Abstract

In the reinforcement of Buddhist contemplation in preventing suicide committing of the people in Ubon Ratchathani Province, humans should have a religion to hold their minds especially by the time that they suffer. It is obvious that religions have their roles as a dependable source of the people particularly the adolescents. Even though most of the adolescents believe in the religious teaching principles that can be an alternative in solving their problems of suffering, they are not capable in using religions as their dependable source when they suffer i.e. because they lack a correct understanding to use it for solving their problems. In solving the problem of committing suicide, it needs to start from reinforcing a good quality of life and security. To have a quality of life, it is necessary to primarily have a healthy mind. The true happiness must be originated from self-satisfaction that they feel their life valuable and meaningful. For a good quality of life, humans need to develop themselves in 4 aspects including body, precepts, mind and wisdom by applying Buddhist sayings: If you do good things, then good things will happen to you. If you do bad things, then bad things will happen to you: as a guideline for their personal conduct that leads a good life.
