Abstract

This article has two objectives: 1) to study the content of the Threefold Training in the Samaññaphala Sutta for self-learning and 2) to present the communication of the Threefold Training in the Samaññaphala Sutta through an application for self-learning. This is a qualitative research focusing on documentary study, collecting data from the Tipitaka, textbooks, books, research papers, and other related documents, analyzing content data and presenting descriptive analytical data.

The research findings are as follows:

 

  1. The content of the Threefold Training in the Samaññaphala Sutta is a Buddhist communication innovation that can be studied through applications, offering a new approach that can help learners develop a balanced and comprehensive quality of life in accordance with Buddhist principles. Technology plays an important role in disseminating knowledge and instilling Buddhist principles in youth in the digital age. Applying the Threefold Training through modern learning media helps learners access the essence of Buddhism more easily and gain maximum benefits in daily life. Self-learning is a process where learners continuously seek knowledge by themselves without primarily relying on others. Learners can plan, organize the learning process, and determine their own educational approaches in line with their goals. This is a pursuit of knowledge that enables individuals to live quality lives in society, maintain a thirst for knowledge, and learn throughout life without compulsion.
  2. The Threefold Training in the Samaññaphala Sutta as a Buddhist communication innovation for self-directed learning can develop applications that communicate the principles of the Threefold Training is a challenge that requires knowledge and understanding of Buddhist principles and good media design. Creating motivation for learners to learn and practice according to the Threefold Training principles is a key consideration in application design.
