The purpose of this research is to study the Comparison of Krishnamurti’s and Ven. Phrabrahmagunabhorn (P.A. Payutto) ’s Educational Philosophies.
From the study, it is found that Krishnamurti’s philosophy is the whole learning process of life for liberty and development of mind for liberty and wisdom. There are two purposes of this study (1) learning through knowledge in different fields for proficiency in terms of academics and technology and (2) studying for changing to be a perfect human being through observation and attention. Learning through observation does not require a note of experience, so that the mind may be free from rules and conditions of thought. A perfect human is not a person who accumulates knowledge and knows the life ahead, but a perfect human being must know himself.
For Ven. Phra brahmagunabhorn (P.A. Payutto) ’s philosophy, he emphasizes the Three Trainings to attain the end of suffering. This is the process of destroying ignorance and craving. The main purposes of life are to become a perfect human being through personal development. There are two purposes of education for developing oneself, namely: (1) the study of art with the external factor called Paratoghosa. (2) The developing of personality to be the perfect human being by using internal factor which is the proper consideration or Yonisomanasikàra.
Krishnamurti’s and Phrabrahmagunabhorn (P.A. Payutto) ’s educational philosophies are of both similar and different points. That is to say the similar points are that the education and the life are of the same aims. The different points are that Krishnamurti has the idea that the education with the help of observation arising in the thought with integration but without accumulating the data is the real education. On the contrary, Ven. Phrabrahmagunabhorn (P.A. Payutto)’s has the educational method which causes to arise the inner knowledge, Yonisomanasikàra which means the study of life and thing with proper consideration or using the right thought.
