Abstract

The integration of all three dimensions which are behavior, mind and wisdom
in the Buddhist emotional intelligence development is very consistent with the four
aspects of self-development (Bhavana 4). Due to the four aspects of selfdevelopment
(Bhavana 4) is the main practice for training , polishing and selfdeveloping
both physically, mentally, intellectually and socially so that those who
well-practiced can able to understand the truth by wise consideration
(Yonisomanasikàra). They will be those who have good spirit and good mental health,
consisting of wisdom and happiness and have a supportive and creative behavior
through the body and verbal. In addition, they also know the sacrifice, helping each
other mutually. Those who train and develop themselves well according to the four
aspects of self-development (Bhavana 4) would inevitably affect the Buddhist
emotional intelligence development and help adolescents in digital age’s society to
maintain and develop good mental conditions and also can be expressed with
supportive and creative behavior by their wisdom.
