Abstract

The objectives of this research article were: 1) to study the quality of life of monks and novices; 2) to create a model of temple educational management for the quality of life of monks and novices; and 3) to evaluate the model of temple educational management for the quality of life of monks and novices in the future. The multiphase research method was used in the study. In phase 1, the qualitative data were collected from 20 samples of monks and novices and analyzed by the inductive analysis method. In phase 2, the data were collected through group discussions with nine key informants. And In Phase 3, the quantitative data were collected from 384 monks and novices. The results of the study showed that:


1. In characteristics of the desirable quality of life of monks and novices, the quality of life according to the Buddha’s practice is based on the principles of Tisikkha and three activities: 1) studying Dhamma and Vinaya for newcomers; 2) standing, sitting, and listening meditation; and 3) working together wisely.


2. Creating a model of temple educational management for the quality of life of monks and novices in the future based on the Buddha’s practice consists of three steps: Step one is meeting and brainstorming; step two is operating the activities; and step three is meeting and concluding the activities according to the principles of Tisikkha.


3. The evaluation results of the model of temple educational management for the quality of life of monks and novices in the future from 384 monks and novices are at a high level in total and in aspects. The descending value starts with possibility, followed by application, accuracy, and coverage. The evaluation results are in line with the body of knowledge in Tisikkha.
