMARAT PROVINCE https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BSJ/article/view/293122 <p> This thesis has four main objectives: 1) to study the level of application of the Ten Royal Virtues (Dasavidha-Rajadhamma) among ecclesiastical administrators in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province; 2) to examine the level of Sangha administration conducted by ecclesiastical administrators in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province; 3) to investigate the relationship between the application of the Ten Royal Virtues and the administration of Sangha affairs by ecclesiastical administrators in the province; and 4) to propose guidelines for promoting the application of the Ten Royal Virtues in Sangha administration.

However, several problems were found including differences in students’ ability levels, insufficient reading materials, and limited family support. (2) The guidelines for academic administration based on the principles of Iddhipada IV consisted of four components: Chanda (aspiration), Viriya (effort), Citta (concentration), and Vimamsa (investigation). These principles were applied to promote motivation, perseverance, attentiveness, and continuous improvement in academic administration.

This research employed a quantitative research approach. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to 351 Buddhist residents in Thabon Subdistrict, Ranot District, Songkhla Province. The sample size was determined based on the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table, and the respondents were selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.

Faith in the Enlightenment of the Tathāgata (Tathāgata-bodhi-saddhā) had the highest mean score (4.10), reflecting strong confidence in the wisdom and enlightenment of the Buddha. Meanwhile, faith in karma (Kamma-saddhā) (3.98) and faith in the results of karma (Vipāka-saddhā) (3.92) remained important moral foundations. However, the application of karmic principles in daily decision-making was lower than other aspects.</li> <li>Social factors were positively correlated with Buddhist faith at a high level with statistical significance (r = .78, p &lt; .01). Local traditions and cultural practices showed the strongest relationship with faith in karma and the results of karma (r = .82), whereas peer groups and social networks demonstrated the weakest relationship with faith in the Enlightenment of the Tathāgata (r = .54).</li> <li>Guidelines for promoting faith should encompass all four aspects, emphasizing wisdom-based faith and practical application. Temples should serve as centers for integrating the roles of families, schools, and community leaders to strengthen faith and promote sustainable community development.</li> </ol> Phrakhru Srirattanarpirom (Sommai) Tirachitto, Punnapong Wongnasri Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhistic Sociology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BSJ/article/view/293123 Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700 DEVELOPMENT OF SAFETY ENHANCEMENT AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS BASED ON SATIPATTHANA IV FOR CHA-UAT SCHOOL, UNDER THE SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AREA OFFICE NAKHON SI THAMMARAT https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BSJ/article/view/292874 <p> This research aimed to: 1) study the current conditions of implementing the school safety enhancement and emergency response plan on Cha-Uat School under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office Nakhon Si Thammarat 2) develop of safety enhancement and emergency response plan based on the Satipatthana IV for Cha-Uat School under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office. 3) propose guidelines for developing of safety enhancement and emergency response plan based on the Satipatthana IV for Cha-Uat School under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office.

This article synthesizes the concept of “success for private school survival” within the context of the BANI World (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) by proposing the Private School Survival Model (PSSM). The framework comprises five key dimensions: <br />1) educational quality, 2) financial stability, 3) adaptability to change, 4) stakeholder relationships, and 5) reputation and image. The conceptual synthesis highlights educational quality as a central driver of private school survival, while financial stability emerges as a major structural challenge within the Thai private education context. Furthermore, the article presents practical implications through the application of the 7Ps Administrative Mix for school administrators, policymakers, and private school owners to strengthen sustainable survival capacity amid the uncertainties of the BANI era.</p> Puntitra Kohsuwan, Laddawan Petchroj Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Buddhistic Sociology https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://so06.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/BSJ/article/view/292465 Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700
