ABSTRACT

                     This thesis is of 3 objectives,  namely :- (1) to study the principle of    DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA appearing in Theravada Buddhist Scriptures (2) to study the method of practising according to the principle of  DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA  and (3) to analyze the way of leading the life according the principle of  DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA

                 From the result of the research, it is found that the principle of  DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA is the principle of the benifit and the four kinds of happiness at present which are :- (1) Uṭṭhānasampadā, to be endowed with the energy and industry (2) Ārakkhasampadā, to be endowed with watchfulness. (3) Kalyānamittatā,  to be endowed with good friends. (4) Samajĭvitā, to be of the balanced livelihood. The mentioned principles must also be of Catu-Iddhipāda Catu-kim enjoyed lahiri and Catu-Sammappadhāna to cause the search for the money and the spending of the money to be useful to oneself and other people.

               The practice of oneself according to DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA  is of two types namely :- (1) the understanding of the world and the life comtinuity which is under the natural laws with the Four Noble Truths and the Paṭiccasamuppāda (2) the practice of oneself rightly to develop the ability and to support the stability to one’s own life and other’s by practising oneself according to the principle of 7 Noble Wealths, namely :- Saddhā, Sīla, Hiri, Ottappa, Bāhusacca, Cāga and Paññā. The practising of oneself rightly can cause the practiser to see the first result which is Lokiyasukha  and  the highest one which is Lokutttarasukha.

               In analyzing the  way of leading the life according the principle of DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA,  there are 4  types of the people, namely :- (1) The person coming from darkness goes to darkness. (2) The person coming from darkness goes to brightness. (3) The person coming from brightness goes to brightness. (4) the person coming from brightness goes to brightness. Thus, this fact causes his way of leading to be in compliance with the principle of Diṭṭhadhammikattha. For example, Mr. Puṇṇa, Maṭṭhakauṇdalīs father, Kosiyaseṭṭhī Cūlasātaka, Musikaseṭṭhī, the millionaire’s Son, Corakrau-Daeng and Anāthapindika Seṭṭhi.

               So, the application of Diṭṭhadhammikattha to solve the problems of leading the lives by general people in the present societies is of  4  types  namely :-

               1) To apply the principle of Uṭṭhānasampadā to solve the problems of lacking the effort of fleeing all the bead things and to cause oneself to be in concentration of the body, the speech and the mind not to be in illusion about the different materials.

               2) To apply the principle of Ãrakkhasapadā to solve the life problems in preserving the obtained properties to remain firmly.

               3) To apply the principle of Kalyānamittatā to solve the life problems by not associating with the guy by associating with the wise men who can advise any one to do goodness.

               4) To apply the principle of Samajīvitā to solve the problems in carrying out the life  to spend the money with saving.

                       Therefore, the behavior and the practice according to the principle of DIṬṬHADHAMMIKATTHA to have the real happiness both at present and in the future is necessary. One who practices can receive the result to oneself and to the family. Though the said result may be different, the final aim is the same, that is the happiness and the way to go out of suffering  etc.
