Abstract
This academic article presents "Sappaya 7 and Modern Living," highlighting the challenges faced in today's life, including social, economic, political, and environmental issues. These challenges necessitate behavioral changes to develop contemporary skills that enable a peaceful and normal life based on current lifestyles. Living happily today can be easily achieved without excessive reliance on unnecessary factors, simply by aligning one's lifestyle with modern skills and natural principles based on the Buddhist concept of the seven Sappaya. These include: 1. Organizing one's living space simply (Āvāsasappāya), 2. Choosing a suitable workplace (Gocarasappāya), 3. Engaging in beneficial communication (Pāsādikasappāya), 4. Associating with good and virtuous people (Puggalasappāya), 5. Consuming nutritious food (Āhārasappāya), 6. Creating a pleasant environment and atmosphere (Utusappāya), and 7. Maintaining physical health through proper exercise (Iriyāpathasappāya).
