A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL OF BUDDHANUSSATI IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE BASE ON BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

A structural equation model of Buddhanussati in the delopement of quality of life          based on Buddhist Psychology was a systematic development of mindfulness-based meditation            practice with the remembrance of the grace of the Buddha as a sense-object with the meditation           master as an extensive learner understanding practitioners’ basically intrinsic nature of a person           resulting in the practitioners’ mindfulness-based meditation retreat matching their intrinsic nature           of a person, balancing perseverance and concentrate on their daily life, the continuation of the          four areas of development with faith from the success in the hierarchical order of life to the wisdom           of being awakened and joyful leading to the correct factors and the goal of living in accordance           with the teachings of Buddhism in terms of temporal, spiritual and highest benefits of being born           as a human being with the path of liberation through good mental health and a good quality of           life.

                      The results of the analysis of the Buddhanussati Structural Equation Model in developing

           the quality of life according to Buddhist psychology were consistent with the empirical data. And

           the results of checking the validity of the developed model were c2 = 65.69, df = 49, c2/df =

           1.34, P = .056, GFI = 0.979, AGFI = 0.95. , RMR = 0.020, RMSEA = 0.029. All variables in the model

           together explained 76.60 percent of the quality of life variables.
