This dissertation has three objectives: 1) to study the teachings on Ariya- vamsapaṭidã in Buddhist Texts, 2) to study the principles of Ariyavamsapaṭidã practice in Buddhist Texts, and 3) to analyze the way of Ariyavamsapaṭidã cultivation in Buddhist Texts.

             In the study, it was found that the principles of Ariyavamsapaṭidã in Buddhism divided into two stages: the first is the consumption of necessary factors for the life of the monk in normal conditions, including the use of robes, eating, and living (residence) with contentment. The second stage is the development of self for cultivation kusala and akusala that will lead one to be noble or to develop oneself into noble ones. It shows the way of life of the monks in two aspects, while he is a Bhikkhu, depends on the four factors as necessary, do not have much to promote the passion and disturb the householders. Not so little until that makes a living by the scarcity. But there is enough to save lives and have the time and effort to study and follow the Dhamma-Vinaya that the Buddha announced.

          The analysis of the way of Ariyavamsapaṭidã cultivation in Buddhism can be concluded into four contentment practices: (1) connected with robes, monks need to use cloth for pilgrimage according to the two civarapaṭisaṅyutta are: Paṅasukålikaïga (refuse-rag-wearer’s practice) and Tecãvarikaïga (triple-robewearer’s practice). (2) alms-food-eater’s practice:  connected with alms food, monks need to practice alms-food according to the five bhojanapaṭisaṅyutta are: piṇḍapātikaṅaga (alms-food-eater’s practice), sapadānacarikaṅaga (house-to-house-seeker’s practice), ekàsanikaṅaga (one-sessioner’s practice), pattipiṇḍikaṅaga (bowl-food-eater’spractice), and khalupacchà-bhattikaṅaga (later-food-refuser’s practice).

           Connected with the resting place: monks need to live at the residence according to the six senasanasanyutta are: âra¤¤ikaïga: forest-dweller’s practice, Rukkhamulikaṅaga: (tree-rootdweller’spractice), Abbhokàsikaṅaga (open-air-dweller’s practice), sosànikaṅaga: (charnel ground-dweller’s practice), yathàsanthatikaṅaga (any-bed-user’s practice), and nesajjikaṅaga: (sitting practice). Refrain from sleeping will be only in standing, walking, and sitting postures. (4) The satisfaction in cultivation of kusala and akusala: this practice refers to the practice to attend enlightenment according to bhodhipakkhiyadhamma 37 are: satipatthana 4, sammappadhana 4, iddhipada 4, indriya 5, bala 5, bojjhaṅgā 7, and noble eightfold path. The Bhikku who practice Ariyavaṅasapaṭipada completely, will live in a very simple life, because it is considered as a living element. And will be able to develop themselves into nobility in the end because following to the principle of bhodhipakkhiyadhamma, which is justified as the pursuit of the enlightenment.
