At the first stage, the qualitative approach is employed in terms of documentary<br>review of literature and the in-depth interview of twelve key informants. At the second stage,<br>the quantitative approach is applied to survey research using the questionnaires constructed<br>based on information from the interview and documentary research, including data analyses<br>and inquiry of Buddhist factors for well-being on observation, n=460 people, from 20-59<br>years old. Statistics used in research include percentage, arithmetic mean (X ¯), standard<br>deviation <em>(</em>S.D.), T-Test, F-Test, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation, and Multiple<br>Regression Analysis. The findings show that the three Buddhist factors—sīla, samādhi,<br>paññā—can the mostly explain well-being of working age people in the Bangkok Metropol<br>area 56 % at the level of significance of .001 (p&lt;.001). A Model of Buddhist Well-Being<br>with this Threefold Training as the Buddhist explanatory variables and the theoretical base<br>for the development of the human being spirituality and behaviour will contributes the greatest<br>benefits to the society.</p> ER -
