Structural Poverty: Solving Problems from Foundation of Buddhadhamma Principle.

Abstract

This article aims to study the concepts in various aspects of solving the problems of poverty from the foundation of Buddhadhamma principle. It was found that the poverty is the world-level problems, especially Thailand for over the past years, every Thai government tried to consistently solve the problems but not yet succeeded. Because the problems stemmed from structural poverty. The current government has made the Act 12th of the plan of national economic and societal development, its significance is to solve the problems of poverty. If considering the aspect of theoretical possibility, it has to take a long time solving the problems of poverty in the future. Because building stability, economic and societal prosperity of the country is an important thing that the country is to have a clear target and goal of the long-term development in which all sectors of the society are vigorously collaborative in order to push to have the consistent achievement and respond to the country reform that focus on stability, prosperity and sustainability in the future as planned. The application of Buddhadhamma is an alternative way to help cut down the problems of poverty. If people truly follow the Buddhadhamma, they also build the effectiveness of work, are capable of productivity, and focus on building sufficiency. When having sufficiency, they can produce more for selling or sharing to others, which is consistent with the concept of economic sufficiency.
