Human Nature and Potential Development in Theravāda Buddhist Philosophy

2025-08-15T14:39:45+07:00

This academic article aims to study and analyze human nature and potential development according to Theravāda Buddhist philosophy. It argues that humans are merely one type of animal among many and are categorized as real entities endowed with a spirit or mind, referred to as "living beings" in Buddhism. The concept of "life" is linked to the presence of "consciousness" (or viññāṇa), not merely growth or reproduction. What is called a living being must possess consciousness as a component; it is something that can create karma and receive its results. The duty of humanity is not just to learn for oneself, but also to support fellow human beings in accessing the learning process to perceive nature and truth as they truly are. The ultimate goal is to create a society grounded in understanding and peace through the utilization of the intellectual potential inherent in each individual. This developmental approach is a system aimed at improving human lifestyles in all dimensions, both personal and societal. It is not limited to instincts for coexistence (social animals), or merely the pursuit and exercise of political power (political animals), nor solely the pursuit of economic gain (economic animals). Instead, Buddhist philosophy views humans as "veneyyasatta" – beings with a special potential ready to be guided correctly towards happiness, encompassing both personal and collective benefit, and ultimately, the cessation of suffering. This is the essence of self-reliance in Theravāda Buddhism, aligning with the Buddha's saying "attā hi attano nātho" (The self is the master of the self). However, this "self" must be trained; it is not a permanent self, and no one can do it for us, even the ultimate goal in Theravada Buddhist philosophy, "nirvana."

Political Popularity and Party Support Behavior in Thai Democracy

2025-09-08T10:10:54+07:00

This academic article aims to synthesize and analyze the political popularity of Thai citizens within a democratic framework through the lense of Political Marketing and Voting Behavior theories. It employs an integrative framework that combines structural dimensions, political culture, and the dynamic of digital media technology to explain the factor shaping public support for political parties and leaders. The article adopts a qualitative methodology, drawing upon academic literature and case studies of the 2019 and 2023 general elections in Thailand.

The findings reveal that political popularity in Thailand is shaped by interrelated factors: the frequent change in the electoral system, the persistent entrenchment of patron–client political culture, and the critical role of digital media in constructing political image and mobilizing public sentiment. Moreover, the study reveals the emergence of an “emotional democracy,” in which citizens’ decisions are often driven by sentiment, image, and emotional attachment rather than rational policy evaluation. The article further proposes pathways to foster sustainable political popularity through the promotion of civic education, establishing inclusive policy platforms, and enhancing political parties’ ability to adapt to Thailand’s shifting inclusive policy context. The article’s contribution lies in its integration of structural and behavioral perspectives, offering a dynamic conceptual framework for understanding political popularity in the context of a developing democracy.

His Majesty King Rama IX’s Working Principles through an Expert Scholars Towards an Immunized Community Way

2025-08-19T14:12:54+07:00

This academic article aims to demonstrate the application of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great's (Rama IX) 27 principles of royal work. These principles provide actionable ideas and guidelines that enable adaptation and coping with various changes. Specifically, the 20th principle, "Understand, Access, Develop," is applied and summarized into a crucial guideline for the process of creating an "immunized" community.

The methodology involved lectures from knowledgeable experts who served under His Majesty, interviews with followers of the royal project initiatives and the Chaipattana Foundation, as well as fieldwork and immersion within communities surrounding royal projects to obtain original socio-geographical data on these "immunized" communities.

The findings indicate that building an "immunized" community must adhere to King Rama IX's 27 principles. The process begins with gaining a deep understanding of the community and its development. This understanding is key to nurturing the "immunized community" way of life is a method of building community immunity to prepare for and cope with various impacts and changes that may arise, by considering potential future scenarios. This immunity is built upon four aspects: material immunity, social immunity, environmental immunity, and cultural immunity.

The next step is the process of human-centered development, focusing on people to understand their relationship with culture, customs, traditions, and natural resources. This fosters a relationship of mutual dependence and reciprocal support. Community members must show kindness to one another, recognizing that we are all interconnected. Cultural traditions play a vital role in building morale, providing protection, and encouraging mutual aid and sharing.

This human-centered approach is a crucial mechanism for successfully building a "immunized" community by creating complete immunity in all four aspects. The successful outcome is a community that can adapt to change and achieve sustainable self-reliance.

An Investigation into the Integration of Local Wisdom and Natural Dye Extraction in Contemporary Art Education through Creative Hand-Stitched Textile Practices

2025-08-15T16:13:36+07:00

This article presents a contemporary art teaching approach based on local wisdom, integrating hand-woven textile crafts with natural dye extraction from community plants. The goal is to develop an “integrated contemporary art learning model” that not only emphasizes creativity but also aligns with cultural concepts, sustainability, and educational innovation.

The proposed learning model is based on a process that relates analytical thinking, design, and practical learning through hand-woven textiles and natural dyes. It comprises four main components: 1) creativity that emphasizes the translation of concepts into art; 2) contemporary art dimensions that connect social issues with local materials; 3) integration of hand-woven textile crafts to reflect local identity; and 4) learning management to develop contemporary art innovations, using community-based learning and promoting critical thinking within the cultural context of students.

The learning activities include exploring local wisdom, extracting and experimenting with local plant dyes, sewing to create contemporary artworks, and displaying works in creative exhibitions, both in real-world and digital media. The focus is on enabling students to create “new value” for the community’s cultural capital through contemporary interpretation and communicating social ideas.

The expected learning outcomes include the development of creativity and critical design, the enhancement of concentration and refined skills, collaboration, and an understanding of cultural values. This approach aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both in terms of educational quality and cultural preservation.
