The specific tools of this research were composed of 1) activities in the development of emotional quotient of the canon, concentration and wisdom; 2) the emotional quotient evalution form in 6-11 years old student of the department of mental health, ministry of public health.

The results of research were as follows: Emotional quotient (EQ) and principle of Trisikkha in Buddhism mention that the emotion means information of sense data or objectives of sensation at eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. Those are influenced to their behaviors, that show and respond to stimulus via sense or outer courtyard (Sense-fields) in Buddhism. It had the effects tocharacteristics of suffering (Wethnā) or the co-operative feeling to response from emotion or external stimuli to behaviors and sensation. Trisikkha means three sikkha that mention to topic of the study, the practice of those topics and self-practices of three topics. There are Adhisila-Sikkha that they study of canon (Sil), good practice to Adhicitta-Sikkha (study about mind, practice mind to peace and sustain to the high level of concentration and Adhipañña-Sikkha (study of self wisdom and develop self practice in good maner). The development of emotion quotient following principle of Trisikkha are the process of sensation in emotion. There are five steps; 1) Perception or Phạss'a of three objects that they are internal sense-fields (Ajjhattikāyanata), external sense-fields (Bhāhirāyatana) and spiratual (Consuosuness) 2) Suffering or Wethnā of perception of emotion after the contaction of Phạss'a 3) San-ya or memory of the information that it follows from suffering. This step is the accumulation of learning. 4) The modification of emotion or suffers (Wethnā) that is Sạngkhār, means thinking in mind. It has the power that can motivate the mind to good thinking (Wholesome), bad thinking (Unwholesome) and not good, not bad thinking (the indetermunate).
