Abstract

The method of developing pañña (wisdom) in Theravada Buddhism is to gain wisdom in everything otherwise called “Lokuttara pañña, which the ordinary people can gain from their “KalyãnÚamittatã”(good company) which is the outer factor to gain the faith. This also includes an inter factor which is called “Yonisomanasikãra” (critical reflection) as the “SammãditÚtÚhi” (right view), correct opinion is the first stage of intellect. With this SammãditÚtÚhi one can   train oneself to be careful about the precepts, meditation, wisdom and Noble Eightfold Path until they can develop the worldly wisdom to be   of Lokuttara pañña.

The method to develop wisdom according to Phrabrahmagunabhorn (P.A.Payutto) in the same way as one in Theravada Buddhism. The only difference is found in the presentation and details in explaining to create images. The development of wisdom must be represented by the people as a central of the intellect, because the true development could only exist when people start studying. This way of consists of 3 sides, namely : the  practise to  be   good combined behavior for encouraging the high quality of life and helping in developing the mind and the  intellect by  using 8 sub steps the first of  which is  practicing of  honesty in one’s body, spoken words, minds  and  occupations as a basic step together with practising and training their minds to be neat and high in qualities. This state of mind can be called “concentration”. By having a good mind, one can practice and develop the wisdom by helping and supporting an appropriate environment which consists of good company and the wisdom factor of  wisdom  which is the  systematic attention and practice with the  disciplines until one can be a Noble One.

The way to apply the wisdom to improve the quality of life, the diligence that happens during the practical period can be employed in the way of one’s lives. From a good inner state of mind, one will behave accordingly to the precepts. The persons, who have precepts also live in happiness and smoothness in life with peace, are distinctively of merit and kindness to themselves and others. They will not persecute other persons in country and societies. All will have good lives together. The person who has intelligence will practise to eventually overcome the distress.

    The way to use of wisdom in enhancing a quality of life includes physical development. A person accompanied with wisdom shall live a life based on the principle of moderation in eating or namely knowing the limit of consumption. This engenders physical composure, meaning careful attention in exercising the organs of the body such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, all of which render the development of behavior. With the good mind, one’s expression will be in good conduct, especially concerning precepts. A person practicing precepts will be happy and live a smooth and peaceful life. He/she is kind, merciful to himself/herself and to others and does not oppress others, retains peace, enjoys a joyous spirit, which develops the quality of mind. The mind will be inventive, apt, and agile or namely the mind right for work, possessing self-consciousness in living one’s life, which consequently enhances a systematic thinking – meaning think rationally, using wisdom to solve problems or eliminate the misery occurred, understanding and acknowledging the change of things in changing  the  world. Such is someone who is guided by wisdom in living a life, which is, according to Buddhism, the path to better quality of life. This in consequence makes people who always improve themselves enjoy an excellent life and the one accompanied with wisdom will indeed learn to cultivate oneself to reach the ultimate aim – extinction of suffering.
