Abstract

This research had three main purposes: (1) to study the model of the community welfare management at the Nonglukchang village, (2) to study four objects of sympathy and their related Buddhist principles in the management of community welfare at the Nonglukchang village, and (3) to study a result of the applied four objects of sympathy practiced by people at the Nonglukchang village. A result of the present study was found that the model of the community welfare management at the Nonglokchang village dealt with three activities: the Nonglukchang production saving group, the one-baht-per-one-day deposit group, and the Nonglukchang village funds. The Nonglukchang production saving group had organized since 1997. This group had two kinds of deposition. The first kind was the deposit money. All members paid money into an account by paying 20 baht per a definition. In the present time, there were 421 members and 2,194,370 baht for the working capital. The second kind was the special deposit money. This kind allowed all members to hold the deposition and withdraw money from an account but not to take on a loan. In the present time, there was the saving deposit of 390,542 baht. The main purpose of organizing the group was to ask the villagers to make a money plan and get the fund for running their occupations. At the end of a year, the group gave the dividend to all members according to a number of their saving definitions. The one-baht-per-one-day deposit group was established from January 1, 2005. A villager who needed to be a member of this group had to pay 20 baht for the application and hold the deposit money, at least 365 baht per a year. In the present time, there were 209 members and 292,989 baht for the working capital. The purpose of establishing this group was to collect the funds and welfare for all members from the beginning to an end of life. At the end of a year, there was the dividend for all members according to a number of their saving definitions. The Nonglukchang village funds were considered by the local government in the Chaiyaphoom province about one million baht for each village in 2000 and the additional fund about ten thousand baht in 2002. This group opened for all applications that the applicants had to pay one thousand baht for a person or a group. The other condition was that a member had to hold the deposit money, at least one definition (20 baht) per a month. The limitation in this group was that all members had to live at the Nonglukchang village, at least two years. In the present time, there were 129 members and 1,266,860 baht for the working capital.

           There, four objects of sympathy and their related Buddhist principles in the management of community welfare at the Nonglukchang village and their related Buddhist principles were applied to the management of community welfare at the Nonglukchang village. A result of studying all document and Buddhist scripture was found that four objects of sympathy and their related Buddhist principles in the management of community welfare at the Nonglukchang village was a principle to call all members to help each other in order to attain the given purposes and take this Buddhist principle applied to their occupation. Four objects of sympathy were consisted of (1) Dāna—giving, (2) Piyavācā—convincing speech, (3) Atthacariyāuseful conduct, and (4) Samānattatāeven-and-equal treatment. These Buddhist principles were used to run a project in the right way and make it proper for the welfare management in the community. If all members could not followed these Buddhist principles, the management of the welfare in the village might not get successful. The other Buddhist principles that supported four objects of sympathy were four paths of accomplishment, five precepts, harmonious principle among members, a principle of self-reliance by contentment, and four sublime states of mind.

          A result of four objects of sympathy applied to the management of community welfare at the Nonglukchang village was found that all factors in these Buddhist principles were taken into the management of the community welfare. Generally, the giving dealt with a material—money collected together as a fund in establishing a group. Convincing speech stressed on a way that all members spoke suitably and usefully.  The useful conduct was used in a way that all members behaved and produced only benefits. The even-and-equal treatment was used in a way that all members lived morally from the beginning to the present movement of life. A result of following this applied Buddhist principle to the management of community welfare at the Nonglukchang could help villagers to be successful in their occupation and release their problems with collecting funds and saving deposits in life. Thus, the management of community welfare was recognized as a guarantee of healthy life for all villagers who came together to manage welfare until they got successful in their works.
