The Development of Life Quality in the Buddhist Principle

Abstract

The development of life–quality with the Dhammic Principles in Buddhism is to develop by integrating the Eightfold Noble Path in daily life that is to apply wisdom for adjusting perspective or view correctly to Dhamma (Sammaditthi) and the thought also would be adjusted automatically with the help of wisdom (Sammasankappa), including to speak truly and correctly only word supporting harmony with usefulness, not lie, not malicious speech, not harsh, and not frivolous (Sammavaca); in acting time, act by following the principles of Dhamma (Sammakammanta); in living life, means of livelihood also should be practiced correctly to Sila-Dhamma (Samma-Ajiva). However, the said processes are only the process of setting base to be stable and suitable for further development; but, those are not processes for development. Meanwhile, the coming process is to consider and investigate the contemplation of body, feelings, mind and mind-objects (Sammasati); then, proceed to proceed to the process of right effort (Sammavayama) which is an important part of Bhavetabbadhamma (Dhamma to be developed) would able to achieve the cessation of sufferings definitely. Or even goal in mundane level, if the practitioner proceeds to the said process of the Eightfold Noble Path, he would surely reach the determined goal. Accordingly, the livelihood would be regarded as life-quality and prosperity according to the Buddhist Teaching.
