This thesis aims at studying the viewpoint about the education for self development according to Ven. Phra Brahmagunabhorn (P.A. Payutto) about what the education is for, if the human being can develop oneself or not and how they can bring their education for solving their problems.

                 From the study, it is found that the education for developing oneself according to Ven. Phra Brahmagunabhorn means the education for developing the lives and societies which can help the human friends such as the heriors, and the learned people and can help the human beings in leading their lives for his own purpose and others’ ones.

                 To apply the education for training oneself is just for the purpose of having no suffering and for the bodily, social, mental and wisdom liberty, all of which are the aims of life.

                 The process of training and developing oneself is the principle of Education, Tisikkhā, namely:- Adhisīlasikkhā, Adhicittasikkhā and Adhipaññāsikkhā or Sīla, Samādhi and paññā. Tisikkhā is important as the principle for extinguishing the defilements and as the base of fixing the type of the behaviour including the method of practice which helps to develop the person to be away from being the ordinary person to be in the state of being the noble one. Moreover, there are still the four principles of development for checking the developed people, the fact of which can be found out through the body, the precept in societies, the minds, the temperaments, the wisdom all of which can be found in carrying their lives.

            The education and self development has to be relate by Principle of practicing, namely:- Tisikkhā and the Principle of checking, namely:- The four principle of development. The education is lead the human being to reach the aims of life. In the mean time, the self development is concern about education, there for, the aim of life will be success. The relationship as above can’t separate from our human being life.

                 The education according to Ven. Phra Brahmagunabhorn (P.A. Payutto) is found that:-

            He has planed the education plan in order to let the people to understand the lives and the ways to carry out their own lives rightly according to the doctrinal principles and the tradition, and after that to lead their lives to the happy benefits according to the types which the worldly people may receive. That is to live happily, without debts and to carry out their good ways of living with the benefit to be received at present and making the people understand the continuation of life which is the circle of birth and death and development of life according to the Doctrinal principles for having the new life in the happy realm as long as one has some defilements. This way of leading life is the permanent benefit which is stable and will give good result both in this birth and the next one to the great freedom, that is the freedom from the defilements the fact of which is the highest benefit.
